when fitting a new front door do I drill it for locks first then paint it or paint it then drill it? I'm thinking the former then if I cock up the drilling I haven't wasted time painting it.
And following on, do I drill, fit, remove, paint, fit or just drill, paint then fit?
I did all the machining for locks & hinges first, painted in the workshop, allow to cure for as long as you possibly can then hang. I made the jamb too though, so didn’t have to trim on site.
