#2 PHILLIPS TRUSS HEAD SCREWS #6-20 X 1/2 inch a screw gun and metabo tape and pencil. If you put any other tool on your cart your taking too long.

Sounds like your in good shape then.

Use a metal scratch awl. No drill bit and #8 self tapping screw will complete weather stripping no issues.

It's been 6 years he probably has the weather stripping installed by now.

Depends on if it was at his house or a client's.

The last dozen or so closures and panics i installed all came with self tapping screws. It has been a few years since i have tapped a door for hardware. I may have to dig deep in my truck to find the tap drill kit

Rim strikes like the 0162 get drilled and tapped with 1/4-20 hardware. Also some doors with cylindrical hardware or narrow line aluminum don't come drilled and tapped for the strike, that happens on site.

we just use a pointy nail punch to make a hole, then any screw you like
