what drill bit and size would I need to install this in a metal front door?

I think the instruxction calls for a 5/8 inch bit, I would use a metal drill bit if I were you.

5/8 hex shank spade bit, drill from the front of the door, use masking tape to limit wood splinting.

It takes a 5/8" hole. I didn't have one, but my neighbor did and came down and put the peephole in for me. It definitely would not fit in the hole my smaller view peephole was in.

I had a door knob on my front door and this went right in the existing holes with one exception. The one screw at the very bottom of the handle needed to be drilled. I did it by hand with the screw that came with it but if I were to do it over again I would probably grab my drill and drill a small pilot hole. It does come with templates if you need to do any drilling but I think they are for brand new doors. If you don't have a dead bolt currently you will absolutely need a hole for that.

Kind of... You need special drill bit that fits the drill. Bits come in various sizes, but they must have a hex end to fit in the "chuck". You can buy the special bit at most home improvement stores.

I am not sure I understand your question, but I used a drill bit for metal, and it worked perfectly.

Use the hammer drill. Start with a bit one size smaller than what you need.

Get 1/2" masonry bit. Drill holes, be sure to blow debris out of hole, drop in 1/2" masonry anchors, put nut on bolt, drive bolt into hole until a little more than the nut is sticking out, tighten it up snug, (if you don't get it tight enough, bolt might fall down into hole when you take the nut back off, and then you will need a strong magnet to get it back out) unscrew the nut from the anchor, put strong tie over exposed anchor bolts then tighten down the nuts.

a drill, a 1'/4 drill bit or larger, a 1'1/4 pipe of any kind and some wood screws

Not sure. I didn't need it with my installation. Put this in a regular metal exterior door. No issues with installation.

At the hardware store, get a closed circle hook with the appropriate weight limit. The package usually tells what size hole to drill for it. If it doesn't, you can hold a drill bit in front of the "screw" part of the hook. If you can see the entire threads of the screw on both sides of the drill bit at the same time, it's the right size.

I bought a 12" drill bit extension. I'll let you know how it works when I get it.Bosch Daredevil PSBE1012 12-Inch Drill Bit Extension

Yes. Our door is metal and I used the appropriate drill bit for the pilot holes. Just make sure you get the piece for the floor properly lined up. I drilled that hole about an inch too far into the room and the door opens farther than I would like. Still a great product. I have installed them on several older relative's homes (though be careful not to do it on ALL doors as the fire dept might take your door down if an older person needs help and they can't get in). Good luck.

You would need a drill the right size bit and metal screws to attach the hardware.

Any Hardware store should carry some type of angle iron that you and drill holes into and attach to your door frame. The metal brackets are a safety feature.

I used a 5/16 drill bit and a 1/8th inch pipe thread tap to get the threads started, do not thread the tap in to deep just about 3 threads that way the hole won't be to big. I am sure their are other ways to do it, this is what works for me.

You will need a masonry drill bit, a concrete/masonry anchor (insert) and a screw to match. Any hardware / home improvement store can help you figure out what you need.

It has to be the same chuck size. Check the drill and the bit before purchase.

Any bit set that has 1/4-inch hex would work for this - Im sure Black & Decker also sells bit sets. Keep in mind that this works better as a screw driver than a drill so not recommended to find drill bits larger than 3/16".
