So here is my advice on drilling the holes in a doorjamb for installing a cage, take it or leave it, I’m a plumber not a mechanic.
These holes

My ocd told me to get a drill bit just big enough for the bolts so there would not be any play. When I blindly drilled them the holes were a hair off and it completely threw me out of whack. Well I got a die grinder bit to elongate the holes and that made a huge fing mess of little metal shavings and the holes looked like shit. So I finally drilled them out bigger with a step bit and I now have nice round holes that line up with the holes in the leg of the cage. I drive myself crazy sometimes, damn

Don’t think I know anyone that drilled the holes perfect. Mine were off and had to be wallowed out.
