Default Security Door - One Way Screws

The others are wise, that you should get ordinary screws to
use for the first bit of time. A week or so, while the house
and frame settles.

As to installing, use a slotted screw driver tip in a
cordless drill.

I am about to install a security screen door which will be
attached to the
house with 8 included 4-inch color-matched one-way screws.
Obviously, I
need to get it right the first time. According to the
oh-so-simple
instructions, I just need to drill 3/16-inch holes, then use
a flat blade
screwdriver to insert the screws.

How do the pros do this? Is there a drill bit for one-way
screws? I also
had the idea to first install the door using 2-inch hex-head
lag screws,
then remove them one by one and replace with the one-way
screws.

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
