Default Drilling into concrete fence post

I shall be replacing my fence soon and will use concrete posts from
wickes.

I assume there will be steel rods inside for strength.

Will I have a problem drilling into one to fit a gate?

Any tips?

Yo gonna need an SDS drill for a start. Best option is to attach a
treated wooden post & fix the gate to that.

Go for the centre & you should miss the rebar. I use Multi Monti's or
Thunderbolts - they won't crack the post.
