Default Boring deadbolt in exterior door

ArghArgh posted for all of us...



I bought a Kwikset powerbolt for my exterior door that wasn't drilled for a deadbolt.

I picked up a Bosch carbon 2 1/8" wood hole drill.

The issue is the door seems to be some form on plastic laminate. For sure it isn't metal and for sure it isn't wood. Drilled a small hole as a test with a wood bit and seemed to work fine.

Question: What is this door made of and will the wood hole drill work?

Thanks.


Fiberglass. Yes, also you may wish to purchase a lockset jig so the holes
line up, we don't know your abilities.
