As other have said, a hole saw will work well for the round holes...

Problem is, most deadbolts you buy at the borg will require a
rectangular recess to mount the bolt itself. I went to a locksmith
and bought a deadbolt designed for metal doors that only required a
round hole for the bolt. I imagine you can find them online.
