Default What to use to drill hole in steel door?

I use whole saws for steel studs, you can get allot of wholes out of one
bit. I even put eighteen 21/2" wholes in I beams under cooling towers (
lots of lube) You really don't have another choice. Good Milwaukee whole saw
they can be sharpened to.

What do i use to drill a hole in steel door for the knob?
I got a hole saw, but the steel (tin) will destroy the teeth on it.
I know the inside of the door is wood, but the outer covering is
metal. The only way I can see is to drill about 50 small holes around
the needed circle size, but that seems like a pain.

Any suggestions?
