I do not have the correct drill attachment to do this but I do have some
1/2-3/4" metal milling bits. I was thinking of drilling the center out with
a 1/2 bit then milling the 1 3/4" hole with the milling bit.

buy a cheap holesaw. in terms of saving time and aggravation, it'll be
the best ten bucks you'll spend.

What brand of lock uses a 1 3/4 hole? I've been a locksmith for 20
years, and not heard of this brand.

You can get a lock installation kit with hole saws, arbors and jigs to position
them at any Home Depot for less than ten bucks.
