Advice for drilling through a door jamb

Stu Miller
11 months ago

Novice here and would appreciate any advice, please.
I need to drill a hole for a mains adapter for a video doorbell and would ideally like to make the hole within the red square on the jamb in the pic. I would really appreciate advice on whether this is a sensible idea and what kind of drill might be needed.
Thanks in advance!

    If it's upvc, use a HSS metal drill bit. If it's wood, use a wood drill bit.

    Thank you! Any minimum torque requirements for a cordless drill? The jamb is wooden.
