I have fitted a few of these on new builds and have always passed the book to the foreman ie I will do it but if it brakes I'm not paying for it, I have only broken one though omg £300 ouch.

Easy enough to do!!

You just need a center punch or similar, Hammer, fresh clean underwear and most important of all, (this bits vital or it could all go wrong!) SOMEONE ELSE TO DO IT!!

Remember the first time one arrived on site, great big double sink butler belfast style from a posh shop up in town heard numbers heading up to £1000, and the first one got broke in transit!! Told the foreman "I'm not taking a hammer to that!!"

Diamond drill. Always best to take a little while and be safe not sorry (or out of pocket).
