If your inside is in a finished state, this will cause patching / touch-ups after the window installation (note: door is double walled and holes don't go through).
			** Be careful with wing nut clecos: Since the doors are double walled, you may not be able to fully insert the wing nut cleco in shallow areas. Do not proceed if this happens, rather use a thicker stack of wood pieces. As you tighten the wing nut cleco, the spreader dowel of the cleco is being pushed into the hole. If it hits the inside skin, and you keep tightening, you will pull the cleco out and the hole is ruined.
