I agree. At a local hardware store I can buy a pre-hung door. Such
doors usually have a hole for a latch mechanism, and I can choose one
without a lock or I can spend a great deal of money on a very secure
lock. I could drill the hole myself, but it's much simpler if the
manufacturer does it.

We're just asking for the hole.
