I have a steel patio door going to my deck. It is a 64″ X 20″ full light opening. A friend of mine gave me a 64″ X 22″ insert containing blinds built into the window. What power tools do I need to cut the steel other than a hacksaw?

      i wouldn’t cut it…
      as soon as you cut the steel patio door, which by the way would be very heavy, they’re usually constructed from aluminum, you will weaken the door..
