    I have been wanting to do this but so far cant bring myself to drill into the metal. And the plastic I feel like wouldnt be secure enough. I will probably do it once I get a cool opener

    I have a local hardware store that has a decent selection of metal. I'm not sure what you need exactly but yeah they might have something.

    I love that place. They have just about everything in there. Best part is it's like 5 minutes down the road.
