I would like to install the swing bar door guard in my front door but the door rim is too thick and I have to cut the shape for the door guard. What are the best tools for cutting/making the shape on the door rim?

Thanks in advance.
 
If you mean that you have to do a cut-out, draw it out first and use a regular metal saw to cut the 2 sides. Use an exacto knife to dig a line joining the first 2 cuts. By folding the cut-out part repeatedly back and forth it will come off neatly.
