I need to install some locks on some steel windows and the locks require tapped holes. I could just have at it on the screws with an impact driver but would prefer to do it properly. Would it be ok to take a tap set home on Saturday and return it on Sunday?

There is a blue powerfix tap set in the metal cabinet in the messy room. Right hand side chest height if memory serves.  
I’m no authority but I’d say go ahead. [@metaltechs](https://discourse.southlondonmakerspace.org/groups/metaltechs)?

I didn’t bother in the end. Self-tapped the holes with the screws 🙂
