Drilling into windows aluminium frames for opening detectors ?

Hi, I'm looking to put my alarm opening detectors on my sliding windows. I have a flat magnet that I can put with double-sided tape on the glass without issues, but the detector has to be fixed with screws otherwise it will probably fall with time. I will test with tape first to see if everything works but after that, for the permanent solution : is drilling into the aluminium frame okay with these screws lengths ? Will I compromise anything, glass or sealing ? See photos here : https://imgur.com/a/GkDYkaS Thanks for the help ! submitted by /u/Edratuom [link] [comments]
