If you hit metal, unless you are tapping for a machine thread screw, which you will then use a tap to cut the threads, you may have to go up in size slighty of the drill used to allow a sheet metal thread screw to install.

Just be sure what you have first! I always measure three times, and try to drill once (or twice if you have to go up in hole size).
