Drive a nail in part way and pull it out again and that will give you a good starting point but there's a good chance you will split the wood if you don't drill a hole

Just don’t get it on the handle of the screw driver as you’ll never get a grip

Your going to need a drill or a good power driver the door is usually light enough timber and a two inch screw will blow it apart without a pilot hole
