Also,

I don't know if it makes a big difference but after drilling the hole to the final size, I like to use a countersink bit to just ease the top of the hole a bit. This way you have a small bevel around the drill hole. I find you don't get as much splintering and it allows for the screw to go right in. I believe it also stops the paint from chipping beyond the drilled hole.
