Ian,
The safest and easiest way is to plot and weed them and then trim the app tape out of the hole so the handle doesn`t interfere with the application. This takes a little bit of setting up but gives 100% accurate results.
The trickier way is to manually cut them with a very sharp scalpel once the vinyl is applied. Use a metal ruler for precison and go very slowly around the corners.

Hi Ian,
I just manually cut round them with a scalpel, but to aid matters a bit get an off-cut of magnetic vinyl.
You can place in position and cut along the straight edge, i find it easier than trying to hold a ruler in place.
Also u can cut many radius templates etc out of the magnetic for going around locks/door handles.
They might take a bit of time but u only need to do it the once and you can re-use them again and again.
Hope this helps, Joe
