drill bits - hardware
mèche à bois si votre porte est en bois ou un forêt pour porte métallique de 10, 24 [mm]
This is the list of tools you would need to install a door peephole.
The term 'mèche à bois' needs to be distinguished from the following:
forêt (ou scie cloche) de 20, 32, 51 ou 56 [mm]
mèche de 10, 12 ou de 14 [mm]
My best guess is "lip and spur (brad point or dowelling) bit"
Kindly help! Thank you.

flat OR spade bit
These are what I have always known colloquially as "chippy's bits" — the fact it says 'mèche' meane it is a flat rather than twist bit.

I don't think it necessary to specifically state 'wood' since in the EN term that is implicit by the style of bit, as Chris C. rightly points out.
