What is an Escutcheon and Why Do You Need One?
An escutcheon is a small, often ornate, metal plate used to surround a keyhole or the cylinder of a door lock. While they serve a decorative purpose by providing a neat and finished appearance around the lock, their benefits extend further.
- Enhanced Aesthetics: An escutcheon offers a tidy, professional look, covering the rough edges of a drilled keyhole and complementing your door's style.
Protection for Your Lock: They help to prevent dust, dirt, and debris from entering the lock mechanism, extending the lifespan and ensuring smooth operation of your door locks.
Subtle Security: While not a primary security device, a robust escutcheon can make it slightly more difficult for unauthorised access by reinforcing the area around the lock cylinder.
