FAQs
What material is the escutcheon made from?
The product description implies a metal construction suitable for architectural hardware, likely brass or a similar durable alloy, finished in chrome or brass plating.
What are the exact dimensions?
The escutcheon measures 50mm x 50mm.
Does it come with screws?
Yes, it is individually packed and comes complete with screws for installation.
How do I choose the right finish?
Consider the existing hardware on your doors, such as handles, hinges, and locks. Choose a finish (Polished Chrome, Satin Chrome, or Polished Brass) that complements these elements for a cohesive look.
Can this be used on exterior doors?
Yes, architectural quality hardware is typically designed for both interior and exterior use, provided the finish is appropriate for the environment.
What if my keyhole is a different shape or size?
This escutcheon is square and measures 50mm x 50mm. It is designed for standard keyholes. For non-standard sizes or shapes, you may need to look for alternative escutcheon designs.
Troubleshooting
Escutcheon does not sit flush against the door.
Check for any obstructions behind the escutcheon or on the door surface. Ensure the door material is flat. If the keyhole is recessed, a small amount of sealant or packing may be needed, or consider a deeper escutcheon if available.
Screws are difficult to tighten or strip.
Ensure pilot holes are appropriately sized for the screws. Do not overtighten. If stripping occurs, you may need to use slightly larger screws or wood filler to repair the hole before re-drilling.
Finish appears dull or discolored.
Clean the escutcheon with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. For polished finishes, use a specific metal polish suitable for the material (e.g., chrome or brass polish).
