What material is the escutcheon plate made from?

The escutcheon plate is forged from iron with a black powder-coated finish.

Can I use this escutcheon plate in my bathroom?

No, this product is not suitable for bathrooms or any unheated/damp rooms due to the nature of cast iron, which is prone to rusting.

How do I install the escutcheon plate?

Drill a pilot hole first to prevent screw shearing, then attach the plate using the provided screws, tightening them by hand only. Do not use a power drill or screwdriver.

Are the dimensions exact?

As the product is handmade, all measurements provided are approximate and may vary slightly.

How should I maintain the plate to prevent rust?

What is the purpose of an escutcheon plate?

An escutcheon plate, or keyhole cover, is a decorative metal plate that covers the keyhole or the area around a lock mechanism, adding an aesthetic finish and protecting the door.

Troubleshooting

Screws will not tighten or shear during installation.

Ensure a pilot hole has been drilled to the correct size for the screws. Tighten screws by hand only; do not use power tools.

Visible rust spots appearing on the plate.

Clean the rusted area gently and apply a fresh coat of household wax polish. Increase the frequency of wax polishing to prevent future rust.
