FAQs

What material is the escutcheon made from?

The escutcheon is made from solid polished brass.

Does the gold finish tarnish over time?

It is coated with a clear protective layer to prevent tarnishing and maintain its polished appearance.

What are the dimensions of this escutcheon?

The dimensions are 50mm x 50mm.

Are screws included with the escutcheon?

Yes, each escutcheon is individually packed and comes complete with the necessary screws for installation.

Can this escutcheon be used on exterior doors?

This escutcheon is designed primarily for interior doors. For exterior applications, consult products specifically rated for outdoor use.

What other finishes are available?

This model is also available in polished chrome and satin chrome finishes.

How should I clean the escutcheon?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.

Troubleshooting

Escutcheon does not sit flush against the door.

Check for debris or unevenness on the door surface where the escutcheon is being placed. Ensure screws are not over-tightened, which can sometimes cause bowing.

Screws do not seem to hold securely.

If the door material is soft or the hole is stripped, consider using slightly larger screws or a wood filler to create a more secure anchor point for the screws.

Scratches appear on the gold finish.

Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. Minor surface scratches may be difficult to remove due to the clear coat; professional polishing might be an option, but care should be taken not to damage the coating.

The clear coat appears to be peeling or damaged.

This indicates a potential defect or significant wear. Contact the manufacturer or retailer for potential replacement options, especially if within a warranty period.

  • Compact size is suitable for most doors.

Cons

  • Gold finish may not suit traditional or antique décor styles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

Installation is designed to be simple and requires basic tools.

  1. Positioning: Place the escutcheon over the existing keyhole, ensuring it is centered and aligned as desired.
  2. Marking: Lightly mark the screw hole positions on the door surface.
  3. Drilling (Optional): For harder woods, a small pilot hole may be beneficial. Ensure the drill bit is smaller than the screw diameter.
  4. Attachment: Secure the escutcheon to the door using the provided screws. Tighten firmly but avoid over-tightening, which could damage the door material.

Compatibility:

This escutcheon is designed for standard interior doors with typical keyhole cutouts. Its 50mm x 50mm square profile makes it versatile for many door styles, particularly those with a contemporary aesthetic. It is compatible with most standard keyhole shapes and sizes that fall within its cover area.

Care:

To maintain the polished gold finish:

  • Cleaning: Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Dry immediately with a clean, dry cloth.
  • Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the clear coat and underlying finish.
