FAQs
What type of lock does this escutcheon fit?
This escutcheon is designed to cover keyholes for any British standard sash lock or dead lock.
What material is the escutcheon made from?
The product description does not specify the base material, but it features a durable, corrosion-resistant black finish applied via a high-temperature baking process.
Does this escutcheon come with screws?
Yes, it is supplied with matching wood screws for installation.
Can this escutcheon be used on exterior doors?
The durable, corrosion-resistant finish suggests suitability for exterior use, provided the lock it covers is also appropriately rated for external conditions. However, it is primarily a decorative item.
What are the dimensions of the escutcheon?
The escutcheon has a diameter of 45mm and a thickness of 3mm.
How should I clean the black finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth only. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals that could damage the finish.
Will this escutcheon fit a standard Yale lock keyhole?
It is designed for British standard sash locks or dead locks. A Yale lock typically uses a specific cylinder mechanism; this escutcheon is intended for traditional keyhole slots, not cylinder cutouts.
Troubleshooting
Escutcheon does not sit flush against the door.
Ensure there are no obstructions behind the escutcheon on the door surface. Check if the door material is uneven and consider using a slightly longer screw if necessary, ensuring it doesn't interfere with the lock mechanism.
Screws do not grip the door.
If the door material is soft, the screw holes may need to be filled with wood filler and re-drilled, or longer, thicker screws might be required. Pilot holes are recommended for better screw retention.
The black finish appears to be chipping or fading.
This indicates potential damage from harsh cleaning agents. Use only a soft, damp cloth for cleaning. If damage has occurred, contact the manufacturer for advice on refinishing or replacement.
