Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires standard door hardware tools, specifically a screwdriver appropriate for your door material (wood or composite). Ensure the escutcheon is centered correctly over the existing keyhole before fastening. Regarding compatibility, this product is designed for traditional keyhole shapes; ensure your current key type fits behind the cover before mounting. To maintain the gold finish, wipe the escutcheon periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these may scratch the surface or strip the gold plating.
