Troubleshooting
Escutcheon appears crooked
Loosen the fixing screws slightly, adjust the alignment using a level, and then re-tighten firmly.
Screws do not sit flush
Check that the pilot holes are deep enough and that the screw heads are compatible with the recessed holes on the escutcheon.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward due to the face-fixing rose design; simply align the escutcheon over the keyhole and secure it using the provided fixing points. Ensure you have the correct screws that match the black antique finish for a seamless appearance. To maintain the integrity of the finish, clean the escutcheon periodically with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid the use of abrasive chemical cleaners or acidic metal polishes, as these can strip the antique black coating and lead to oxidation over time.
