What is an escutcheon used for on a door?

An escutcheon is a protective and decorative plate fitted around a keyhole or cylinder, helping to finish the door neatly while reducing wear around the locking area.

Are From The Anvil escutcheons suitable for Euro profile cylinders?

Yes. Euro Profile Escutcheons are designed to suit modern cylinder lock systems, making them a popular option for both traditional and contemporary doors.

What’s the difference between a Beehive escutcheon and a standard escutcheon?

Beehive escutcheons feature a distinctive raised, shaped profile that adds character and detail, while standard escutcheons typically have a flatter, simpler appearance.

How do I choose the right escutcheon size for my door?

Match the escutcheon to your lock type (e.g., Euro profile cylinder) and ensure it suits your door thickness and existing handle/lock layout. If replacing, measure the current fixing centres and overall cover area.

How do I look after escutcheons to keep the finish looking its best?

Clean gently with a soft cloth and non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, and follow any finish-specific care guidance to help preserve the appearance over time.
