Heritage Brass Escutcheons

Keyhole Covers and Escutcheons for Every Lock and Handle

Every Heritage Brass escutcheon by M.Marcus is here: 237 key, euro, oval and covered escutcheons in solid brass, made to match the lever handles, mortice knobs and pull handles in the same finish. An escutcheon covers the keyhole or cylinder on the door, finishes the lock neatly and protects the timber. Part of the Heritage Brass door furniture accessories range.

Choose the Escutcheon for Your Lock

• Standard key escutcheons: for a 2, 3 or 5 lever mortice sashlock or deadlock
• Euro profile escutcheons: for euro profile locks with a euro cylinder, the most common cylinder in UK homes
• Oval profile escutcheons: only for oval profile locks; oval cylinders are now far less common, so most cylinder doors need a euro escutcheon

Round, Square and Covered Escutcheons

Round escutcheons match the round rose of Heritage Brass door handles on rose, with 53mm versions for most levers. Square escutcheons match square rose, Linear and Bauhaus handles. For mortice knobs and door pull handles, choose one of the smaller keyhole covers, or a covered escutcheon with a swinging cover that keeps out draughts.

Matched to Your Handle Design

Many escutcheons are made to match one handle range, so the escutcheon and handle rose line up exactly: reeded door furniture, Colonial, Century and Tiffany, Lisboa and Crystal, Linear, Bauhaus low profile, square rose and porcelain door furniture.

Or shop by exact finish: polished brass, satin brass, antique brass, matt bronze, polished chrome, satin chrome, satin nickel, polished nickel, matt black. Choose the same finish as your handles, hinges and other door furniture for an exact match.

Escutcheon Questions

What is an escutcheon?
An escutcheon is a small plate that covers the keyhole or cylinder hole in a door. It finishes the lock neatly, protects the timber around the keyhole and ties the lock in with the handles on the same door.

Which escutcheon do I need for my lock?
Match it to the lock. A standard key escutcheon suits a 2, 3 or 5 lever mortice sashlock or deadlock. A euro profile escutcheon suits a lock fitted with a euro cylinder. An oval profile escutcheon is only for oval cylinder locks, which are now far less common than euro cylinders.

Do I need an escutcheon with handles on a backplate?
Usually not. Lock handles on a backplate already have the keyhole or cylinder cut-out in the plate. Escutcheons are needed with lever handles on rose, mortice knobs and pull handles, where there is no plate over the lock.

Will the escutcheon match my handles on rose?
Yes, if you choose the same Heritage Brass finish and rose. The 53mm round escutcheons match the standard round rose, and reeded, Century, Colonial, Lisboa, square, Linear and Bauhaus escutcheons match those handle designs exactly.

What is the difference between an open and a covered escutcheon?
An open escutcheon leaves the keyhole visible. A covered escutcheon has a small pivoting cover that swings over the keyhole to keep out draughts and hide the key way, and is popular on period doors.
