Oval Profile Escutcheons

Why Choose an Oval Cylinder Escutcheon?

Although oval cylinder locks have become less common in new builds across the UK, many properties—especially older or commercial buildings—still rely on them. Oval profile escutcheons are specifically designed to work with oval lock cases, typically paired with door handles on rose or mortice knobs.

They cover the visible hole cut into the door, helping protect the lock mechanism and provide a finished, tidy appearance. Commonly fitted to external timber doors, they also help reduce wear around the keyhole and discourage tampering.

Styles, Finishes & Applications

We offer a curated range of oval keyhole covers in timeless finishes including polished brass, satin chrome, polished stainless steel, and black. Whether you're matching with existing door furniture or coordinating with new handles and knobs, our selection supports both modern and traditional aesthetics.

Oval profile escutcheon plates are often used when keeping an existing master key or keyed-alike system. They can be installed on both deadlocks and sashlocks with an oval cylinder profile, offering flexibility and cost-effective refurbishment for projects where replacing the lock itself isn’t practical.

We also offer blank escutcheons and Euro profile escutcheons for other lock types, ensuring consistency across your property.
