Do I need a keyhole escutcheon with handles on rose?

Often yes. Handles on rose usually do not include a keyhole plate, so a separate escutcheon is used to create a tidy keyhole surround and protect the door from wear.

Is satin chrome the same as polished chrome?

No. Satin chrome has a brushed, softer appearance, while polished chrome is highly reflective. Satin chrome can be more forgiving for fingerprints and light marks in busy areas.

What shape escutcheon should I choose: round or square?

Choose a shape that matches your other door hardware. Round escutcheons pair well with rounded roses and knobs, while square designs suit more angular, modern styles.
