Finish Lock Openings with Matching Keyhole Covers
A bare keyhole can leave the door looking unfinished and expose the surrounding surface to wear. MacBlair stocks door escutcheons to frame lock openings neatly and coordinate them with handles or other ironmongery.
Match the escutcheon to the key profile, lock position and door furniture finish. Confirm that the plate covers the prepared opening without obstructing the key, cylinder or lock movement.
Mark both sides from the fitted lock rather than relying on the old paint line. Drill clean pilot holes and keep paired escutcheons aligned. Check the wider door furniture range for compatible parts, and match the fixing arrangement with suitable door hinges where the installation requires them.
