Product Information

Full details

The Timco Traditional Escutcheon Pair is designed for homeowners and contractors looking to secure and finish timber doors equipped with traditional mortice locks. This set offers a reliable way to neaten keyhole areas while adding a layer of privacy through its integrated rotating cover. While these escutcheons are highly durable and versatile for both internal and external use, they are specifically engineered for timber doors, meaning they may not be suitable for ultra-thin composite or glass-style door profiles without minor modifications.

FAQs

Can I use these on uPVC doors?

These are primarily designed for timber doors; using them on uPVC might result in an insecure fit or damage to the door surface.

Does the set include the lock mechanism?

No, this product is the escutcheon pair only and is designed to complement an existing or separately purchased mortice lock.

Is the finish prone to rusting?

The silver finish is durable and moisture-resistant, making it suitable for external doors, though it should be wiped clean if exposed to harsh salt air.

How many plates come in a pack?

The package includes two plates: one open version and one version with a rotating privacy cover.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will need a drill with a small pilot bit, a screwdriver, and a measuring tape to ensure accurate alignment.

Troubleshooting

The cover is stiff or difficult to rotate.

Apply a very small amount of silicone lubricant to the rotation point and work it back and forth.

The plate is loose against the door.

Ensure the screws are fully tightened; if the timber holes are stripped, use a slightly thicker screw or fill the hole with wood filler and re-drill.

The escutcheon does not sit flat on the door.

Check for debris behind the plate or verify that the door surface is not warped at the point of installation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable build quality suitable for external doors
  • Rotating cover adds genuine privacy and draft protection
  • Clean, contemporary silver finish matches various decors
  • Simple installation with included fixings
  • Resistant to fingerprints and wear

Cons

  • Limited to timber door applications
  • Silver finish may not match antique brass or black hardware
  • Requires precise drilling to align with existing mortice locks

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is designed for DIY efficiency. First, ensure the keyhole is centered correctly on your timber door. Position the escutcheon over the keyhole and mark the screw holes with a pencil. Use a pilot drill bit to create small guide holes before driving the provided fixings into the wood to prevent splitting.

For maintenance, wipe the silver surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these may damage the protective brushed-metal coating. If the rotating cover becomes stiff over time, a tiny drop of light silicone lubricant applied to the pivot point will restore smooth movement.
