Door escutcheon METAL-BUD square rounded key graphite finish

METAL-BUD square rounded key escutcheon in graphite finish is a metal door accessory designed to cover and protect the keyhole of key-operated locks. The escutcheon combines a square outer shape with gently rounded corners and a central round key aperture, providing a discreet, modern look that complements contemporary door hardware. It is suitable for both interior and exterior doors where a graphite-colored metal finish is desired and fits standard key cylinders.

Advantages

The escutcheon offers metal protection for the keyhole against wear, dirt and minor impacts while maintaining consistent alignment with the lock cylinder. Its graphite finish is corrosion-resistant and provides a uniform appearance that conceals scratches better than bright polished surfaces. The simple geometric design integrates with a wide range of door handles and plates, and the durable construction ensures long-term functional performance in normal residential and light commercial settings.

Suitable for

• Interior apartment and room doors with key-operated locks
• Exterior entrance doors where a graphite metal finish is required
• Replacement or upgrade of existing escutcheons to match modern hardware
• Doors with standard round key cylinders

Key specifications

• Material: metal construction suitable for door hardware use
• Shape: square plate with rounded corners and central round key aperture
• Finish: graphite-coloured metal finish that resists visual wear
• Compatibility: fits standard key cylinder profiles used in residential doors
• Application: suitable for interior and exterior door installation

How to use

Position the escutcheon over the key cylinder so the central aperture aligns with the keyhole and the plate sits flush against the door surface. Secure the escutcheon using the screws appropriate for the door thickness and material, ensuring the plate is level and the key operates freely through the aperture. For exterior installations, verify that any exposed fixings are tightened and that the graphite finish remains intact after installation.

Usage recommendations

For best results, choose screws compatible with the door material and check alignment with the lock cylinder before final tightening. Clean the graphite finish with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent when necessary; avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the finish and reduce the risk of visible damage.
