The advantages of high quality escutcheons

High-quality escutcheons come in a variety of premium materials in New Zealand, including brass, nickel, ceramic and pewter. This means they’ll be more robust and reliable, functioning as they should for years to come. Higher-quality options also tend to have a nicer and wider range of designs too which means you can make some decorative choices that are specific to the space they’ll be in. You may even be able to match them with complementary door knobs to create a nice cohesive look.  

How to choose an escutcheon that's right for you

You should only choose an escutcheon that is made from high-quality materials such as brass, nickel, ceramic or pewter because these materials will not corrode easily. They are also lightweight, which makes it easier for you to install them on your doors without causing any damage to them. You should also make sure that the keyhole covers are flexible so they can fit into the intended lock design. Aesthetics are a hugely important part of the decision too, given the decorative potential they have. Really think about how they will work with the interior design of the space as a whole to create the look you want to achieve.
