Frequently asked questions about the Door Handles category
What are Door Handles?
Door Handles are decorative and protective escutcheons and cover plates for door cylinders, handles and locks made from metal, stainless steel, MDF or plastic; they conceal cut-outs, add protection against tampering and give the door a finished look (suitable for internal and entrance doors).
How do stainless steel escutcheons differ from plastic ones?
Stainless steel escutcheons are stronger and corrosion-resistant, suitable for entrance doors and exterior exposure; plastic is lighter and cheaper, better for interior doors and decorative uses. Stainless finishes commonly include satin or chrome, while plastic comes in various colours and textures.
Which escutcheons suit interior doors?
Light decorative escutcheons made of MDF, plastic or chrome-plated metal suit interior doors: 17 PZ-style covers or BB key plates fit standard cylinders and rose handles, providing a neat finish without enhanced burglary resistance.
Which escutcheons are suitable for entrance doors?
For entrance doors choose durable cylinder escutcheons in stainless steel or reinforced metal with drill protection and corrosion resistance; closed-profile models like OPUS PZ016 and satin/chrome finishes are suitable for outdoor exposure.
What are MDF escutcheons and when to choose them?
MDF escutcheons are decorative panels made from medium-density fibreboard; choose them for interior doors when you need a good finish, paintability or laminating options, and when high anti-tamper protection is not required.
Can escutcheons be used between different door models and how to check compatibility?
Check the cylinder diameter and distances between fixing points; confirm the type (PZ, BB, WC) and dimensions in millimetres from product specs (e.g. 17 PZ). Measure your existing cut-out and backset before buying.
Are there special escutcheons for cars (door covers for auto)?
This category focuses on door lock components for home and interior doors; car door covers are in a separate auto accessories category — search for 'дверные накладки на авто' or equivalent to find automotive interior or exterior trim pieces.
What sizes do escutcheons come in and how to measure the correct size?
Common measurements are given in millimetres: cylinder diameter (e.g. 17 mm for SÜDAMIKUKATE 17 PZ), rectangular plate height/width and fixing distances. Measure the cylinder diameter, door thickness and the distance from cylinder centre to door edge to ensure compatibility.
Is additional protection (drill- or burglary-resistance) needed for a metal escutcheon?
A metal escutcheon improves mechanical protection over MDF/plastic, but real burglary resistance requires reinforced construction and anti-drill features; standard decorative metal plates provide limited resistance to forceful attacks.
What finishes are available for escutcheons (chrome, satin, brass etc.)?
Available finishes include chrome, satin, brushed stainless, brass/messing and antique — products are labelled CHROME, SATIIN, MESSING or PRONKS. Match the finish to your door hardware for a cohesive look.
How to install a cylinder escutcheon — do I need a professional?
Installation is usually straightforward: remove the old escutcheon, align the new one with the cylinder centre and secure with screws; reinforced models may require drilling and professional adjustment. If you’re unsure about compatibility, use a locksmith.
How to choose between PZ, BB and WC models?
PZ fits cylinder locks with a profile cylinder, BB (key-key) is for locks keyed on both sides, WC is for bathroom locks with a thumbturn. Identify your current escutcheon type or measure the openings before selecting.
