{"product_id":"euro-profile-escutcheon-black-plastic-keyhole-cover","title":"Euro Profile Escutcheon, Black Plastic Keyhole Cover for Gate Lock Cylinders","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA small black plastic cover that finishes the cut-out around a euro cylinder.\u003c\/strong\u003e If you have fitted a euro cylinder to a gate or door, the keyhole cut in the frame or lock box is rarely tidy, and bare edges let rain and grime into the lock. This escutcheon sits over the cut-out, leaving the euro keyhole clear and covering the rough edge behind it, and it fixes with two small screws through the holes top and bottom. It is a cosmetic cover and draught stop, not a security plate. The price shown is for one escutcheon, with a minimum order of 56, because these are bought in numbers by installers fitting out a batch of gates and doors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure style=\"margin:16px 0\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/3002\/8778\/files\/euro-profile-escutcheon-black-plastic-keyhole-cover-drawing.jpg?width=1200\" alt=\"Drawing of the black plastic euro profile escutcheon showing the keyhole opening and two screw holes\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;max-width:760px;height:auto;margin:0 auto\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy this part works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt tidies the cut-out.\u003c\/strong\u003e A keyhole cut with a torch or nibbler leaves a rough opening.
