Front Door Keyhole Cover

[JD2012]

I am looking for a Keyhole Cover for my Front door. It looks a bit like this picture below. Mine is silver chrome.
I looked in my local B&Q but they had none suitable for my type of lock.
Can I get one that screws in or something thanks.

They are called Escutcheon plates.

In my experience they tend to come as separate items, so for a door with a handle and a mortise lock you will need to buy an escutcheon and a separate handle for the door.

Metal handle?
Buy one of those in link above and use superglue to stick on as that will stick metal to metal really well.

Just offer up the plate and drill a couple of holes for the screws then screw into the timber door.Or use small self tapping screws in the handle plate.

The thing in your pic is a lever lock plate

What is your "type of lock"?

Lever lock (like a Chubb)?

Eurocylinder?

Is it a plastic door?

Its a wooden front door with a mortice lock. The lock plate is aluminum.

You can fit a covered escutcheon on both sides of the key hole. You just need to drill small holes, then small SS bolts and nuts from ebay.

This reminds me I need to do my back door. So, here's a quick 10pm DIY. I don't think my fixings are SS.

First test of my new china screwdriver chuck, pleased with it:
