Questions & Answers

Do you know how thick the plate is?

There are three-fourths of an inch thickness or 3/64 inch. A number such as 046875 or 1 would be equivalent. The 1906 mm.

Can it be used with standard kwikset entry door knobs?

There is a 2 1/8" bore hole in it, so it will fit a standard handle.

Are these products suitable for covering the extra holes that come from the larger ADA locksets with rosettes?

If the hole from the previous rosette is big enough, it can be tucked between the new rosette and the door itself under the door to hide holes and marks and give the hardware something to grip when the new set screws are tightened.

Can you tell me how big the inside is?

The fact that there is such a thing surprised me, but I'm glad is exists! Recently, the knobs of both doors in our front yard broke with the lock on our front door
5/5

I will never forget it. My husband is in a wheelchair, and that's the only door he can use. My harrowing attempts to remove the bolt were prompted by my pulling, rocking, clicking, and cursing. My dad's support was essential (he helped me to remove the stupid bolt) I also cursed this old house. Unfortunately, the tools pressed against the door knob plate during the fight with the bolt, resulting in a small hole. I found a door knob plate extender by searching "door knob plate extender" online as I could not use the new plate to completely cover the hole. It wasn't until I ran a search for "scare plate" that I found out this is an actual thing. It's a blessing I live in Texas, so I didn't want janky bugs to be able to find way in through even a tiny opening. I found these scar plates to be the perfect solution Simple to install and solid, they are ideal for a variety of situations. The enclosure reinforces the area as well as covers the gap, so they provide some added security. There were two sets in my shopping cart In order to make it appear intentional, there should be one for the door knob and one for the deadbolt. If I need more scar plates in the future, now that I know they are a thing I will definitely purchase them.

Changing an entry lockset is no longer as easy as it once was
5/5

I just couldn't put new levers in my steel door because the hole in the door looks like it was chewed into place by a metal eating creature. Due to the latch set's two positions and the fact that a third option wasn't available, I was left with a tiny gap on the back side of the escutcheon plate that is simply impossible to fill with what is now considered standard for It was impossible to eliminate it so the only option was to cover it and that worked. Besides the fact that it did match the lever set and the lockset looks good, there wasn't much else to say except that it was one of two things I had to purchase to properly install the lockset, the other being a new latch strike to conceal my Despite a few bucks and limited labor, I was able to easily solve my problem without the use of any electric tools.

It is acceptable to have scars
5/5

There are not as many affordable scar plates as I would like. Though my deadbolts are brushed nickel, the chrome plates don't conflict too much with them. Although the installation of the deadbolt with these plates can be a bit fiddly because of how to keep everything centered and conceal the semicircular cutouts, they both conceal gouges from previous installations Taking care of installers as well as installing irregularly You need to drill holes of the correct size.

The modifications worked, but they needed to be modified
4/5

Our new locks could not fit in a hole too big for the filler. Initially, we chose to spray paint them to match our oil rubbed bronze fixtures, and we found lightly gluing them in place was the best way to keep them central. In general, they do not have the most exciting jobs around the house to do, but they function perfectly for our needs.

The product is awesome
5/5

Thanks for making it available. An incorrect hole was left in the door next to the knob by the contractor. Was a terrible sight. I took off the door knob and installed these on either side. They fully covered the blank spot and fitted perfectly when the doorknob was re-installed. Happy New Year!.

An issue that had persisted for a long time has been resolved
5/5

I have been fussing over this item for a very long time. My home has a door where someone has fixed the screw that holds the door knob along with the rest of the door. The house was sold one time before I bought it. This is what I came up with after dealing with it for some time, but I stumbled upon this method and thought it might solve the problem. Everything now works as it should, and the door knob is now working. As well as this item, it does not look bad when installed on the door, so I am considering getting one for each door, in order to ensure that no issues arise in the future, and to also ensure that they are all the same. Compared with a new door, it makes more sense to fix this for 2 dollars, rather than spending 100 dollars.

The door was about to be trashed and I saved it
5/5

A poor drill job left the deadbolt hole terrible and it was difficult to turn the key as the deadbolt would sink in the hole. Using this method, the deadbolt gained a new surface to clamp down to and now it works better than ever before. The door is still in good shape, so I don't have to buy a new one.

My screen door would have looked perfect with this spacer
4/5

The screws were too long and the handle was too small for the opening in my screen door, so I bought this to space it out. It performed exactly as I expected, but it was a bit challenging to get the door knob centered on the plate exactly, I have ocd, so it took some time to get everything in place.
