The current escutcheon on my front door mortice lock has a round chunky cast brass cover - hinged at the top. I'm changing the door furniture to brushed stainless steel and have found everything else apart from that. All I can find with a cover are those rather cheap looking pressed from sheet domed ones.

Punishment for trying to put brushed stainless steel on a Victorian front door :-)
Because unlike brass it doesn't need any maintenance.
Fair doos, I thought even brushed stainless deteriorates. Shiny chrome I can understand!
I find an outdoor covered escutcheon is a nuisance especially when trying to open the door with your hands full of shopping. At most, a covered escutcheon indoors and a plain one outside is all we need.
I have a posh deadlock for normal use. The mortise lock is only there because insurance companies send to like them.
Everyone has that. ;-)
I wanted to match the rather nice outside lights from TLC. They are wall mounted, and fire a LED both up and down.
I just move it aside with the key. Simples.
Pardon me for asking a question related to DIY.
But what on earth made you think I have anything more than a passing interest in the Labour party? Other than as a way to wind up all the extreme right wing Tories on here.
