Lock bit - what's it called?

Feb 18, 2016 3 Replies

What's the name of the circular trim part that goes round the cylinder of a rim nightlatch to finish it off on the outside? An escutcheon, perhaps (although they usually go round keyholes).



And can you buy them on their own? I've lost the one off the nightlatch I was about to fit & don't want to buy a whole new cylinder just to get it.


Needless to say, I found it. Cylinder ring, and yes you can. 40p from Johnstone Tools.

We all love a happy ending!

I've got a few in the van, I was going to offer to pop one in the post!
