An escutcheon is a general term for a decorative plate used to conceal a functioning, non architectural item. Escutcheons are most often used in conjunction with mechanical, electrical, and plumbing components and fixtures where a pipe, tube, or conduit passes through a wall or other material surface. The escutcheon is used to bridge the gap between the outside diameter of the pipe and the inside diameter of the opening in said surface. Escutcheon can also refer to an item of door furniture . In this case, it is an architectural item that surrounds a keyway keyhole or cylinder lock lock cylinder . Escutcheons help to protect a lock cylinder from being drilled out or snapped, and to protect the surrounding area from damage and wear from the end of the key when it misses the keyhole. They usually come in pairs, the plain one goes on the outside of the door, while on the inside the matching escutcheon has a rotating cover, to prevent prying eyes. These are often installed the wrong way round. The cover also prevents insects or dust from getting into the house room.
