Armoured escutcheon
The armoured escutcheon protects the cylinder against drilling, extraction and impact. Your door's first physical barrier. Installed in 30-45 minutes, no building work. From €120.
A good cylinder is useless if a burglar can drill or pull it out in seconds. The armoured escutcheon is a security plate that covers and reinforces the cylinder, stopping the most common physical attacks. It is the fastest, most effective upgrade you can make to your door, with no building work needed. We install escutcheons from security brands such as Abus.
