In the collection which you can download here, there are 10 Keyhole escutcheon patterns.

In heraldry Escutcheon is a shield or shield-shaped emblem, displaying a coat of arms. The term ‘escutcheon’ also means a ‘keyhole plate’ i.e. plate that surrounds a keyhole or lock cylinder on a door. Its function is to hold the lock cylinder fixed in its place and to protect the lock cylinder environment from damage caused by the tip of the key. Today, escutcheons are generally of a simple circular or rectangular shape due to mass production and to be as cheap as possible. Until 100 years ago, escutcheons had not only a functional purpose but also a decorative one. They were of different shapes, often adorned with ornamental bass-relief and made of different metal alloys. Decorative models of escutcheons can still be purchased today, but you can also make them using our patterns. They may not be as decorative as industrial ones, but if you need an escutcheon for a shed, garage or some side door, and want an unusual escutcheon on them, why not make one with the help of an escutcheon pattern from this collection.
