Keyholes<\/h1>\n

\"Keyholes\"
\nA keyhole is a hole or aperture (as in a door or lock) for receiving a key. Lock keyholes shapes vary widely with lock manufacturer, and many manufacturers have a number of unique profiles requiring a specifically milled key blank to engage the lock’s tumblers.<\/p>\n

The Keyhole is essentially a keylock cover. It is an item of ironmongery that surrounds a Keyhole or locking Cylinder. The purpose of the keyholes is to offer protection to your door against damage from the key, help complete the appearance of a door set of ironmongery, prevent prying eyes seeing into a room, and aid in the prevention of the ingress of dust and insects.<\/p>\n

There are three basic different types of Keyholes:<\/h2>\n

1. Standard Keyholes<\/h3>\n

Standard Keyholes are currently the most common keyholes type in the world. They are designed to work with any standard British ‘Chubb’ style lock. The standard keyholes is meant to be used with a standard Sash Lock or Dead Lock. As the standard format leave quite a large hole in the door, some standard keyholes come with a sliding cover, which covers the hole and helps prevent draughts.<\/p>\n
