Blanking Plates

As the name implies, a door blanking plate is a flat plate that locksmiths and other tradespeople use to cover an “unused” opening (like an unused door handle or lock cut-out). In a nutshell, it’s used to cover holes left after removing old locks or escutcheons, giving the door a cleaner look. Blanking plates also prevent ingress of dust or moisture in the door structure while improving door security against potential break-ins.

Locks & Handles recognise your need for enhanced security in your homes. That’s why we only stock credible blanking plates for uPVC doors from well-respected brands. For instance, you can trust TSS for your French door or Fab & Fix’s Windsor models in varying sizes (and prices). We ensure our inventory is adequately stocked, so locksmiths and tradespeople will have the right materials for their on-site visits.

Blanking plates for doors have been around for decades because they’re simple solutions for building finishes. That’s why door fitters use these plates to ensure polished work while meeting safety requirements (especially when repurposing doors or fitting a different lock style). At Locks & Handles we have these professionals’ backs, guaranteeing plate availability.
