What is an "escutcheon pin"?
An escutcheon pin is a small, decorative pin used to attach escutcheons, which are metal or ornamental plates, to doors, furniture, or locks. The pin has a narrow shaft and a flat head, and it is typically hammered into place to hold the escutcheon securely. Escutcheon pins are often used in applications where both function and appearance are important, such as on door hardware, where they help keep protective plates or decorative elements in position. These pins are small enough to remain hidden, providing a neat and finished look to the installation.
Examples
The locksmith carefully used an escutcheon pin to secure the decorative plate on the door lock.
