Brass titanium PVD safety rosette
The overarching brass titanium PVD security rosette collection is a specific premium category of security rosettes for SKG3-compliant front door hardware with a brass-based titanium nitride PVD coating. What is a security rosette? A rosette surrounding the profile cylinder of a front door that offers active anti-pry protection. Unlike a standard cylinder plate (which is merely a decorative cover plate), a security rosette has a hardened steel core or a free-rotating collar that prevents the cylinder from being pried out. When essential: With SKG3-compliant villa-grade security hardware (5 minutes resistance to burglary, core pull protection against claw pullers). Versus brass titanium PVD security rosette Round: This main category includes all shape versions, while brass titanium PVD security rosette Round is specifically for round versions. Both contain 2 Intersteel models. The overarching collection and the round subcategory display the same products. In the brass titanium PVD security rosette collection, you will find 2 Intersteel versions with SKG3 certification and core pull protection.
What is a security rosette and how does it work?
A security escutcheon is an essential security element. Problem without a security escutcheon: with a standard cylinder pass-through featuring only a decorative cylinder plate, a burglar can pull the cylinder out of the lock using a claw puller or core-pulling pin. This is the most common burglary method for front doors with PC72 or PC92 cylinders. Security escutcheon solution: hardened steel core in a brass casing or a free-rotating collar around the cylinder. Hardened core: 4500 HV hardness. Impermeable with standard burglar tools. Distributes force over a large surface area. Free-rotating collar: rotates upon contact with a tool. The tool cannot get a grip to pull the cylinder. Core pulling protection: specific anti-pry design against core-pulling attacks. SKG3 certification required: SKG3 (5 min resistance) requires a hardened security escutcheon with core pulling protection. certification: SKG2 (3 min resistance) requires a standard security escutcheon but does not always include core pulling protection.
Intersteel security rosette. Versions
The 2 products in this collection are from Intersteel. Dutch mid-segment, factory in Poland. Material: hardened steel core (4500 HV hardness) in a solid brass casing, with PVD-coated titanium nitride in a brass tone on the exterior. UV resistance: 15+ years in normal outdoor use. SKG compliant: SKG3 certification. Common for villa-grade security hardware. Shape: round design, common Ø50-55 mm. For matching with round door handle rosettes on the front door. Core pull protection: built-in anti-pry protection against claw pullers and core-pulling pins. Mounting: through-through M5-M6 bolts through the door thickness to the inner security shield. Anti-pry requirement requires through-through mounting (SKG standard).
PVD brass vs. electroplated brass. Durability comparison
Important choice for brass security escutcheons. PVD brass (premium. This collection): titanium nitride PVD coating in a brass tone. 4500 HV hardness, 15+ years UV resistant without fading. No patina formation. Purchase price ~2-3× more expensive than electroplated. For villa-grade and long-term investment. Electroplated brass (budget): standard electrolytic brass coating. 3-5 years UV resistant. For front doors with UV exposure (south or west-facing), typically 5-8 years before repair is required. For PKVW budget renovation. For front doors (UV-exposed): PVD is the clear winner. Saves replacement costs over 15+ years of use. For protected rear sides: electroplated may be sufficient. For villa-grade SKG3: standard PVD version. Matches the investment level of the rest of the security hardware package.

Three dimensions determine installation. Rosette diameter: Ø50-55 mm for Intersteel versions. Cylinder passage: 17 mm for profile cylinder (Dutch standard). Fastening: M5-M6 through-bolts through the door thickness to the inner security escutcheon. Installation steps: 1. Remove existing cylinder plate or security rosette. 2. Place new security rosette on the outside over the cylinder passage. Mark mounting holes. 3. Drill pilot holes in the door (3 mm solid wood, 4 mm soft wood). 4. On the inside, place matching inner plate or inner security escutcheon with through-bolts. 5. Tighten firmly. No play. 6. Test cylinder operation: insert key and turn. The lock must operate smoothly. The security rosette does not rotate (hardened core) or rotate freely (collar version). PVD maintenance: a damp cloth is sufficient; do not polish (can damage PVD coating).
