Brass titanium PVD back door fitting on escutcheon
Back door hardware on an escutcheon is a complete door handle set specifically for back doors (garden door, patio door, utility room door). It consists of an elongated escutcheon with an integrated recess for a keyhole or cylinder pass-through, plus a door handle. Difference from front door hardware: Front door hardware typically features SKG-compliant security hardware (SKG2/SKG3) for high burglary protection, with a fixed knob or handle on the outside. Back door hardware on an escutcheon typically has a lower SKG level or lacks SKG certification, with a rotating door handle on both sides. For back doors where daily use is primary (entering and exiting from the garden or patio). Security for back doors: for the specific version with a cylinder pass-through in the escutcheon, combine it with an SKG cylinder to match the security level. Brass titanium PVD version: titanium nitride PVD coating on a brass base. 4500 HV hardness (5-10× stronger than galvanic), 15+ years UV resistant. Critical for back doors with UV exposure in a garden or terrace position. Three escutcheon types: With keyhole (lever lock), with WC version (rarely found on back doors), with PC55 cylinder pass-through (most common for modern back doors). In the brass titanium PVD back door hardware on escutcheon collection , you will find models commonly found at Intersteel.
When do you choose back door hardware on a backplate?
Escutcheon design is common for specific back door applications. When to choose an escutcheon: for classic designs where a single continuous element is desired; for old back doors with lever locks where the escutcheon covers both the handle and keyhole openings; for a visual statement on the back door where the escutcheon is the visible operating element. Versus rosette back door hardware: the rosette design is more compact and modern. For modern back doors, the rosette design is often chosen; for classic back doors, choose an escutcheon. For UV-exposed back doors: brass-titanium-PVD is critical. UV exposure on a south- or west-facing back door is intense and can cause electroplated brass to tarnish in 3-5 years. PVD remains stable for 15+ years. For interior utility room doors: common without SKG requirements, but with a cylinder for access protection.

SKG security at back door
Important consideration for specific back door situations. Back door without SKG requirement: for an interior utility room door or garage door in a sheltered position, standard back door hardware without SKG certification suffices. Back door with SKG requirement: for a freestanding patio door or garden door where the home is directly accessible, choose an additional SKG cylinder or even SKG-compliant security hardware (instead of standard back door hardware). For villa-grade new construction: standard SKG2 minimum for all exterior doors, including the back door. Cylinder choice: choose a cylinder matching your security requirement. Standard SKG2 or SKG3 for a back door with direct external access. Combination: matching brass-titanium-PVD escutcheon + SKG cylinder provides a complete security package for a villa-grade back door. PVD coating advantage: for a UV-exposed back door (commonly south- or west-oriented), PVD is critical for the long-term stability of the brass appearance.
Sizes and mounting
Three dimensions determine whether back door hardware fits a backplate. Backplate length: 220-260 mm, standard for back doors. Comparable to interior door backplates. Backplate width: 40-50 mm, standard. Spindle: 8 mm square for door applications. PC size: PC55, standard for back doors (modern cylinder lock 55 mm spindle distance) or PC72 for heavy back doors. When replacing, measure the existing PC size of your back door lock. Spindle length: 35-100 mm depending on door thickness. Back doors are typically 40-50 mm thicker than interior doors. Fixing: M4 or M5 through-screws through door thickness. Lock backset: 50 mm, Dutch residential construction standard, also for back doors. Material corrosion: Brass PVD is highly corrosion-resistant. Suitable for UV-exposed back doors in a garden position.
