Chrome front door hardware
What exactly is chrome front door hardware?
Front door hardware is a security rosette plus backplate that is mounted over the cylinder and handle recess of your front door. It protects the lock mechanism against mechanical attack from the outside. In a chrome finish for a classic look, it suits a classic villa with an elegant appearance.

What is SKG3 with core pull protection?
SKG3 (3 stars) is the highest SKG security rating. A minimum of 5 minutes resistance to an attempted break-in on the lock, cylinder, and fittings combined. This is critical for villa-grade security. With core pull protection. Integrated mechanical protection against forcibly pulling out the cylinder. This is essential for a front or back door where you want maximum security.
For a standard home or for PKVW insurance requirements, SKG**® (2 stars, 3 minutes resistance) also works perfectly. For a villa, detached house, or for stricter insurance requirements, choose SKG3.
What is a 72mm oval profile cylinder hole?
72mm refers to the distance between the handle hole and the cylinder hole. Modern front door standard. For a front door you are replacing: measure the distance between the existing handle position and the cylinder position to determine the correct size. Oval refers to the shape of the cylinder recess. Rounded oval shape for an elegant appearance.
For alternative sizes such as 55mm or 92mm, see the broader security hardwarecategory. For those choosing between shapes: Oval for elegance, Square for a more modern design.
For which villa does chrome front door hardware work?
Chrome works ideally for a classic home with a classic look. It matches visually with classic door handle elements, chrome letter plates, and house numbers. For a 1930s home or a classic country house, chrome is the right choice. For a modern villa with character, chrome is usually too flashy. Brushed stainless steel works better there.
