Unlacquered brass back door fitting on backplate
Back door hardware on escutcheon in unlacquered brass is a complete door handle set with an elongated escutcheon specifically for back doors (garden door, patio door, utility room door) in solid brass without a UV-protective lacquer coating. Function: the escutcheon covers both the handle and lock passage in a single element. For classic back doors where a visually monumental statement is desired. Niche collection: in the unlacquered brass back door hardware on escutcheon collection from Deurbeslag Expert, you will currently find 1 Intersteel version. To expand the range: request custom advice from suppliers. Other unlacquered versions on escutcheons can be ordered on request. Versus rosette version: rosette is more compact and modern; escutcheon is more classic with a single continuous element. Unlacquered character: develops patina faster with UV exposure (1-3 years). Particularly relevant for south- or west-facing back doors in the garden.
When do you choose unlacquered brass back door hardware on an escutcheon?
Specific choice for a classic monumental back door. Classic 1930s home with a wooden back door: for authentic renovations where unlacquered brass matches other front and interior door elements. Monumental townhouse with a garden door: for a classic historical appearance. For an old back door with a lever lock: the escutcheon integrates both the handle and keyhole positions. Not suitable for: modern back doors (choose rosette version in more stable titanium PVD); bathroom back doors in damp environments (patina can be irregular); industrial-modern style (choose stainless steel or matte black). For a more stable alternative: choose brass titanium PVD back door hardware on an escutcheon for 15+ years without patina.

Fixing: M5 through-bolts through the door thickness (standard 40-55 mm back door). Pre-drill into the door.
Patina evolution on UV-exposed rear door
Important consideration for unlacquered brass on a garden door. Faster patina with UV exposure: a south- or west-facing back door develops patina in 1-3 years. Moisture exposure: in rain and damp garden conditions, patina can be uneven. Areas with more rain exposure develop faster. For those who desire an even patina: polish paste once every 2-3 months. Maintenance in a garden position: use a damp cloth for dust; for stubborn stains, use mild dish soap. Avoid ammonia, acetone, and vinegar. These can cause unlacquered brass. For extra UV and weather resistance: choose a titanium PVD alternative for 15+ years of stability without patina evolution.
