Desparately seeking front door hardware (Escutcheon plate)
We are replacing our front door and have been looking hard to find the Eichler (or knock-off) Escutcheon plate. Unfortunately the one company/person in San Jose (KRE8 design) that was making them no longer does. New or used would be fine, we just want to go with the hardware that would best compliment our house.
Does anyone have any other vendor suggestions OR might you (or your neighbor) be interested in selling the original hardware for your front door?
Please e-mail me if you are interested/can help. Thanks!
I was having difficulty finding the original front door hardware and escutcheon plate. Then I saw an article about a Southern California Eichler owner who machines the escutcheon and includes it with the door knob as a set. He has a few slight variations to choose from - I received mine within 2 weeks - I think it cost $125 for the set. He does this work on the side so it's not the speediest process but I am pleased with the result. Now I just have to get the new front door! Send me an email at alisa AT bellata DOT com if you would like his contact information.
