Vintage-Inspired Style for Today’s Doors
Bring the character of vintage door hardware to your home with our Ambassador Doorknob Escutcheon.
Inspired by classic mid-century design, the Ambassador offers an elongated decorative backplate that gives an ordinary doorknob a more distinctive presence. Its scaled-down proportions make it particularly appealing for customers who want vintage-inspired styling that works with contemporary doors and modern locksets.
Handcrafted from cast aluminum, this decorative escutcheon combines sculptural character with practical installation.

Installation and Fit
Installation is straightforward: remove your existing doorknob, position the escutcheon against the door, and reinstall the knob to hold the plate in place.
Before ordering, measure your backset, doorknob flange, and clearance from the edge of the door. Compatibility depends on the dimensions of your existing hardware.
Please measure carefully before purchasing. If you’re unsure whether the Ambassador will fit your lockset, contact us before ordering.
