Older Style Door Catch Escutcheon Plate

[revilla]

Does anyone have, or know where I might be able to get a door catch escutcheon plate of the type shown below? The latest ones from CC are quite different. Already tried Redline and they only have the newer style. Thanks, Andrew

I think I had these originally but changed to later ones which were much better as they protect the rubber trim from damage by the male portion. Can you not change both sides to the later type?

[revilla]

Possibly ... How do the later ones attach?

[Paul Richards]

I can't honestly remember how they attach. They go between the rubber trim and the sill guard and then loop over the top of the rubber. I think they fit using rivets in the same holes as the self tappers in your picture. The plate is then bent over to cover the rivets. Certainly no hint of the previous fixing on show Hole is in exactly the same place  

Hope you can understand.

Yes makes sense. May well be the way to go. Thanks for the info.
