Feronerie & Configurator
The backplate is a long, vertical plate that covers both the handle area and the key area in a single piece. It is the classic option, found mostly on older doors and on some metal entrance doors.
The backplate's advantage: it covers a larger surface, conceals any imperfections around the lock and delivers a robust, traditional look.
The rosette replaces the long backplate with two small, separate pieces: a round or square one under the handle and one under the key/cylinder. It is the modern, minimalist solution, preferred for today's interior doors.
In the slim versions, the rosette is very thin (5–7 mm) and barely rises from the door, for a clean, discreet look. See the range of Enger rosettes.
