The current escutcheon on my front door mortice lock has a

changing the door furniture to brushed stainless steel and
have found everything else apart from that.
Why?
Because unlike brass it doesn't need any maintenance.
I find an outdoor covered escutcheon is a nuisance especially when
trying to open the door with your hands full of shopping. At most, a
covered escutcheon indoors and a plain one outside is all we need.
I have a posh deadlock for normal use. The mortise lock is only there
because insurance companies send to like them.
