Keyhole Cover Types

"But Joe, aren't all keyhole covers the same?" you may ask (not that my name is Joe, but that's a story for another time). My response? Absolutely not, dear reader! You see, keyhole covers come in a wonderful variety.

You have decorative door escutcheons that not only blockade the elements but elevate your door aesthetics. Then there are those that focus on enhanced security with restricted keyway access. And let's not forget to applaud the unassuming, simple yet effective draft-proof covers!

Okay tool-wielders; let's roll up those sleeves and dive into the world of DIY keyhole cover installation. Fear not! The Repairman is here, sharing his box of tricks on how to do-it-your-right yourself:

1. Choose Your Champion: First things first, select a keyhole cover that matches your needs. Does your door fancy a decorative escutcheon or are the draft-proof covers calling your name? Choice is yours, friend.
2. Tools Unleashed: Supply your trusty toolbox with a drill, a Phillips-head screwdriver, and a panel pin punch.
3. Drafting the Blueprint: Mark your intended position around the keyhole with a pencil. Remember folks, measure thrice and drill once!
4. The Mighty Drill: Use the right drill bit size (usually given in your keyhole cover's specifications) and steadily drill the fixing holes.
5. Mounting Glory: Now align your keyhole cover and slowly work the screws into the drilled holes. Use the Phillips-head screwdriver or the panel pin punch for a clean, flush finish.

Extra Tips for Extraordinary Handypersons

Great job on making it this far troopers! Here are some additional tips from your favorite fictional repairman:

• Lubricate the keyhole and the moving parts of your keyhole cover occasionally. This keeps your cover functioning smoothly and prevents the bothersome squeaking.
• Check if there’s a draft slipping from your door keyhole, even with the cover on. If so, you might want to consider a thicker or foam-lined cover.
• Brass covers tend to be more weather-resistant and longer lasting. And let's face it, guys, they look much classier!

Now, in case a rotting yeti emerges from your keyhole or you discover Narnia, remember, the Repairman gave you no such assurance! Jokes apart, it's always beneficial to consult a professional if things seem more complicated.
