The original Eichler front door featured unique hardware consisting of a circular, 6" diameter Escutchon plate.
If you are restoring your Eichler and want to maintain its original charm, consider utilizing the Eichler Escutchon door kit instead of a traditional lockset.
When utilizing this special door kit, please note that the size of the large escutchon plate typically requires a larger "setback" (the distance from the edge of the door to the center of the door knob or cylinder) than what can be found on a traditional door or predrilled doors available at your local hardware store. This means that the installation of this kit typically requires either an original Eichler door OR a "blank" door that can be drilled to accomodate the larger setback.

Johnathan is a fellow Eichler owner in Southern California who makes these kits by hand for fellow Eichler entusiasts and mid-century modern homeowners.
