This door has a bigger hole than the deadbolt plate. If we just install like that, can see some small hole besides the deadbolt. Although small, still doesn’t look nice. 

Hence something else is needed to cover the hole. There are alternatives like door strengthener, standard backplate which is square, but both doesn’t look nice (according to the customer). 

So we need a custom made solution that will blend in with the lock, so that it looks “original”. We come up with a round, hairline and plasma cut stainless steel according to the fitting of the deadbolt design. The effect is very nice. 

Locksmith always need some custom cut metal plates. Sometimes brass, aluminium or stainless steel. It is simply because there are too many design, situation, thickness, requirement, etc. In order to install the lock to work with durability, strength, and smooth, some degree of customisation is needed. 

So do not be worried your locksmith used some extra plate on your door. If used correctly, it makes your lock and door stronger than before
