Scar Plates

Scar Plates

Scar plates are protective hardware components designed to cover and reinforce areas around locks, latches, and other door hardware. They are typically used to conceal marks, holes, or damage left behind after hardware removal or replacement, while also providing an additional layer of security and durability. At John Barnes Group, we supply high-quality scar plates suitable for a variety of door types and finishes. Buy Scar Plates online today from the John Barnes online shop!

What Are Scar Plates?
