Stop Keyhole Draughts & Heat Loss - 34mm Magnetic Cover for Mortice Lock Keyholes

An unsealed keyhole is a hidden source of cold draughts, heat loss, and noise infiltration in your home. The Mini Magflap by Magman is a 34mm diameter magnetic keyhole cover that creates a draught-proof seal over mortice lock keyholes, preventing warm air escape and cold air entry. Unlike traditional swinging escutcheon covers that rattle and leave gaps, or keyhole brushes that wear out within months, the Mini Magflap's precision magnetic seal self-closes after key use - maintaining 100% insulation efficiency year-round with zero maintenance.

Designed and manufactured in Leicester, UK since 2009, the Mini Magflap features all-metal construction with cork gasket sealing for durability that outlasts cheap plastic escutcheons by over 10 years. Choose between stick-on installation (tool-free, 2 minutes) or screw-fix mounting (permanent security). Available in Brushed Brass, Nickel, Black, White, Chrome, Copper, and Stainless Steel finishes to match your existing door furniture. Low-profile 7mm thickness sits flush - won't interfere with key operation. Patent-pending magnetic closure mechanism registered with UK Intellectual Property Office.

Why Choose Mini Magflap Over Traditional Keyhole Covers?

Magnetic Seal Technology - Silent, Draught-Proof Closure

Traditional keyhole covers use swinging metal escutcheons with springs that weaken over time, creating gaps that allow draughts through. The springs click and clatter loudly every time you insert your key - disturbing noise throughout the day. The Mini Magflap uses precision-balanced neodymium magnets to create a gentle, silent seal. The magnetic disc opens easily for key insertion and self-closes automatically without noise or springs. Perfectly balanced magnetic force ensures easy key operation while maintaining complete draught-proof seal when not in use.

All-Metal Construction - Lasts 10+ Years vs 1-2 Years for Plastic

Cheap plastic keyhole escutcheons crack in cold weather, adhesive fails within months, and thin construction allows heat transfer. The Mini Magflap is crafted from durable metal with cork gasket sealing - materials that withstand decades of daily key use without degradation. Our customers report original units still working perfectly after 10+ years. Investment in quality means you buy once, not repeatedly replacing failed plastic covers every winter.

34mm Universal Fit - Works With Most UK Mortice Lock Keyholes

The Mini Magflap's 34mm diameter fits standard mortice lock keyholes found on timber doors, uPVC doors, and composite doors throughout the UK. Compatible with lever handle mortice locks, traditional mortice deadlocks, euro cylinder escutcheons, and most UK door furniture. The 34mm size is approximately the diameter of a £2 coin - easy to visualize for fitment checking. Measure your existing keyhole escutcheon before ordering: if it's 34mm or smaller, Mini Magflap will fit perfectly.

Dual Installation Options - Stick-On or Screw-Fix (Your Choice)

- Stick-On Method: Self-adhesive backing allows tool-free installation in under 2 minutes. Simply clean the door surface, peel the backing, and press firmly for 30 seconds. Perfect for rental properties where screw holes aren't permitted, or for quick installation without tools. Works on internal OR external door faces.

Screw-Fix Method: For permanent security or situations where adhesive may fail (high-traffic doors, external weather exposure), screw-fix option included. One central screw secures the Mini Magflap permanently - no risk of adhesive failure. Requires Phillips screwdriver only.

Both installation methods included with every Mini Magflap - choose the approach that suits your door and situation.

Multiple Premium Finishes - Match Your Door Furniture

Available in seven finishes to coordinate with existing door handles, letterbox, and hardware:
- Brushed Brass: Warm gold tone for traditional brass door furniture
- Nickel: Satin silver finish for modern chrome/steel handles  
- Powder Coated Black: Smooth matte black for contemporary doors
- Powder Coated White: Clean finish for white uPVC doors
- Chrome: Bright polished finish for high-shine door furniture
- Copper: Rich copper tone for period property aesthetics
- Stainless Steel: Industrial brushed steel appearance

Choose finish to match or complement your existing door hardware for cohesive aesthetic. Low-profile 7mm thickness sits flush against door surface - won't protrude or interfere with key operation.

99% Recyclable Materials - Eco-Friendly UK Manufacturing

Metal construction is 100% recyclable. Cork gaskets are renewable, biodegradable material that replaces plastic seals - supporting sustainable manufacturing. Long product life (10+ years) reduces waste compared to annual plastic escutcheon replacements. Made in Leicester by our family-run team since 2009 - supporting British manufacturing jobs and quality craftsmanship over mass-produced imports.

Designed for Mortice Lock Keyholes - Not Yale Locks

Important: The Mini Magflap is designed for **mortice lock keyholes** (the keyhole in the door itself, usually with a lever handle or separate deadlock). It does NOT fit Yale-type cylinder locks (the round cylinders that protrude from the door). Measure your keyhole diameter before ordering - if you have a mortice lock keyhole measuring approximately 34mm, this will fit. If you have a Yale lock, you need a different solution.

Will the 34mm Mini Magflap Fit Your Keyhole?

Understanding 34mm Sizing

The Mini Magflap is 34mm in diameter - approximately the size of a £2 coin. This size fits:
- Standard mortice lock keyholes
- Lever handle mortice lock keyholes
- Traditional mortice deadlock keyholes
- Euro cylinder escutcheon keyholes (some models)

How to Check Fitment:

Method 1 - Measure Existing Escutcheon:
If you have an existing keyhole cover, measure its diameter with a ruler. If it's 34mm or smaller, Mini Magflap will fit. If it's larger than 34mm, you'll have a size gap.

Method 2 - Coin Test:
Hold a £2 coin over your keyhole. If the coin covers the keyhole opening completely, Mini Magflap will fit (£2 coins are approximately 28mm - smaller than the 34mm Mini Magflap).

Method 3 - Direct Measurement:
Use a ruler to measure the widest point of your keyhole opening. If it's less than 30mm wide, Mini Magflap will cover it with room to spare.

What if My Keyhole is Larger?

If your existing keyhole escutcheon is larger than 34mm, or you have no existing escutcheon and the keyhole opening itself is very wide, Mini Magflap may not provide full coverage. Contact us for custom sizing options or alternative solutions for oversized keyholes.

How to Install Mini Magflap (2-Minute Guide)

Stick-On Installation (No Tools Required):

Step 1 - Clean Surface (30 seconds)
Wipe the door area around your keyhole with rubbing alcohol or household cleaner. Remove any dust, grease, or old adhesive. Allow surface to dry completely - adhesion requires clean, dry surface.

Step 2 - Remove Existing Escutcheon (if present)
If you have an old keyhole cover, remove it first. Most escutcheons unscrew with one central screw or peel off if adhesive-mounted. Clean any remaining adhesive residue with rubbing alcohol.

Step 3 - Position Mini Magflap (30 seconds)
Hold Mini Magflap over keyhole without removing backing film. Check alignment - the keyhole opening should be visible through the Mini Magflap's aperture. Mark position lightly with pencil if needed.

Step 4 - Peel and Stick (30 seconds)
Peel the protective film from the adhesive backing. Align Mini Magflap over keyhole and press firmly for 30 seconds. Apply even pressure across entire surface to ensure full adhesive contact.

Step 5 - Test Operation (30 seconds)
Insert your key through the magnetic disc - it should open easily. Remove key - disc should self-close magnetically and seal completely. If disc doesn't close fully, check that nothing is obstructing the magnetic closure.

Total Time: Under 2 minutes

Screw-Fix Installation (Screwdriver Required):

Step 1 - Remove Existing Escutcheon
Unscrew and remove any existing keyhole cover. Clean the mounting area.

Step 2 - Position Mini Magflap
Hold Mini Magflap over keyhole. The central screw hole should align with your existing screw hole (if present) or mark a new hole if installing fresh.

Step 3 - Screw Secure
Insert provided screw through central hole and tighten with Phillips screwdriver. Do NOT overtighten - snug fit only. Over-tightening can warp the magnetic disc mechanism.

Step 4 - Test Operation
Insert key and check smooth magnetic operation.

Total Time: Under 5 minutes

Troubleshooting:

- Adhesive Won't Stick:
- Surface must be clean and dry
- Temperature should be above 10°C for optimal adhesion
- Press firmly for full 30 seconds
- Allow 24 hours for adhesive to cure fully before heavy use

Magnetic Disc Won't Close:
- Check nothing is obstructing the closure (dust, paint residue)
- Ensure screw isn't over-tightened (for screw-fix installation)
- Magnetic disc should move freely - if binding, loosen screw slightly

Key Won't Insert Smoothly:
- Check Mini Magflap is centered over keyhole opening
- Magnetic disc should align with actual keyhole
- Reposition if aperture alignment is off

Which Finish Should You Choose?

Matching Door Furniture:

Brass Door Handles → Choose Brushed Brass Mini Magflap
Warm gold tones coordinate with traditional brass lever handles, brass letterboxes, and brass door knockers. Brushed finish hides fingerprints better than polished brass.

Chrome/Steel Handles → Choose Nickel or Stainless Steel Mini Magflap
Silver tones match modern chrome handles, stainless steel letterboxes, and contemporary door hardware. Nickel offers satin finish; stainless steel gives brushed industrial look.

Black Handles → Choose Powder Coated Black Mini Magflap
Smooth matte black coordinates with modern black lever handles, black letterboxes, and contemporary minimalist door furniture.

White uPVC Doors → Choose Powder Coated White Mini Magflap
Clean white finish blends seamlessly with white uPVC door panels. Becomes almost invisible against white doors.

Copper Door Furniture → Choose Copper Mini Magflap
Rich copper tone matches copper door handles, copper letterboxes, and period property fixtures.

Chrome Polished Handles → Choose Chrome Mini Magflap
Bright polished finish matches high-shine chrome door furniture for cohesive aesthetic.

Mix and Match Acceptable:

Don't stress about perfect matching. Many period properties successfully mix brass and copper tones, or combine brushed and polished finishes. Choose the finish that appeals to you aesthetically - function matters more than perfect color coordination.

Patina Development:

Brass and Copper finishes will develop natural patina over time when installed externally. This antique appearance is desirable for period properties but can be polished away if you prefer bright finish. Nickel, Black, White, Chrome, and Stainless Steel finishes resist patina and maintain original appearance indefinitely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will the 34mm Mini Magflap fit my keyhole?
A: The 34mm diameter fits most UK mortice lock keyholes. Measure your existing escutcheon - if it's 34mm or smaller, Mini Magflap will fit. Use the £2 coin test: if a £2 coin (28mm) covers your keyhole, the 34mm Mini Magflap will fit with room to spare.

Q: Does it work on Yale locks?
A: No. The Mini Magflap is designed for mortice lock keyholes (the keyhole in the door itself). It does NOT fit Yale-type cylinder locks (the round protruding cylinders). Mortice locks are typically found with lever handles or as separate deadlocks on the door face.

Q: Stick-on or screw-fix - which is better?
A: Stick-on is quickest (2 minutes, no tools). Screw-fix is most permanent and secure. Both options are included - choose based on your situation. Rental properties often require stick-on (no holes). High-traffic doors or external installations benefit from screw-fix security.

Q: Does it really stop draughts?
A: Yes. The magnetic seal creates complete closure over the keyhole. Customers consistently report immediate elimination of cold air coming through keyholes. The cork gasket creates edge-to-edge seal, and magnets ensure zero-gap closure.

Q: Will it interfere with my key?
A: No. The magnetic disc is precision-balanced to open easily when your key pushes through. After you remove the key, magnets pull the disc closed automatically. Smooth, silent operation - no stiff springs or resistance.

Q: How long does the adhesive last?
A: Self-adhesive backing is industrial-grade 3M adhesive designed for permanent mounting. When properly installed on clean, dry surface, adhesive lasts indefinitely. If adhesive fails in future, simply switch to screw-fix method using included screw.

Q: Can I use this on external doors?
A: Yes. Metal construction and cork gasket withstand UK outdoor weather. Install externally for maximum weather protection, or internally for clean exterior appearance. Both options work equally well.

Q: Which finish should I choose?
A: Match your existing door furniture. Brass handles → Brushed Brass Mini Magflap. Chrome handles → Nickel or Stainless Steel. Black handles → Black. White doors → White. Copper furniture → Copper. When in doubt, Nickel is versatile silver tone that coordinates with most hardware.

Q: Will it rust or corrode?
A: Metal finishes resist corrosion. Powder-coated finishes (Black, White) are fully sealed against moisture. Brass and Copper may develop patina externally (desirable antique appearance) but won't rust. Nickel, Chrome, and Stainless Steel resist tarnish indefinitely.

Q: Can I paint it to match my door color?
A: Not recommended. Powder-coated finishes are already sealed and won't accept paint adhesion well. Choose a finish close to your door color, or use a contrasting finish as design feature (e.g., brass on white door).

Q: How thick is it? Will it stick out?
A: 7mm thickness. Low profile design sits flush against door surface - minimal protrusion. Won't interfere with keys, hands, or door operation.

Q: Do I need to remove my old escutcheon first?
A: Yes. Remove any existing keyhole cover before installing Mini Magflap. Most old escutcheons unscrew with one central screw or peel off if adhesive-mounted.
