A back plate is the normally rectangular shaped plate that fits on the door and to which the door handle is mounted. If there is a locking mechanism on the door, the back plate will hide the holes needed to fit the lock. If there is a key to the lock, the back plate will also have a key hole to where the key in inserted. These plates have both a functional purpose – they hide all the holes in the door near the handles and also protect the wood from scratches made by keys being put in the keyhole as well and complementing the looks of the handle.
