If you’re buying new door hardware for your house, I recommend avoiding options that have rectangular escutcheons. They look really sharp in the showroom but look kind of sloppy at home. Door hardware tends to rotate a bit as you use it. If your hardware has straight sides and is right next to something long and level (like, say, the edge of a door) it’s fairly conspicuous when it’s askew, even by just one or two degrees.
