safety escutcheon
Explanation:
On "old" doors with keyholes, the escutcheon is the largely decorative piece of metal around the hole serving multiple purposes:
- decoration
- protection of the wood, so it doesn't get worn by multiple key entry,
- guide for aligning the key straight
-reflective material making it easier to find the lock in dim light.

In your case, it will be a rounded / cupped / dished piece of metal around the protruding lock cylinder so that attempts to whack the cylinder with a hammer will be largely defeated, the escutcheon diverting the blow.
