Dexter J40VBYR605 Privacy Door Knob Bright Brass

Product Description

The DEXTER J40VBYR605 is a privacy knob lockset designed for bedroom and bathroom doors in residential applications. The interior knob features a turn button that, when engaged, locks both the interior and exterior knobs simultaneously. The exterior knob accepts an emergency key for access when the interior button is accidentally engaged. The latch is a dual-option spring latch that supports both drive-in and radius faceplates, giving installers flexibility on the job. The adjustable triple-option backset accommodates doors prepped at 2-3/8 inches, 2-3/4 inches, or an intermediate setting, making it compatible with most standard door preparations. Finish is Bright Brass, designated as finish code 605.

This lockset is suited for interior privacy applications in residential new construction and remodel work. It is a common specification for bedroom and bathroom doors where one-sided locking with emergency egress access is required. The adjustable backset and dual faceplate options reduce the need for job-site modification, fitting standard door preps without special boring. Residential locksmiths, finish carpenters, and general contractors routinely install this type of hardware during door hardware rough-in or finish trim stages.
