Dexter J54VBYR605 Bright Brass Entry Door Knob

Product Description

The DEXTER J54VBYR605 is a bright brass entry door knob designed for keyed exterior door applications. The outer knob locks via a turn-button in the inner knob and is unlocked from outside by key, making it a standard entry-function lockset. The triple-option spring latch accepts drive-in, square, and radius face plates for flexible installation. A 1/4-inch radius full-lip strike is included. The adjustable backset spans 2-3/8 inches to 2-3/4 inches, covering the two most common door prep dimensions. Finish is bright brass, classified as 605. Sold individually, with keyed-alike availability when a full case of 4 units is ordered.

This entry knob fits standard residential door preparations and is suited for exterior entry doors requiring keyed access control. The keyway is compatible with Schlage keyways, allowing integration into existing Schlage-keyed systems without re-keying the entire property. The 605 bright brass finish suits both new construction and replacement installations. Typical installers are residential locksmiths, carpenters, and general contractors. The ANSI Grade 3 rating establishes minimum baseline security and cycle performance for light-duty residential use.
