The Schlage Bell Keyed Entry Knob in Bright Brass is a residential-grade lockset designed for single and multi-family entrance doors. This keyed entry lock combines security with convenience, featuring an emergency exit function that allows occupants to leave quickly without unlocking the door from the inside. The warm, golden bright brass finish adds vintage charm and blends seamlessly into virtually any home décor while providing a polished, professional appearance.
This lockset operates with a key from the outside when the interior turn button locks the outer knob, while the inside knob remains always unlocked for panic exit capability. The 1-piece knob design and all-metal construction provide a professional appearance and enhanced security. Installation is straightforward with the 3-piece assembly design and self-aligning screw holes requiring only a Phillips screwdriver, and the key-removable outside knob allows for easy cylinder replacement if needed.
