Abstract
The deadbolt thumbturn assembly of the present invention includes a thumbturn including a thumbturn extension, which is inserted through a bushing collar and rose bearing, then secured with a retaining ring such that the thumbturn extension is able to rotate within the bushing collar. The threaded bushing collar is then inserted through the aperture of the deadbolt rose and secured with a retaining ring forming a deadbolt thumbturn assembly such that the threaded bushing collar is able to rotate with respect to the deadbolt rose. The thumbturn assembly is then attached to the deadbolt lock by fastening the bushing collar to the threaded boss of the inside housing and inserting the extension of the deadbolt actuator into a receptacle of the thumbturn.
