Kwikset 488BL Lh 15 Cp Balboa Dummy Lever Satin Nickel

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488BL LH 15 CP is a left-handed dummy lever in the Balboa style, finished in Satin Nickel. Dummy levers have no latch or lock mechanism — they are non-functional hardware used to provide a matching grip on the inactive side of a door, such as a closet, pantry, or french door application. This lever installs with a standard screwdriver and requires no drilling or complex hardware. It meets ANSI/BHMA Grade 3 standards and carries a lifetime warranty covering both the mechanical components and the finish. This product is sold in a package of four units.

This dummy lever is suited for residential interior doors where a pull handle is needed but no latching function is required. Common applications include double doors, bypass closets, and decorative door sets where one side must match an active lever. The Balboa style offers a traditional curved lever profile. The Satin Nickel finish is a widely specified residential hardware finish compatible with brushed metal trim packages. Installation is straightforward and does not require a locksmith or specialized contractor.

Installation Notes

Dummy levers are typically installed by finish carpenters, locksmiths, or general contractors during interior trim-out. No door prep or bore is required beyond the standard rose mounting holes. Ensure the door is stable and the existing bore plate aligns with the lever rose before fastening. Always confirm left-hand versus right-hand orientation before installation — hand orientation is determined by the hinge side of the door when viewed from the pull side.
