Kwikset 488BL Rh 15 Cp Balboa Dummy Lever Satin Nickel

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488BL RH 15 CP is a right-hand dummy lever in the Balboa style, finished in satin nickel. Dummy levers have no latch mechanism and no lock function — they are purely decorative hardware used to complete a door's appearance where a working knob or lever is not required. This lever installs with a screwdriver alone, making it a straightforward fit for finish carpenters, door hardware installers, and experienced DIYers. It meets ANSI/BHMA Grade 3 standards and carries a lifetime warranty covering both the mechanical components and the finish.

Dummy levers are typically used on inactive doors in pairs, closet doors, pantry doors, and cabinet-style doors where a passage set or privacy set is not needed. This right-hand configuration is suited for doors where the hinge side is on the left when viewed from the pull side. The satin nickel finish coordinates with a wide range of residential interior hardware styles. Package quantity is four units per pack.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard screwdriver and requires no latch bore or additional prep beyond the existing door face-bore. Dummy levers are surface-mounted to the door face and do not engage a strike plate. Verify door hand orientation before installation to ensure the lever curves in the correct direction. No electrical shutoff or mechanical system isolation is required for this hardware installation.
