Kwikset 488BLLH-26 Balboa Lever Half Dummy Lock Bright Chrome

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488BLLH-26 is a left-hand half dummy lever designed for interior door applications where no latching or locking mechanism is needed. Finished in bright chrome, this Balboa-style lever serves as a pull handle only, making it the correct choice for closet doors, pantry doors, and other passages that swing freely without a latch. It weighs 0.35 pounds and measures approximately 5.7 inches in length, 2.8 inches in width, and 2.7 inches in height. Installation requires no through-bore preparation beyond a surface-mount fastening. Hardware professionals and finish carpenters install this type of hardware as part of interior door trim packages.

This dummy lever is intended for single-side or paired decorative applications on interior doors that do not require a latch or lock function. Typical installs include bi-fold doors, wardrobe doors, pantry doors, and shallow-depth doors where a full latch bore is not practical or not desired. It is sold as a single unit and is specified left-hand orientation, meaning it is intended for doors where the hinge is on the right when facing the door from the pull side.

Installation Notes

Dummy levers are installed by finish carpenters or general contractors during interior door trim work and do not require a licensed locksmith. Power down any adjacent electronic hardware before working on the door assembly. No latch bore or strike preparation is needed for a half dummy application — confirm door thickness and backset requirements before ordering. Follow local building codes for interior door hardware requirements in residential occupancies.
