Kwikset 488BLLH-26D Balboa Lever Half Dummy Lock Satin Chrome

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488BLLH-26D is a left-hand half dummy lever designed for interior door applications where a functional latch or lock is not required. This trim piece mounts to one side of the door only and provides the appearance and pull of a full lever set without any latching mechanism. Finished in satin chrome, the Balboa lever style suits a range of residential interior settings. It is installed by finish carpenters, door hardware specialists, or experienced DIYers during new construction, remodel, or hardware replacement projects. The unit ships as a single piece and weighs 0.2 pounds.

Half dummy levers are used on closet doors, pantry doors, barn-style doors, and other interior passages where a latch or keyed entry is unnecessary. They are also commonly paired in sets on double doors where one side is stationary. The Balboa style integrates into most standard residential interior door configurations. This left-hand version is specified when the hinge side of the door is on the right as viewed from the pull side, so confirm door hand before ordering.

Key Features

• Half dummy function — no latching mechanism, decorative pull only
• Left-hand orientation for correct lever positioning on designated door hand
• Satin chrome (26D) finish for a clean, low-sheen appearance
• Balboa lever style suits transitional and contemporary residential interiors

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style half dummy lever for standard residential interior door preparations. Pair with a matching right-hand unit for double-door installations. Confirm door handing and backset before installation.

Installation Notes

Half dummy levers are installed by finish carpenters or door hardware technicians and require no latch bore preparation in the door edge. Mounting screws typically attach directly to the door face or through a split-spindle assembly — follow the included instruction sheet for fastener placement. No lock or latch cylinder is involved, so no keying or rekeying is required. Confirm door hand before installation, as left-hand and right-hand units are not interchangeable.
