Kwikset 488BLLH-5 Left Hand Lever Half Dummy Lock

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488BLLH-5 is a left-hand Balboa lever half dummy lock finished in antique brass. A dummy lock contains no latch mechanism and no keyed cylinder — it is a fixed, non-turning lever used purely for the pull function on closets, pantries, double doors, and other passages that require no latching or locking. The lever mounts to a single face of the door. At 0.55 pounds, the unit is lightweight and straightforward to install. The antique brass finish suits a range of traditional and transitional interior door styles.

This half dummy lever is intended for interior residential applications where a door does not require a working latch. Common installations include closet doors, wardrobe doors, the inactive panel of a double-door entry, and bypass or bi-fold configurations where a pull handle is needed. The left-hand designation indicates the hinge side of the door as approached from the pull side. Confirm hand orientation before ordering, as half dummy levers are not field-reversible.

Key Features

• Half dummy configuration — no latch, no lock cylinder, no turn function
• Left-hand orientation for correct lever presentation on designated door configurations
• Antique brass finish for compatibility with traditional and transitional interior hardware schemes
• Lightweight construction at 0.55 pounds for easy single-person installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style half dummy lever for residential interior doors where no latching function is required. Confirm left-hand orientation and door prep before installation.

Installation Notes

Half dummy levers are installed by finish carpenters, locksmiths, or experienced DIYers and require no door boring beyond the existing face-mount screw holes. No lock prep or cross-bore is needed. Confirm the hand designation matches the door before mounting, as the lever direction is fixed. Follow the fastener instructions included with the unit and ensure the door face is clean and flat before seating the base plate.
