Kwikset 488BLRH-11P Balboa Lever Half Dummy Lock Venetian Bronze

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488BLRH-11P is a right-hand half dummy lever designed for interior door applications where latching and locking hardware are not required. This Balboa-style lever installs on closets, double doors, and other pass-through openings where a functioning latch is not needed but a finished, coordinated look is. The lever ships in a Venetian Bronze finish and is sold as a single unit. At 0.45 pounds, it is a lightweight trim piece intended for decorative function. Installation requires basic hand tools and no door prep beyond surface mounting.

This half dummy lever is suited for residential interior applications. Common install locations include closet doors, the inactive panel of French door pairs, and bi-fold door pull points. Because the lever does not actuate a latch or bolt, it is appropriate for any door that swings freely or is controlled by a separate latching mechanism. The right-hand orientation is specified in the part number and should be confirmed against the door swing before ordering.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Half dummy levers are typically installed by finish carpenters or general contractors, though any competent DIYer with basic tools can complete the work. Because this is a surface-mounted dummy function lever, no latch bore or strike plate prep is required. Confirm door hand orientation before installation to ensure the lever arc clears the door face correctly. No electrical shutoff or gas isolation is required for this hardware type.
