Kwikset 488BLRH-15 Balboa Lever Half Dummy Lock

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488BLRH-15 is a right-hand half dummy lever designed for interior door applications where no latching or locking function is required. This Balboa-style lever installs on one side of the door only, providing a matching handle for closets, pantries, and double doors where a working latch is not needed. The satin nickel finish delivers a clean, neutral appearance suited to a wide range of interior trim packages. At 0.3 pounds, the hardware is lightweight and straightforward to mount. Installation requires only basic hand tools and no locksmith credentials.

Half dummy levers are a standard specification in residential construction and remodel work. They are commonly installed on closet doors, double entry doors where one inactive door leaf needs a pull handle, and pantry doors. This right-hand unit is intended for applications where the hinge is on the left and the lever faces right when viewed from the pull side. Finish carpenters, general contractors, and knowledgeable DIYers routinely install this type of hardware during new construction trim-out or interior door replacement projects.

Key Features

• Half dummy function — no latch mechanism, no key, decorative and pull use only
• Right-hand orientation for correct lever positioning on the door face
• Balboa lever style with satin nickel (15) finish
• Lightweight construction at 0.3 pounds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation half dummy lever for standard residential interior doors requiring a non-latching pull handle on one side.

Installation Notes

Half dummy levers mount directly to the door face using screws and do not require a latch bore or edge bore. Power tools are not needed for typical installation. No lockout or keying procedure applies to dummy hardware. Confirm right-hand orientation matches the door swing and hinge placement before installation.
