Kwikset 488BLRH-3 Balboa Lever Half Dummy Lock Bright Brass

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488BLRH-3 is a right-hand Balboa lever half dummy lock finished in Bright Brass. A dummy lock carries no latch or lock mechanism — it functions as a pull handle only, making it the correct choice for non-latching doors such as closet bi-folds, wardrobe doors, or decorative passage applications. The lever mounts to one side of the door without requiring a through-spindle connection. At 0.3 pounds, it is a lightweight single-unit installation suited for residential interior door hardware replacement or new construction trim-out work.

This dummy lever is intended for interior residential applications where door operation requires only a pull, not a latch or lock. Typical install locations include bi-fold closet doors, pantry doors, and decorative room dividers. The Bright Brass finish coordinates with standard residential trim packages. The right-hand designation indicates lever orientation — verify door handing before ordering to ensure correct fitment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a finish carpenter, general contractor, or knowledgeable homeowner. No door prep for a latch bore is required for a dummy lever — only a through-bolt hole or surface-mount attachment point is needed depending on door construction. Confirm door handing prior to installation to ensure the lever arc clears the door frame and trim. No electrical disconnect or special tooling is required beyond standard hand tools.
