Kwikset 488BLRH-5 Balboa Lever Half Dummy Lock Antique Brass

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488BLRH-5 is a right-hand Balboa lever half dummy lock finished in antique brass. A dummy lock contains no latch mechanism and no keying — it mounts to a door surface to provide a functional pull point without operating any locking hardware. This makes it suited for closet doors, pantry doors, double doors, and other applications where a passage or locking function is not needed. The lever ships as a single unit and is installed by a finish carpenter, general contractor, or knowledgeable homeowner. At 0.55 pounds it is a lightweight trim piece that complements period-appropriate and transitional interior door hardware.

This half dummy lever is intended for interior residential door applications where a decorative lever handle is desired without mechanical latch operation. Common installations include double door sets where one door is stationary, wardrobe closets, and decorative passage applications. The Balboa lever style and antique brass finish coordinate with traditional and transitional interior trim packages. The right-hand designation applies to the hinge-side orientation and should be confirmed against the door swing before ordering.

Installation Notes

Half dummy levers require no latch bore preparation — the lever mounts to the door face using included hardware, typically without specialized tools beyond a screwdriver. Confirm right-hand versus left-hand orientation before installation, as the lever direction is fixed. No door prep for a latch or strike plate is needed. Power tools and lock installation codes do not apply to dummy lever installations.
