Kwikset 488BLRH-514 Balboa Lever Half Dummy Lock Matte Black

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488BLRH-514 is a right-hand half dummy lever designed for interior door applications where no latching or locking function is required. This Balboa-style lever mounts to one side of the door only, providing a pull handle for closets, pantries, and other passage doors that do not need a latch mechanism. Finished in matte black, it delivers a clean, consistent look that coordinates with modern and transitional interior hardware. At 0.3 pounds, the lever is lightweight and straightforward to install. It is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for residential interior use.

Half dummy levers are used on doors that swing freely without a latch, such as closet doors, bi-fold bypass doors, and decorative double doors where only one side is active. This right-hand configuration suits doors where the lever handle is positioned on the right side when facing the door from the pull side. The Balboa lever style features a contemporary curved profile suited to residential interiors. Licensed contractors, finish carpenters, and knowledgeable DIYers typically handle this type of installation.

Installation Notes

Half dummy levers are surface-mounted to the door face and do not require a latch bore or spindle passage through the door. No lock mechanism means no key or turn-button components to connect. Ensure the mounting screws are driven into solid door material and that the lever is oriented correctly for the hand of the door before final fastening. No special tools or permits are typically required for this type of hardware replacement.
