Kwikset 488BRNLSQT-514 Breton Lever Half Dummy Matte Black

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488BRNLSQT-514 is a Breton-style half dummy lever with a square rose, finished in Matte Black. A half dummy lever has no latch mechanism and no keying — it functions as a pull handle only, making it the correct choice for closets, pantries, double doors, and other passages where a latching function is not required. The lever mounts to the door face without a through-spindle connection. At 0.5 pounds, it is a lightweight single-piece installation suited for interior residential applications.

This half dummy lever is used on interior doors where a passage or privacy function is not needed. Typical applications include stationary sides of French doors, bi-fold door pull points, closet doors, and decorative door hardware installations. It is sold as a single unit and installs on one side of the door only. The Matte Black finish coordinates with contemporary and transitional interior design schemes.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style half dummy lever for standard interior residential doors; consult door preparation requirements before ordering to confirm rose and bore dimensions match existing door prep.

Installation Notes

Half dummy levers are installed by a finish carpenter or general contractor and do not require locksmith licensing. No latch bore is needed — installation typically requires only a surface-mount screw pattern aligned to the square rose footprint. Confirm the door face is clean and flat before mounting. No electrical shutoff or special trade code compliance is required for this hardware type.
