Kwikset 488CNL-26D Carson Lever Half Dummy Satin Chrome

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488CNL-26D is a light commercial Carson lever in a half dummy configuration, finished in satin chrome. A half dummy lever is a non-latching, non-locking door lever designed purely for pull or push operation — it carries no latch mechanism and requires no bore through the door. This makes it a common choice for closet doors, pantry doors, and passage applications where hardware appearance and ease of pull are required but a functioning latch is not. The satin chrome finish offers a clean, neutral look suited to commercial and residential interior environments. Installation is straightforward and typically handled by a carpenter, locksmith, or general contractor.

The 488CNL-26D fits light commercial interior applications where a decorative, non-latching lever handle is specified. Typical install scenarios include single-sided closet door pulls, bi-fold door accents, and decorative passage applications in offices, light commercial suites, and residential settings. The Carson lever style provides a traditional profile compatible with a wide range of door hardware programs.

Installation Notes

Half dummy levers are installed by a carpenter, locksmith, or general contractor and require no door bore for a latch or strike plate. Power tools are not required for the door itself, though a screwdriver is needed to secure the mounting hardware. Always verify the door thickness and backset against the hardware specification before installation. No keying, programming, or electrical work is involved.
