Kwikset 488CSLRDT-15 Casey Lever Half Dummy Satin Nickel

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488CSLRDT-15 is a half dummy lever with a round rose in a Satin Nickel finish, designed for non-latching door hardware applications. Half dummy levers do not operate a latch or lock mechanism — they function as a fixed pull handle, making them the correct choice for doors that do not require latching, such as closet doors, French doors, and wardrobe entries. The round rose provides a clean, low-profile backplate mounting. At 0.4 pounds, the unit is lightweight and suited for finish carpentry work where a coordinated hardware appearance is the primary requirement.

This lever is used in residential interior installations where a matching set is needed alongside a functioning lockset or passage set on adjacent doors. Common applications include closet bi-fold doors, pantry doors, and single-action French door pairs where only one side requires a pull. The Satin Nickel finish (finish code 15) coordinates with a wide range of interior hardware lines for consistent room aesthetics. Installation is typically handled by a finish carpenter, locksmith, or knowledgeable homeowner during new construction or remodel work.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a half dummy trim piece for standard interior residential door applications where no latching function is required. Verify rose diameter and lever backset against existing door prep before ordering.

Installation Notes

Half dummy levers require no latch bore — only a rose mounting to the door face. A finish carpenter or locksmith typically installs this hardware using a screwdriver and, where applicable, a drill for pilot holes. Confirm door thickness and existing bore preparation before installation. No electrical shutoff or gas isolation is required for this product.
