Kwikset 488CV-15 Cove Knob Half Dummy Lock Satin Nickel

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488CV-15 is a half dummy knob in the Cove style, finished in satin nickel. A half dummy lock is a non-latching, non-turning decorative knob used where a functional latch is not required. It mounts to one side of a door only, providing a clean, finished look without any locking or latching mechanism. This hardware is suited for closet doors, pantry doors, and other interior passages where a pull or stationary knob is preferred. At 0.2 pounds, it is a lightweight single-unit installation appropriate for finish carpenters, door hardware installers, and experienced DIYers.

The 488CV-15 is designed for residential interior door applications where no latching action is needed. Typical installations include single-sided closet doors, French door stationary panels, and decorative passage points. The satin nickel finish coordinates with a wide range of interior hardware and fixture finishes common in residential construction and remodeling projects.

Installation Notes

Half dummy knobs are installed by finish carpenters or door hardware professionals and do not require a latch bore or spindle connection. No door prep beyond a standard mounting hole is typically needed, though verify door thickness and backset clearance before installation. Ensure the door is stable and the mounting surface is clean before fastening. No electrical shutoff or mechanical lockout is required for this hardware type.
