Kwikset 488CV 15 V1 Cove Dummy Knob Satin Nickel

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488CV 15 V1 is a Cove-style dummy knob finished in satin nickel, designed for doors that require a pull or passage handle without a latching or locking mechanism. Dummy knobs are non-functional hardware — they do not turn a spindle or actuate a latch — making them the correct choice for closet doors, pantry doors, or decorative double-door applications where only one active knob is needed. The satin nickel finish provides a brushed, low-sheen appearance consistent with contemporary and transitional interior hardware styles. Installation is straightforward and requires no special tools or lock preparation beyond standard door prep.

This dummy knob is suited for interior residential applications where a matching, non-operational knob is needed on the inactive side of a door or on a door that swings freely without latching. Common installations include bi-fold bypass door pulls, wardrobe closets, utility room doors, and the stationary panel of a double-door entry. The Cove profile is a rounded, traditional knob shape compatible with standard residential door thicknesses and rose-mount configurations.

Installation Notes

Dummy knobs are typically installed by finish carpenters, general contractors, or qualified DIYers working on interior door hardware. No lock prep or bore alignment to a latch is required, but the door must have a standard knob-bore hole to accept the rose mount. Power tools are not required; a screwdriver is sufficient for most installations. Always verify door thickness compatibility before mounting.
