Kwikset 488DL-11P Delta Lever Half Dummy Lock

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488DL-11P is a half dummy lever designed for interior door applications where a functioning latch or lock mechanism is not required. It mounts to the door face and provides the look and feel of a full lever set without a spindle connection or latch engagement. The unit ships in a Venetian Bronze finish, suitable for coordinating with matching door hardware across a residential interior. Sold as a single unit, it is typically installed by finish carpenters, general contractors, or knowledgeable DIYers during new construction or renovation work.

Half dummy levers are commonly specified for closet doors, pantry doors, and bypass doors in residential settings where passage hardware is not needed but a decorative handle is desired. The 488DL-11P matches the Delta lever style, making it a practical addition when maintaining a consistent hardware style throughout a home. It is sold individually and is intended for single-side surface mounting.
