Kwikset 488DNL-11P Dorian Lever Half Dummy Lock

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488DNL-11P is a Dorian-style lever half dummy lock finished in Venetian Bronze. A dummy lock contains no latch or lock mechanism — it is a fixed, non-turning lever used purely for door pull and aesthetic purposes. This hardware is intended for doors that do not require a latch, such as double doors, closet doors, and bi-fold configurations. The Venetian Bronze finish provides a dark, oil-rubbed appearance suitable for traditional and transitional interior applications. Installation is straightforward surface mounting, making this a common specification on residential interior door projects handled by carpenters, finish contractors, or knowledgeable homeowners.

The 488DNL-11P is designed for interior residential applications where a functioning latch or lock is not required. Typical install locations include pantry doors, wardrobe closets, bypass doors, and the inactive leaf of a double-door entry. The Venetian Bronze finish is well-suited for coordination with matching KWIKSET hardware across the same door system or room. This half dummy kit ships as a single unit and is sold individually.

Installation Notes

Half dummy levers are installed by finish carpenters or general contractors using standard hand tools — no mortising or latch prep is required. Confirm the door panel does not require a functioning latch before specifying a dummy fitting. Follow the fastener pattern included with the unit and ensure the mounting surface is structurally sound, particularly on hollow-core doors. No electrical shutoff or plumbing isolation is required for this hardware type.
