Kwikset 488DNL-15 Dorian Lever Half Dummy Lock Satin Nickel

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488DNL-15 is a half dummy lever designed for doors that require a pull handle without a latching or locking mechanism. It installs on closet doors, pantry doors, and other passage points where a knob or lever is needed for aesthetics and grip only. The Dorian lever style ships in a Satin Nickel finish, giving it a clean, brushed appearance suited to contemporary and transitional interior trim packages. Weighing 0.55 pounds, this is a straightforward hardware installation that finish carpenters, door hardware installers, and general contractors handle as part of interior door trim-out work.

Half dummy levers are standard on single inactive doors, double doors where one side is stationary, and bi-fold or barn-door style applications where no latch bolt is required. The 488DNL-15 fits into residential new construction and remodel projects where interior door hardware is being specified by finish or style family. The Dorian series provides a consistent lever profile that can be coordinated across multiple door openings within a home for a unified hardware appearance.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style half dummy lever for standard residential interior door preparations. Intended for use on doors that do not require a latching or locking function.

Installation Notes

Half dummy levers mount directly to the door face and do not require a through-bore latch prep, though a standard cross-bore may be present on existing doors. No lock cylinder or latch mechanism is involved, so no keying or cylinder work is required. Installers should confirm the door face prep and backset clearance before mounting. Follow the manufacturer's template and fastener guidance included with the hardware.
