Kwikset 488HYL-15 Henley Lever Half Dummy Satin Nickel

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488HYL-15 is a half dummy lever in the Henley style, finished in satin nickel. A half dummy lever is a non-latching, non-locking door handle used where a functional latch or lock is not required. It mounts to one side of the door only, providing a pull handle for doors such as closets, pantries, or bi-fold applications. The satin nickel finish offers a brushed, low-sheen appearance suited to a wide range of interior decors. Installation is straightforward and typically performed by finish carpenters, general contractors, or experienced DIYers during interior trim-out.

This half dummy lever is intended for interior residential applications where hardware is needed for appearance and grip rather than security or latching function. Common installations include single-side closet doors, wardrobe doors, and decorative passage doors where only one face of the door requires a handle. The Henley style features a traditional lever profile compatible with standard interior door prep. The satin nickel finish coordinates with other 15-series hardware in the Kwikset lineup.

Installation Notes

Half dummy levers are typically installed by finish carpenters or general contractors during interior door trim-out. Power down any nearby electrical components if working in tight spaces near wiring. Follow the manufacturer's included template for accurate screw placement to avoid door face damage. No latching hardware, strike plate, or bore preparation is required for a dummy lever installation.
