Kwikset 488LRL Lh 15 V1 Ladera Dummy Lever Satin Nickel

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488LRL LH 15 V1 is a left-hand dummy lever in the Ladera style, finished in satin nickel. Dummy levers have no latch or lock mechanism — they serve as a pull handle on doors that swing freely or are hinged on the opposite side. This lever is rated ANSI/BHMA Grade 3, meeting standard residential performance requirements. Installation requires only a screwdriver and takes minutes. It is suited for closets, pantries, and passage doors where no latching hardware is needed. The satin nickel finish is covered by a lifetime finish warranty.

This dummy lever is appropriate for residential interior doors where a decorative handle is needed without a functioning latch. Common applications include double doors where one panel is stationary, bi-fold bypass configurations requiring a pull, and lightweight closet doors. The Ladera style features a contemporary lever profile that coordinates with matching Ladera series hardware throughout a home. A licensed finish carpenter, general contractor, or experienced DIYer can complete installation with basic hand tools.
