Kwikset 488LRL Rh 15 V1 Ladera Dummy Lever Satin Nickel

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488LRL RH 15 V1 is a right-hand dummy lever in a Satin Nickel finish, part of the Ladera style line. Dummy levers are non-functional door hardware — they have no latch or lock mechanism. They are used on doors that do not require a latch, such as closet doors, bi-fold doors, or paired french doors where only one side latches. Installation requires only a screwdriver, making this a straightforward swap for finish carpenters, remodelers, and experienced DIYers. The lever meets ANSI/BHMA Grade 3 standards and carries a lifetime mechanical and finish warranty.

This dummy lever is suited for residential interior applications where a matching lever handle is needed without a functioning latch. Common installations include double doors with a separate active latch on one side, decorative closet entries, and single-sided passage applications. The Ladera style and Satin Nickel finish are designed to coordinate with other hardware in the same product family for a consistent look throughout a space.

• Right-hand dummy lever configuration — no latch or lock mechanism

Installation Notes

Dummy levers are typically installed by finish carpenters or remodelers during trim-out. No lockset boring or latch prep is required — the lever mounts directly to the door face. Ensure the door surface is clean and flat before mounting. Follow the included template for proper screw placement to avoid surface damage.
