Kwikset 488LRLRDTLH-15 Ladera Half Dummy Lever Satin Nickel

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488LRLRDTLH-15 is a left-hand Ladera lever with a round rose, configured as a half dummy in a Satin Nickel finish. Half dummy hardware is non-latching and non-locking — it functions as a pull handle only, making it the correct choice for single-side applications such as closet doors, pantry doors, and bi-fold door pulls. The lever mounts to one side of the door without a through-spindle or latch mechanism. At 0.5 pounds, it is a lightweight trim piece installed by finish carpenters, remodelers, and general contractors during interior door hardware replacement or new construction punch-out.

This half dummy lever is suited for residential interior applications where door operation does not require a latch or lock. Typical installations include reach-in closets, pantry doors, and decorative passage doors where hardware is needed on one face only. The Satin Nickel finish coordinates with standard contemporary and transitional interior trim packages. It is sold as a single unit and does not include a latch bolt, strike plate, or opposite-side trim component.

Installation Notes

Half dummy levers are installed by finish carpenters or general contractors and require no door prep for a latch bore — only a rose mounting hole or surface mount depending on door thickness. Verify door hand orientation before ordering, as this unit is left-hand only and is not field-reversible. No lock chassis or latch mechanism is involved, so no key or electrical lockout is required prior to installation. Follow door hardware manufacturer hole-prep templates for proper rose alignment.
