Kwikset 488LRLRDTRH-514 Half Dummy Lever Matte Black

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488LRLRDTRH-514 is a right-hand Ladera lever with a round rose, configured as a half dummy for non-latching door hardware applications. Dummy levers do not have a latch mechanism or turn function — they mount directly to the door face and serve as a pull handle only. This unit ships as a single piece and is finished in matte black. It is installed by finish carpenters, general contractors, and experienced DIYers on interior doors where no latching or locking action is required. The round rose provides a clean, minimal backplate profile suited to modern and transitional interior design schemes.

Half dummy levers are used on doors that do not need to latch: fixed panels in double-door configurations, closet doors, and bypass or bi-fold applications where a pull point is needed without hardware mechanics. The right-hand designation applies to the hinge and swing orientation of the door. This matte black finish is consistent with current interior hardware trends and coordinates with other components in the KWIKSET Ladera product line.

Installation Notes

Half dummy levers are installed by finish carpenters or general contractors and do not require a door bore for a latch mechanism. Mounting hardware is typically included; confirm fastener compatibility with door thickness before installation. No electrical shutoff or plumbing isolation is required. Follow the door manufacturer's recommended mounting surface preparation for finish-coat doors to avoid surface damage during install.
