Kwikset 488LRLSQTLH-26 Ladera Lever Half Dummy Bright Chrome

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488LRLSQTLH-26 is a left-hand Ladera lever with a square rose in a half dummy configuration, finished in bright chrome. A half dummy lever is a non-latching, non-locking door handle used where a working latch mechanism is not required. It mounts to the face of the door and operates the lever action without engaging a latch bolt. This makes it the correct choice for closets, pantries, double doors, and other interior applications where simple pull or push operation is preferred. Installation is typically handled by residential contractors, finish carpenters, or knowledgeable DIYers. The bright chrome finish coordinates with standard residential door hardware.

This half dummy lever is suited for interior residential door applications where no latch or lock function is needed. Typical installations include bypass closet doors, wardrobe doors, french door inactive leaves, and pantry doors. The left-hand designation means the lever is oriented for left-hand door swing or inactive panel use. The square rose backplate provides a clean, contemporary profile consistent with modern interior design standards.

Installation Notes

Half dummy levers are installed by residential contractors or finish carpenters and require no latch bore — only a surface-mount screw pattern on the door face. Confirm the door hand orientation before ordering, as left-hand and right-hand levers are not interchangeable. No lock cylinder or latch components are involved, but all fasteners should be driven to a snug fit without over-driving into the door face material. Follow local building codes for hardware requirements on egress and fire-rated doors.
