Kwikset 488LRLSQTLH-514 Half Dummy Lever Matte Black

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488LRLSQTLH-514 is a left-hand Ladera lever with a square rose, configured as a half dummy in a Matte Black finish. Half dummy hardware is non-latching and non-locking — it mounts to the door face and operates as a pull handle only. This makes it the correct choice for closet doors, pantry doors, and other single-side applications where no latch or lock function is needed. The square rose backplate provides a clean, contemporary profile. Installation does not require boring or mortising beyond a standard surface mount, and the Matte Black finish suits modern and transitional interior design schemes.

This lever is intended for interior residential applications where a decorative pull handle is needed without a latch mechanism. Common install locations include bi-fold door pulls, wardrobe doors, and decorative passage doors that are stopped by a catch rather than a latch. The half dummy configuration means only one side of the door receives hardware, distinguishing it from a full dummy or a passage set. Finish and style are matched to the Ladera series for coordinated hardware throughout a room or project.

Installation Notes

Half dummy levers are installed by finish carpenters, door hardware installers, or experienced DIYers working on interior residential doors. No latch bore or cross bore is required — the rose plate mounts directly to the door face using the provided fasteners. Verify door hand (left vs. right) before installation, as this unit is left-hand specific. No keying or lock cylinder work is involved with dummy hardware.
