Kwikset 488LRLSQTRH-15 Lever Square Rose Half Dummy Satin Nickel

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488LRLSQTRH-15 is a right-hand Ladera lever with a square rose, configured as a half dummy for non-latching interior door applications. Half dummy hardware does not include a latch mechanism or keyway — it functions purely as a pull handle, making it the correct choice for closet doors, pantry doors, and other passages where a latch is not required. The lever is finished in Satin Nickel (finish code 15), a brushed tone that coordinates with a wide range of interior hardware. The unit ships as a single piece (EA) and is installed by general contractors, finish carpenters, or knowledgeable homeowners.

This half dummy lever is suited to residential interior door applications where only one side of the door needs a handle and no latching function is needed. Typical installations include single-door closets, bi-fold bypass doors requiring a fixed pull, and decorative applications where a matching lever style must carry through from active to inactive doors. The square rose profile gives it a contemporary, geometric aesthetic that suits modern and transitional interior design styles.

Key Features

• Half dummy configuration — no latch, no keyway, pull-only function
• Right-hand orientation for correct lever return position on the active side
• Square rose escutcheon for a clean, contemporary look
• Satin Nickel finish (code 15) for a brushed, low-glare appearance
• Compact profile at 5.6 inches long, 3.8 inches wide, and 2.3 inches tall
• Lightweight at 0.4 pounds — minimal door stress during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style residential interior door lever for standard door prep on single interior doors where a non-latching, decorative pull is required. Confirm right-hand designation and square rose backplate clearance before ordering.

Installation Notes

Half dummy levers mount directly to the door face using the included screws — no bore-through or latch preparation is required. A finish carpenter or experienced installer should verify door thickness and backset before mounting to ensure the rose sits flush. No lock cylinder, strike plate, or latch work is involved. Follow local building codes for any door hardware replacement in rental or commercial-residential settings.
