Kwikset 488MNKRDT-26 Maven Knob Half Dummy Lock Chrome

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488MNKRDT-26 is a Maven series half dummy knob with a round rose base, finished in Bright Chrome. A half dummy lock has no latch mechanism and no keying — it functions as a stationary pull handle only. This hardware is intended for single-sided door applications where latching or locking is not required. The round rose plate provides a clean mounting surface against the door face. At 0.6 pounds, the unit ships as a single piece and installs without complex hardware or specialty tools. Locksmiths, finish carpenters, and general contractors are the typical installers for this type of decorative door hardware.

Half dummy knobs like the 488MNKRDT-26 are used on doors that do not need to latch, such as closet doors, pantry doors, bi-fold door pull points, and decorative passage applications. The Bright Chrome finish suits both traditional and transitional interior design schemes. This hardware is sold as a single unit (EA) and is suited for residential interior door applications.

Installation Notes

Half dummy knobs are installed by finish carpenters, locksmiths, or general contractors using standard hand tools. No latch bore drilling is required — only the knob rose mounting holes are needed. Confirm the door thickness and rose plate alignment before securing fasteners. No electrical shutoff or specialized trade licensing is typically required for decorative door hardware installation.
