Kwikset 488MNKRDT-514 Maven Knob Half Dummy Lock Matte Black

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488MNKRDT-514 is a Maven series half dummy knob with a round rose, finished in matte black. A half dummy lock does not latch or lock — it functions as a fixed pull handle only, making it the correct choice for single-side applications such as closet doors, pantry doors, and French door inactive leafs. The knob installs without a latch mechanism and requires no key or turn function. At 0.25 pounds, it is a lightweight trim piece suited for interior door applications where hardware aesthetics and consistent finish matching matter. Installation is straightforward and does not require specialty tools.

This dummy knob is intended for interior residential door applications where a latch or lock is not required. Common use cases include closet doors, pantry doors, hallway doors, and the stationary panel of double French doors. The matte black finish suits contemporary and transitional interior design schemes and can be paired with matching KWIKSET Maven series active hardware to maintain a consistent look throughout a home. Sold as a single unit.

Installation Notes

Half dummy knobs are installed by finish carpenters, handymen, or knowledgeable homeowners and do not require a licensed trade contractor. No latch bore preparation is needed beyond a standard knob through-hole. Ensure the door edge does not require a latch faceplate cutout before ordering this dummy trim. Follow the manufacturer installation template included with the hardware for proper rose alignment and screw placement.
