Kwikset 488MNKSQT-26 Maven Knob Half Dummy Lock Chrome

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488MNKSQT-26 is a Maven knob half dummy lock featuring a square rose design in a Bright Chrome finish. A half dummy lock has no latch or lock mechanism — it functions as a fixed pull handle for doors that require no latching action, such as closet doors, pantry doors, and double door applications where one side is stationary. The square rose gives it a clean, contemporary profile that suits modern residential interiors. This hardware is installed by finish carpenters, general contractors, or experienced homeowners during new construction or renovation work.

This half dummy knob is suited for interior residential applications where a door handle is needed for appearance and pulling function only, with no operational latch required. Typical installations include closets, bi-fold door conversions, french door inactive leaves, and decorative passage points. The Bright Chrome finish integrates well with modern and transitional interior styles. Each unit is sold individually.

Installation Notes

Half dummy knobs are installed by finish carpenters or qualified general contractors and require no mortising or latch boring — only a surface or through-bolt mounting to the door face. Ensure the door is stable and not under tension before installation. Follow the fastener instructions included with the unit and do not overtighten mounting screws, as this can crack the rose plate or mar the finish.
