Kwikset 488P-11P Polo Knob Half Dummy Lock Venetian Bronze

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488P-11P is a Polo knob half dummy lock finished in Venetian Bronze. A dummy lock contains no latch mechanism or keying — it is a fixed, non-turning decorative pull used on doors that do not require a latch or passage function. The 488P-11P mounts to a single face of the door and is commonly used on closet doors, pantry doors, and bi-fold or double doors where one side needs a grip point. The Venetian Bronze finish provides a dark, oil-rubbed appearance suited to matching period or transitional hardware schemes. Installation requires basic hand tools and no locksmith credential.

This dummy knob is appropriate for interior residential applications where a stationary pull is needed without a latch mechanism. Typical installations include single-panel closet doors, decorative cabinet doors, and the inactive leaf of a double-door entry where a coordinating pull is required. The Polo style features a rounded, classic knob profile that fits standard residential door preparations.

Installation Notes

A dummy knob is installed by a finish carpenter or general contractor and does not require a licensed locksmith. No latch bore prep is needed, but the door face must be flat and free of obstruction at the mounting point. Ensure the door is not under load or pressure during installation. Follow manufacturer fastener guidance and local building codes for interior hardware.
