Kwikset 488P-15 Polo Knob Half Dummy Lock Satin Nickel

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488P-15 is a Polo-style half dummy knob in a satin nickel finish, designed for interior doors where no latching or locking function is required. Dummy knobs are purely decorative and functional as a pull, making them the correct choice for closet doors, pantry doors, and double-door applications where one inactive door leaf needs a matching knob. The 488P-15 mounts to the door surface without a spindle connection to a latch mechanism. Installation is straightforward and typically handled by finish carpenters, general contractors, or experienced homeowners during new construction or remodel work.

This half dummy knob is suited for single-sided residential interior door applications. It is commonly used on bi-fold bypass closet doors, wardrobe doors, and the stationary panel of a French door pair where only a pull handle is needed. The satin nickel finish coordinates with a wide range of interior hardware finishes common in residential settings.

Installation Notes

A licensed finish carpenter or qualified installer typically mounts this dummy knob using the included hardware and a basic screwdriver. No door boring or latch prep is required for a dummy application, but verify the door surface is clean and flat before mounting. Power is not involved — no electrical shutoff is needed. Follow local building codes for door hardware when applicable.
