Kwikset 488P-26D Polo Knob Half Dummy Lock Satin Chrome

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488P-26D is a half dummy knob designed for interior door applications where a functioning latch or lock mechanism is not required. The Polo knob style features a satin chrome finish and mounts to one side of the door, providing a grip point for pulling or pushing without any keying, turning latch, or lock cylinder. This hardware is typically installed by finish carpenters, general contractors, or experienced DIYers during new construction or remodel projects where consistent door hardware styling is the priority across closet, pantry, or decorative passage doors.

This dummy knob is suited for residential interior applications on non-latching doors such as closet bi-fold doors, decorative double doors, or any passage where a full lockset or passage function is unnecessary. The satin chrome finish coordinates with a wide range of interior hardware finishes for a consistent aesthetic throughout a home. Each unit is sold individually and is intended for single-sided surface mounting.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a finish carpenter or general contractor using a screwdriver and the hardware included with the unit. No door boring or latch preparation is required for a dummy function knob. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and the door face is plumb before fastening. No electrical shutoff or plumbing isolation is needed for this hardware type.
