Kwikset 488P-5 Polo Knob Half Dummy Lock Antique Brass

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488P-5 is a half dummy knob designed for interior door applications where no latch or lock function is required. This Polo-style knob mounts to a door surface and turns freely without engaging a latch mechanism, making it the correct choice for closets, pantries, double doors, and decorative applications. The antique brass finish provides a warm, traditional appearance suited to residential interiors. Installation is straightforward and does not require a through-door spindle or backset preparation. Door hardware installers and finish carpenters are the primary trades that handle this type of hardware.

The 488P-5 is intended for single-sided, non-latching door applications in residential settings. Typical uses include bi-fold doors, wardrobe closets, and the inactive leaf of a double door pair where only a pull handle is needed. The knob is sold as a single unit and is part of the Polo style family, which offers a rounded, traditional profile. The antique brass finish coordinates with other Polo-series hardware for a consistent look throughout an interior space.

Installation Notes

Half dummy knobs are typically installed by finish carpenters or general contractors and do not require a latch bore or cross-bore. No lock prep or spindle hole is needed — the knob mounts directly to the door face with machine screws. Ensure the door is secure and stable before drilling any pilot holes for mounting hardware. Follow the template included with the hardware for correct screw placement.
