Kwikset 488P-514 Polo Knob Half Dummy Lock Matte Black

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488P-514 is a Polo-style half dummy knob in a matte black finish, designed for interior door applications where passage hardware is needed without a latch or locking mechanism. Half dummy knobs mount directly to the door face and are used on one side only, making them the standard choice for closet doors, wardrobe doors, and decorative applications where a pull is needed but no through-spindle or latch function is required. The unit weighs 0.25 pounds and ships as a single piece. Installation is straightforward and typically performed by finish carpenters, general contractors, or experienced DIYers during new construction or remodel work.

The 488P-514 fits interior residential door applications where a fixed, non-latching knob is specified. Typical installations include bi-fold closet doors, wardrobe panels, and decorative interior doors where only one side of the door requires a pull. The matte black finish is suited for contemporary and transitional interior design schemes. This hardware is sold as a single unit and is intended for light-duty interior use only.

Installation Notes

No latch bore preparation is required — only a mounting hole or surface screw attachment per the manufacturer template. Ensure the door is stable and the surface is clean and flat before mounting. No electrical shutoff or plumbing isolation is required for this hardware.
