Kwikset 488T-26 Tylo Knob Half Dummy Lock Bright Chrome

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488T-26 is a half dummy door knob in the Tylo style, finished in bright chrome. A half dummy knob is a non-latching, non-locking trim piece that turns but does not operate a latch mechanism. It is used where a door handle is needed for appearance and pull function only, with no actual latching required. The 488T-26 ships as a single unit and is intended for interior residential applications. At 0.3 pounds, it is a lightweight hardware component suited to light-duty door trim work. Installation requires no locksmith credentials and is typically completed by a general contractor, handyman, or experienced DIYer.

This half dummy knob is used on interior doors where latching hardware is not needed, such as closet doors, wardrobe doors, or decorative double doors where only one side requires active hardware. The Tylo style features a rounded knob profile suited to traditional and transitional interior design schemes. The bright chrome finish coordinates with other 26-finish door hardware throughout a home. It is sold individually and is compatible with standard interior door prep.

Installation Notes

Half dummy knobs are installed by general contractors or homeowners and require no licensed trade credentials. Power tools are not required; a standard screwdriver is typically sufficient. Because this knob has no latch or lock function, no door edge bore or strike plate preparation is needed on the latch side. Confirm the door is properly hung and aligned before final installation to ensure smooth operation of the knob trim.
