Kwikset 488T-26D Tylo Knob Half Dummy Lock Satin Chrome

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488T-26D is a half dummy knob in the Tylo style, finished in satin chrome. A half dummy lock is a non-latching, non-locking trim piece used where a functional latch or keyed cylinder is not needed. It mounts to one side of the door only and is designed purely for pulling or pushing the door. The satin chrome finish provides a brushed, low-sheen appearance suitable for both traditional and transitional interior applications. This knob is installed by finish carpenters, general contractors, and experienced DIYers during new construction or remodel projects.

Half dummy knobs are commonly used on pantry doors, closet doors, double doors where one inactive leaf needs a pull, and decorative cabinet or passage applications where no latch mechanism is required. This single-unit listing is sold individually and is appropriate for residential interior door applications where only one-sided trim is needed.

Installation Notes

Half dummy knobs are installed by finish carpenters or general contractors and do not require a latch bore or strike plate preparation. Ensure the door edge and face bore dimensions match the hardware before installation. No electrical shutoff or specialized tools are required beyond a screwdriver. Follow the manufacturer's included template for proper mounting hole alignment.
