Kwikset 488T-5 Tylo Knob Half Dummy Lock Antique Brass

Product Description

The KWIKSET 488T-5 is a half dummy knob in the Tylo style, finished in Antique Brass. A dummy knob is a non-functional, non-latching door knob used strictly for pull or decorative purposes — it contains no latch mechanism, no spindle, and no lock cylinder. It mounts to the door face and operates as a stationary handle. This unit ships as a single knob (half dummy), making it the correct choice for one side of a door or for a surface where only one knob is visible. At 0.35 pounds, it is lightweight and straightforward to mount. Locksmiths, finish carpenters, and general contractors install this type of hardware during new construction or renovation work on interior doors such as closets, pantries, and passage doors where latching is not required.

The KWIKSET 488T-5 is suited for interior residential door applications where a decorative knob is needed without any latching or locking function. Common locations include double doors, bi-fold door pulls, closet doors, and accent doors where one side requires a knob for aesthetics or grip only. The Antique Brass finish coordinates with traditional and transitional interior decors. This product is sold as a single unit (EA) and is packaged individually.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a locksmith, finish carpenter, or general contractor using basic hand tools including a screwdriver. No door prep or bore modification is required for a dummy knob — it mounts directly to the door face via surface screws. Verify door thickness and backset clearance before installation. No electrical disconnection or mechanical lockout is required, but confirm the door is stable and plumb before mounting hardware.
