Kwikset 788A-3 Abbey Knob Half Dummy Lock Bright Brass

Product Description

The KWIKSET 788A-3 is a half dummy door knob in the Abbey style, finished in Bright Brass. A half dummy knob is a non-turning, non-latching fixture used where a door handle is needed for pull or aesthetic purposes only — no lock cylinder, no latch mechanism. It mounts to a single side of the door and is commonly installed on closets, pantries, double doors, and other passages where a working latch is not required. The Bright Brass finish provides a classic, warm-toned appearance suited to a range of residential interior door styles. Installation is straightforward and does not require a locksmith.

This half dummy knob is intended for residential interior applications where door operation requires a grip point without a latching or locking function. Typical installations include bi-fold doors converted to hinged doors, closet doors, and the inactive leaf of double-door entry sets. The Abbey style is a traditional round knob profile that pairs with standard residential door prep and rose plates. Sold as a single unit.

Installation Notes

Half dummy knobs are typically installed by general contractors, finish carpenters, or homeowners without specialized tools beyond a screwdriver. No door boring or latch prep is required for a dummy-only installation. Ensure the door panel is secure and the mounting surface is flush before fastening. Do not attempt to install a half dummy knob as a functioning latch or security device.
