Kwikset 788H-26 Hancock Knob Half Dummy Lock Chrome

Product Description

The KWIKSET 788H-26 is a half dummy knob designed for doors that require a non-latching, non-locking pull point. Unlike a passage or privacy knob, a half dummy has no mechanical latch or turn mechanism — it mounts to one face of the door and functions purely as a grip. This makes it the standard choice for closet doors, pantry doors, double inactive doors, and other interior applications where hardware appearance and ease of pull are the goals. It ships in a Bright Chrome finish and installs with standard door hardware tools. Finish carpenters, general contractors, and skilled DIYers typically handle this installation.

The 788H-26 is suited for interior residential applications. Typical use cases include single-door closets, bi-fold door pairs where only a pull is needed, and the inactive leaf of a French door set. The Bright Chrome finish coordinates with other 26-series Kwikset door hardware for a consistent look across a room or hallway. One unit is sold per order, with a case quantity of 20 for project or contractor orders.

Installation Notes

Half dummy knobs are installed by finish carpenters or general contractors and do not require a door bore for a latch mechanism — only the knob rose mounting screws are used. Power down any nearby low-voltage door sensors before drilling or fastening. Follow door manufacturer guidelines for hardware placement to avoid splitting the stile. No keying, latching, or strike plate work is required for this hardware type.
