Kwikset 788H-26D Hancock Knob Half Dummy Lock Satin Chrome

Product Description

The KWIKSET 788H-26D is a half dummy knob lock in the Hancock style, finished in satin chrome. A dummy knob is a non-latching, non-locking door knob that operates as a pull handle only — no spindle, no latch mechanism. It is used on doors that do not require a working latch, such as closet doors, double doors, and pantry doors where one inactive door leaf needs a knob for appearance and pull function. The satin chrome finish provides a consistent look in residential interiors. Installation requires no key cylinder and no latch bore, making this a straightforward door hardware job for carpenters, finish contractors, and capable DIYers.

The 788H-26D fits common residential interior door applications where a functional knob appearance is needed without a latching mechanism. Typical installs include double French door setups where one panel is stationary, bi-fold bypass doors, and closet doors. Sold individually, this half dummy unit is appropriate for single-side installations. It is sized to match standard residential knob trim profiles and coordinates with other Hancock series hardware for a unified look throughout a home.

Installation Notes

Half dummy knobs are typically installed by finish carpenters or door hardware technicians and require only basic hand tools — a screwdriver and a drill if a mounting hole is not already present. No latch bore is required for a dummy knob; however, the door face must be clean and flat at the mounting point. Ensure the door is stable and the hinge side is secure before mounting. No electrical, plumbing, or mechanical systems need to be shut down for this installation.
