Kwikset 788H-514 Hancock Knob Half Dummy Lock

Product Description

The KWIKSET 788H-514 is a half dummy knob in the Hancock style, finished in matte black. A half dummy lock is a non-latching, non-locking door knob used purely for pull or passage function on doors that do not require a latch mechanism. This unit installs on one side of the door only, making it well suited for closets, pantry doors, or decorative applications where turning hardware is desired without a functioning latch. The matte black finish delivers a clean, modern look that coordinates with contemporary interior hardware. Installation is straightforward and is typically handled by a finish carpenter, general contractor, or experienced DIYer working on residential interior door projects.

This half dummy knob is designed for interior residential door applications where a non-operational knob is needed on a single face of the door. Common installations include double doors, closet doors, and pantry entries where one side of the door is stationary or where no latching is required. The Hancock style provides a traditional round knob profile that suits a wide range of interior design schemes. Sold as a single unit.

Installation Notes

Half dummy knobs are installed by finish carpenters, general contractors, or qualified DIYers and do not require a latch bore through the door. Power tools are not typically required beyond a screwdriver. Ensure the door face is clean and the mounting surface is solid before securing the unit. No lock cylinder, strike plate, or latch hardware is involved with a half dummy installation.
