Kwikset 788HFLRDT-18G Halifax Lever Half Dummy Gunmetal

Product Description

The KWIKSET 788HFLRDT-18G is a Halifax-style lever with a round rose trim, configured as a half dummy, and finished in Gunmetal. A half dummy lever does not latch or lock — it functions as a fixed pull handle, making it the correct choice for non-latching applications such as closet doors, pantry doors, and decorative double-door entries where one inactive door panel requires a handle. The lever mounts to a single side of the door without a through-bore spindle connection. It ships as a single unit and is designed for residential interior installations where hardware consistency across the home is a priority.

This half dummy lever is suited for interior residential applications, particularly on doors that do not require a latch or lock mechanism. Common install scenarios include bi-fold pass-through closets, wardrobe doors, and the inactive leaf of a French door pair. The Halifax series offers a contemporary profile that coordinates with other 788 series trim in the same Gunmetal finish, allowing a consistent look across multiple doors within a single space.

Installation Notes

Half dummy levers are installed by a carpenter, locksmith, or general contractor and do not require a cylindrical bore through the door. Mounting hardware is typically included; follow the manufacturer's template for rose plate placement and fastener alignment. No lockset cylinder, latch bore, or strike plate work is required for this trim type. Ensure the door surface is clean and flat before mounting to prevent rose plate rocking.
