Kwikset 788HFLRDT-26 Halifax Half Dummy Lever Bright Chrome

Product Description

The KWIKSET 788HFLRDT-26 is a half dummy lever featuring the Halifax style with a round rose, finished in Bright Chrome. A half dummy lever has no latch mechanism and no keying — it functions as a pull handle only, making it the correct choice for surfaces that do not require latching, such as one side of a double door, a closet, or a pantry. The Bright Chrome finish provides a polished, reflective surface suited to residential interior applications. At 0.55 pounds, the unit is lightweight and straightforward to mount. Residential door hardware installers and finish carpenters are the typical tradespeople handling this fitting.

The 788HFLRDT-26 is designed for residential interior door applications where a decorative lever handle is needed without an active latch or lock function. Common installations include single-sided closet doors, bi-fold door pull points, and the inactive panel of French door pairs. The Halifax lever design and round rose plate offer a traditional aesthetic that coordinates with matching Kwikset Halifax series hardware used elsewhere in the same space.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style half dummy lever for residential interior doors; intended to coordinate with other Halifax series door hardware in the Kwikset product line where a non-latching pull handle is required.

Installation Notes

Half dummy levers are surface-mounted to the door face and do not require a latch bore or cross-bore — confirm the door preparation matches the round rose footprint before installation. No electrical disconnection is required; standard hand tools including a screwdriver are sufficient. Follow the door hardware manufacturer's template for screw hole placement to ensure proper rose seating and lever alignment. Because this fitting carries no security function, it does not fall under lock-licensing requirements, but finish carpenters and residential door hardware installers should verify door thickness compatibility prior to install.
