Kwikset 788HFLRDT-26D Halifax Half Dummy Lever Satin Chrome

Product Description

The KWIKSET 788HFLRDT-26D is a Halifax-style lever with a round rose, configured as a half dummy for non-latching door applications. It ships in a Satin Chrome (26D) finish. A half dummy lever is a fixed, non-turning handle used where no latch or lock mechanism is needed. It mounts to the face of a door and provides a grip point only. This hardware is typically installed by a finish carpenter, general contractor, or experienced DIYer during new construction or a remodel. The Satin Chrome finish offers a brushed, matte silver appearance suited to both transitional and contemporary interior settings.

Half dummy levers are used on doors that do not require latching, such as closet doors, bi-fold bypass panels, decorative passage doors, and wardrobe entries. The Halifax lever design features a straight, contemporary profile paired with a round rose backplate. This unit is sold as a single handle, so paired applications such as double doors or dummy sets on both sides of a door require ordering two units separately. It is intended for interior residential use.

Installation Notes

Half dummy levers are installed by finish carpenters or general contractors and do not require a latch bore in the door edge. Power tools are not required for surface mounting, though a drill and appropriate screws are typically used to secure the rose plate. No electrical shutoff or mechanical system isolation is needed prior to installation. Follow the manufacturer-included template and hardware for proper alignment and screw torque.
