Kwikset 788HFLRDT-514 Halifax Half Dummy Lever Matte Black

Product Description

The KWIKSET 788HFLRDT-514 is a Halifax-style half dummy lever with a round rose, finished in matte black. A dummy lever is a non-turning, non-latching door handle used purely for pull function — no latch, no lock mechanism. It mounts to one side of a door and is pulled to swing the door open. This hardware is standard on closets, pantries, French doors, and other interior doors where no latching action is needed. The matte black finish provides a consistent look for interior door applications. Installation requires basic hand tools and is handled by finish carpenters, general contractors, or experienced DIYers during new construction or remodel work.

This half dummy lever is suited for interior residential doors where a decorative handle is needed without a functioning latch or lock. Typical applications include single-door closets, bi-fold door pairs, and passage doors where latching hardware has already been installed on the opposing leaf. The Halifax design is a contemporary lever profile intended to coordinate with modern interior hardware collections.

Installation Notes

Half dummy levers are installed by finish carpenters or general contractors and require only basic hand tools — typically a screwdriver or drill driver. No door boring or latch prep is needed for a dummy function install. Power is not involved; no electrical shutoff is required. Confirm door thickness and backset clearance before mounting to ensure the rose plate seats flush against the door face.
