Kwikset 788KAL-514 Katella Lever Half Dummy Matte Black

Product Description

The KWIKSET 788KAL-514 is a Katella series half dummy lever in a Matte Black finish, designed for interior door applications where no latch or lock mechanism is required. A half dummy lever mounts to a single side of the door and provides a pull handle function only — no through-spindle, no latch engagement. It measures 7.4 inches in length, 3.5 inches in width, and 2.9 inches in height, and ships as a single unit weighing 1 pound. This hardware is typically installed by general contractors, finish carpenters, or skilled homeowners during interior door trim-out work.

Half dummy levers are used on closet doors, pantry doors, bi-fold door applications, and any interior passage where a non-latching pull handle is needed. The Katella lever style offers a contemporary profile suited to modern residential interiors. The Matte Black finish coordinates with popular fixture and hardware trends in residential construction and renovation projects. This part ships as a single lever unit (sold individually).

Installation Notes

Half dummy levers are installed by finish carpenters or general contractors during interior door trim-out. No latch boring or through-spindle drilling is required — the lever mounts directly to the door face using the provided hardware. Ensure the door surface is clean and flat before mounting. Follow the manufacturer's included template and fastener instructions for proper alignment.
