Kwikset 788KNL-26D Kingston Lever Half Dummy Satin Chrome

Product Description

The KWIKSET 788KNL-26D is a Kingston style lever handle configured as a half dummy, finished in satin chrome (26D). A half dummy lever installs on a single side of a door and does not operate a latch or lock mechanism — it functions purely as a pull handle. This makes it the correct choice for closet doors, bi-fold doors, and other non-latching applications where a matching lever appearance is needed. The 788KNL-26D is suited for light commercial environments and is installed by finish carpenters, general contractors, or facilities maintenance technicians. The satin chrome finish delivers a clean, low-sheen appearance consistent with commercial interior hardware standards.

This lever is appropriate for interior non-latching door applications in both residential and light commercial settings. Typical installations include closets, pantries, cabinet doors, and passage openings where no latch or lock function is required. The half dummy configuration means no bore preparation for a latch mechanism is necessary, simplifying installation in hollow-core and solid-core interior doors alike. The Kingston lever profile provides a straightforward, contemporary aesthetic that coordinates with a broad range of interior hardware finishes.

Installation Notes

Half dummy levers are installed by finish carpenters or general contractors and require no latch bore or chassis — only a rose or plate attachment to the door face. Power tools are not required; a screwdriver is typically sufficient. Verify door thickness compatibility before installation. No locksmith licensing is required for dummy hardware installation, but commercial applications should confirm compliance with applicable building and accessibility codes.
