Kwikset 788MILRDT-514 Milan Lever Half Dummy Matte Black

Product Description

The KWIKSET 788MILRDT-514 is a Milan-style lever with a round rose trim, configured as a half dummy door handle in a Matte Black finish. Half dummy levers are non-latching, non-locking hardware used where a pull or push function is all that is needed. The lever operates without a spindle connection, making it a purely decorative and functional pull piece. At 0.7 pounds, this lightweight unit is straightforward to mount and is a common choice for closet doors, pantry doors, and other interior passages that do not require a latch mechanism. Installation requires no key cylinder or latch bore preparation beyond a standard surface mount.

This half dummy lever is suited for residential interior door applications where latching or locking is not required. Typical installations include double doors, closet bi-folds, pantry entries, and decorative passage doors. The Milan design features clean, contemporary lines and a round rose backplate that pairs well with transitional and modern interior styles. The Matte Black finish provides a consistent appearance that coordinates with a range of interior hardware suites. This unit ships as a single piece and is sold individually.

Installation Notes

Half dummy levers are installed by finish carpenters, general contractors, or knowledgeable homeowners and do not require a licensed locksmith. Power down any adjacent electronic hardware before working in close proximity to wiring. No latch bore or spindle drilling is required for a half dummy installation — confirm door prep before ordering. Follow local building codes and the manufacturer installation sheet for proper fastener placement and backset confirmation.
