Kwikset 788MILSQT-15 Milan Lever Half Dummy Lock Satin Nickel

Product Description

The KWIKSET 788MILSQT-15 is a half dummy door lever featuring the Milan lever style paired with a square rose backplate in a Satin Nickel finish. Half dummy hardware has no latch mechanism and no keying — it functions as a pull handle only, making it the correct choice for applications where a door does not need to latch or lock. The lever mounts to one side of the door face, typically on closets, pantries, bi-fold doors, or decorative passage doors where a matching lever appearance is needed without mechanical function. Locksmiths, finish carpenters, and general contractors commonly install this type of hardware during new construction or remodel work.

This half dummy lever is suited for interior residential applications where aesthetic continuity matters but a functioning latch or lock is not required. Common install locations include closet doors, laundry room doors, and double-door setups where one inactive leaf needs a matching pull. The square rose design offers a clean, contemporary profile that coordinates with modern interior trim packages. Sold as a single unit.

Installation Notes

Half dummy levers are installed by finish carpenters, locksmiths, or general contractors and require no key or latch preparation in the door edge. Ensure the door face bore matches the hardware rose diameter before mounting. No electrical shutoff is required. Follow the manufacturer-supplied template and fastener instructions — do not over-tighten mounting screws, as this can crack the rose plate or distort lever alignment.
