Kwikset 788MILSQT-514 Milan Lever Half Dummy Lock Matte Black

Product Description

The KWIKSET 788MILSQT-514 is a half dummy door lever featuring the Milan lever design paired with a square rose backplate in a Matte Black finish. A half dummy lever has no latch mechanism and no keying — it functions as a pull handle only, making it the correct choice for non-latching doors such as closet doors, pantry doors, and wardrobe panels. The square rose gives it a clean, contemporary profile. Installation requires basic hand tools and no mortising. The unit ships as a single piece (sold individually) and weighs 0.2 pounds.

This half dummy lever is used on interior residential doors that do not require a latch or lock. Typical applications include bypass closet doors, bi-fold door pull points, pantry doors, and decorative cabinet-style doors where a lever handle improves grip and appearance without the need for a latching mechanism. The Matte Black finish suits modern, transitional, and industrial interior design schemes. It is typically installed by finish carpenters, trim contractors, or experienced DIYers during new construction or remodel work.

Installation Notes

Half dummy levers are installed by finish carpenters or general contractors and do not require a latch bore or crossbore — only the through-bolt holes for the rose mounting are needed. Power down any nearby low-voltage door sensors before drilling if retrofitting into an existing smart-home setup. Follow the template and hardware included with the unit for proper rose alignment. No keying, programming, or electrical connection is required for this product.
