Kwikset 788PSKRDT-514 Pismo Half Dummy Knob Matte Black

Product Description

The KWIKSET 788PSKRDT-514 is a half dummy knob featuring the Pismo style with a round rose, finished in matte black. A half dummy knob has no latch mechanism and no keying — it turns but does not operate a latch. This makes it the correct choice for single-side applications such as closet doors, pantry doors, and decorative passage doors where a pull or turn action is needed without a latching function. The matte black finish provides a clean, low-sheen appearance suited to modern and transitional interior design. Residential contractors, finish carpenters, and remodelers are the primary installers of this hardware.

This half dummy knob is used on interior doors in residential applications where no through-latch or locking function is required. Typical locations include bi-fold doors, single-door closets, pantry doors, and decorative cabinet-style doors. Because it is a half dummy, it mounts to one face of the door only and does not require a through-bore spindle connection to an opposing knob. It is sold as a single unit and is sized for standard residential interior door preparations.

Installation Notes

Half dummy knobs are installed by finish carpenters or residential contractors and require no through-bore spindle or latch bore — only a surface or shallow mounting hole matching the rose footprint. Power tools are not required; a screwdriver and appropriate mounting screws are typical. No door prep for a latch bore is needed, but verify the door thickness and rose fit before installation. Because this is a non-functional dummy fitting, it is not suitable for any door requiring positive latching or security.
