Kwikset 788PSKSQT-18G Pismo Knob Square Rose Half Dummy

Product Description

The KWIKSET 788PSKSQT-18G is a Pismo-style half dummy knob with a square rose, finished in Gunmetal. A half dummy knob is a non-functional, non-latching piece used purely for aesthetics and as a pull point on doors that do not require a latch or lock mechanism. It mounts to the door surface and operates without a spindle connection to a latch. The Gunmetal finish gives the hardware a dark, matte metallic appearance suited to modern and transitional interior design. This piece is typically installed by finish carpenters, general contractors, or experienced DIYers during interior door hardware trim-out. The unit ships as a single piece and weighs 0.8 pounds.

Half dummy knobs like the 788PSKSQT-18G are common in residential applications on closet doors, pantry doors, double-door setups, and any passage where a latch is not needed. The square rose plate gives a clean, angular backplate profile that pairs with contemporary interior door styles. Because it is a half dummy, it is typically used on one side of the door only, or paired with a matching half dummy on the opposite face. No through-bore spindle or latch prep is required beyond the standard rose mounting.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by finish carpenters, general contractors, or qualified DIYers. Power tools are not required — standard screwdrivers are sufficient for mounting. No latch bore or through-spindle is needed for a half dummy configuration. Confirm door thickness and rose plate seating before fastening to avoid surface damage to the door face.
