Kwikset 788PSKSQT-514 Pismo Half Dummy Knob Matte Black

Product Description

The KWIKSET 788PSKSQT-514 is a Pismo-style half dummy knob with a square rose, finished in matte black. A half dummy knob has no locking mechanism and no through-spindle — it is a fixed, non-turning knob used purely for pull and aesthetic purposes. This hardware is installed on doors that do not require latching, such as closet doors, pantry doors, and double-door applications where only one side needs a trim piece. The matte black finish provides a clean, modern look. Weighing 0.6 pounds and measuring approximately 3.1 inches in length by 2.8 inches in width by 3 inches in height, it is a compact, straightforward trim component suited for residential interior installations.

This half dummy knob is intended for interior residential applications where door operation does not require a latch or lock function. Typical scenarios include single-sided closet doors, bi-fold door pulls, and the inactive panel of a double-door entry. It pairs well with active latch or deadbolt hardware on adjacent doors. The square rose plate provides a contemporary profile that suits modern and transitional interior design schemes. Installation requires no key cylinder, no chassis, and no latch bore — only the rose plate and knob assembly are mounted to the door face.

Installation Notes

Half dummy knobs are installed by finish carpenters, general contractors, or experienced DIYers on interior doors that require no latch bore. No door prep beyond a surface-mount screw pattern is typically needed, though some installations may require a shallow rose-plate bore. Ensure the door face is clean and flat before mounting. No electrical shutoff or mechanical lockout is required for this hardware type.
