Kwikset 788SOKTRCT-15 Sora Half Dummy Knob Satin Nickel

Product Description

The KWIKSET 788SOKTRCT-15 is a half dummy door knob featuring the Sora style with a traditional rectangular rose plate, finished in satin nickel. A half dummy knob is a non-functional, non-turning knob used purely for door pull purposes — it does not latch and contains no locking mechanism. This makes it the correct choice for closet doors, pantry doors, double door inactive leafs, and similar interior applications where passage hardware or locking hardware is not required. The satin nickel finish provides a brushed, low-reflectance appearance that coordinates with a wide range of interior hardware finishes. Installation requires basic hand tools and is typically performed by a finish carpenter, general contractor, or knowledgeable homeowner.

This half dummy knob is intended for interior residential door applications where a grip surface is needed but no latch or lock function is required. Common installations include bi-fold bypass doors, wardrobe closet doors, and the stationary panel of a double entry door set. The Sora design with traditional rectangular rose suits transitional and contemporary interior aesthetics. Sold as a single unit, it can be paired with a matching active-side knob or lever for double door setups where only one side operates.

Installation Notes

Half dummy knobs are installed by finish carpenters or general contractors using standard hand tools including a screwdriver. No latch bore or strike plate is required for dummy hardware. Power to any nearby door alarm or access control hardware should be disabled before beginning work. Follow the door hardware manufacturer installation template for proper rose plate alignment and fastener seating.
