Kwikset 788SOKTRCT-514 Sora Half Dummy Knob Matte Black

Product Description

The KWIKSET 788SOKTRCT-514 is a Sora half dummy knob with a traditional rectangular rose, finished in matte black. A dummy knob is a non-functional, non-latching trim piece used on doors that do not require a latch or lock mechanism. It turns freely and serves as a pull handle only. This hardware is a single-side (half dummy) unit, making it appropriate for one-sided applications such as closet doors, pantry doors, and similar interior passages. Installation is straightforward and suited to general contractors, finish carpenters, and experienced DIYers working on interior door hardware.

This half dummy knob is designed for interior residential applications where door operation requires a pull handle without a latching function. Common install locations include closet doors, bi-fold bypass panels where only one side receives hardware, and decorative interior doors. The traditional rectangular rose offers a clean, transitional aesthetic that pairs well with a range of interior door styles. The matte black finish provides a consistent look when coordinated with other matte black door hardware throughout a space.

Installation Notes

Half dummy knobs are installed by a finish carpenter or general contractor and require no latch bore preparation beyond a surface-mount screw attachment. Power tools are not required; a hand screwdriver is typically sufficient. Because this is a non-latching trim piece, no door prep for a latch bolt is needed. Confirm door thickness and backset requirements are met before installation.
