Kwikset 788TNLLH-3 Tustin Lever Half Dummy Bright Brass

Product Description

The KWIKSET 788TNLLH-3 is a left-hand half dummy lever in the Tustin style, finished in Bright Brass. A half dummy lever is a non-latching, non-locking door lever used purely for pulling or pushing a door — no spindle connection, no latch bolt, no keying required. It mounts directly to the door face and is commonly used on closet doors, pantry doors, and other interior passages where a functioning latch is not needed. The Tustin lever profile offers a traditional curved shape suited to residential interior door applications. Installation requires only basic hand tools and no lock mechanisms or cylinders are involved.

This half dummy lever is intended for interior residential use. It is typically installed on single doors where a matching dummy on one side provides a complete pull point without any latching hardware. Common applications include reach-in closets, bi-fold bypass doors fitted with a single pull point, pantry doors, and decorative interior entries. The left-hand designation indicates the lever orientation for proper mounting alignment on the specified door handing.

Installation Notes

Half dummy levers are installed by a finish carpenter or general contractor using a screwdriver and, in some cases, a drill for pilot holes. No latch bore or strike plate is required. Power does not need to be shut off for this hardware type, but door hardware should be installed before final door painting or finishing to avoid surface damage. Verify door handing before mounting to ensure the lever arc swings in the correct direction relative to the door swing.
