Kwikset 788TNLLH-514 Tustin Lever Half Dummy Matte Black

Product Description

The KWIKSET 788TNLLH-514 is a left-hand half dummy lever in the Tustin style, finished in matte black. A half dummy lever is a non-latching, non-locking door handle used purely for pull function — no spindle connection, no latch bolt. It mounts to one side of a door and operates independently of any lock or latch mechanism. This type of hardware is standard on closet doors, pantry doors, and paired French doors where a passage or privacy function is not needed. Installation requires no locksmith or specialized trade license, but is commonly handled by finish carpenters and general contractors during interior trim-out.

The 788TNLLH-514 is intended for interior residential applications. Its left-hand designation means the lever is oriented for left-hand door swing installations. The Tustin style features a contemporary lever profile that coordinates with matching Kwikset Tustin knobs, deadbolts, and passage sets for a consistent look throughout a home. The matte black finish suits modern and transitional interior design schemes and is applied over the base hardware to provide a uniform, low-sheen appearance.

Installation Notes

Half dummy levers mount directly to the door face using machine screws into the rose plate — no door prep or bore is required beyond what the mounting hardware accommodates. Power tools are not needed; a screwdriver is typically sufficient. Confirm left-hand door swing orientation before mounting to ensure the lever arc clears the door frame correctly. No electrical, plumbing, or mechanical trade licensing is required for this hardware type.
