Kwikset 788TPLMDT-26 Tripoli Lever Half Dummy Bright Chrome

Product Description

The KWIKSET 788TPLMDT-26 is a half dummy lever combining the Tripoli lever style with a Midtown Rose in a Bright Chrome finish. Half dummy levers do not latch or lock — they function purely as a pull handle, making them the correct choice for doors that require no latch engagement, such as closet doors, pantry doors, and double-door applications where one side is stationary. Licensed residential door hardware installers and finish carpenters typically install this unit. At 0.4 pounds, the 788TPLMDT-26 is a lightweight single-piece trim that mounts directly to the door face without a through-bore spindle connection.

This half dummy lever is suited for interior residential applications where door operation is controlled by a push or pull rather than a rotating latch mechanism. Typical installations include bi-fold bypass closets, pantry pull doors, and the inactive leaf of a French door pair. The Bright Chrome finish coordinates with standard chrome-finish hinges and plumbing trim. The unit ships individually and is also available in case quantities of 20 for multi-door or new-construction projects.

Installation Notes

Half dummy levers are installed by finish carpenters or residential door hardware technicians and require no through-bore spindle or latch bore. Fasten the rose plate to the door face using the provided hardware, ensuring the door surface is clean and flat before mounting. No lock de-activation or electrical shut-off is required, but confirm the door edge does not require a latch bore modification before final installation.
