Kwikset 788TPLMDT-514 Tripoli Half Dummy Lever Matte Black

Product Description

The KWIKSET 788TPLMDT-514 is a half dummy lever handle designed for non-latching interior door applications where no lock or latch mechanism is required. Featuring the Tripoli lever style paired with the Midtown Rose trim, this unit ships in a Matte Black finish. Weighing 0.6 pounds, it is a single-unit, non-operational door handle intended for surfaces such as closet doors, pantry doors, or decorative passage doors where a pull point is needed without any mechanical latching function. Installation is straightforward and does not require boring or mortising beyond the mounting hardware provided.

Half dummy levers are commonly used on single-sided closet doors, wardrobe doors, and non-latching interior applications in residential settings. The Tripoli lever and Midtown Rose escutcheon combination provides a coordinated look when paired with matching Kwikset Tripoli series hardware elsewhere in the home. This unit is sold individually as a single assembly. It is suited for interior finish carpentry and door hardware installation in new construction and remodel projects.

Installation Notes

Half dummy levers are typically installed by finish carpenters or door hardware technicians on interior doors that do not require a latching mechanism. No lock bore preparation is required for dummy function hardware, though the mounting surface should be solid and free of damage. Follow the fastener and backset instructions included with the unit. No special tools beyond a screwdriver are generally required for standard dummy lever installation.
