Kwikset 802TVHLIP-514 Tavaris Dummy Handleset Matte Black

Product Description

The KWIKSET 802TVHLIP-514 is a Tavaris series dummy exterior handleset finished in matte black. A dummy handleset has no latch, lock, or turn mechanism — it functions as a fixed pull handle only, typically mounted on the inactive leaf of a double-door entry or on a decorative single door where hardware appearance is required but no latching is needed. At 3.5 pounds and spanning 15.9 inches in length, this unit provides a substantial, finished look suited to residential entry applications. Installation is handled by a finish carpenter, door hardware installer, or general contractor working on new construction or door replacement projects.

This handleset is designed for exterior residential door applications where a decorative fixed handle is needed without an active latching mechanism. It is a common choice on the stationary panel of double-entry doors, French doors, or decorative front doors paired with a separate active latch and deadbolt set mounted on the operating door. The matte black finish coordinates with a wide range of contemporary and transitional architectural styles.

Installation Notes

Dummy handlesets are installed by a finish carpenter or door hardware specialist and require no electrical, keying, or latching components. Before installation, confirm the door prep and backset match the hardware plate dimensions. No lock cylinder, latch bore alignment, or strike plate work is required for a dummy application. Follow the fastener pattern provided in the product instructions and ensure the door surface is clean and properly finished before mounting.
