Kwikset 819SCELIP-11P Dummy Exterior Handleset

Product Description

The KWIKSET 819SCELIP-11P is a dummy exterior handleset finished in Venetian Bronze, designed for doors that require the appearance of a functional handleset without a latch or lock mechanism. This is a non-turning, non-latching decorative unit — it mounts to the door surface and provides a grip point for pulling the door, making it appropriate for paired entry doors, French doors, or any application where the active latch hardware is handled separately. The San Clemente style offers a traditional aesthetic suited to residential entry applications. Installation is straightforward and does not require a locksmith, though it is commonly specified alongside a separate deadbolt or active latch set.

This dummy handleset is intended for residential exterior door applications where a decorative grip is needed on a passive or stationary door panel. It is commonly paired with an active handleset on double-door or French door configurations. The Venetian Bronze finish coordinates with a wide range of exterior hardware finishes in traditional and transitional residential design schemes. The unit ships as a single piece and is sold individually.

Installation Notes

Dummy handlesets are installed by finish carpenters, general contractors, or knowledgeable homeowners and do not require a licensed locksmith. Confirm door thickness and backset dimensions before mounting. Follow the manufacturer's included template for screw placement to ensure proper alignment. No latch bore is required, but the mounting surface must be solid and free of damage to hold fasteners securely.
