Kwikset 968PHL-514 Perth Lever Dummy Trim Matte Black

Product Description

The KWIKSET 968PHL-514 is an interior dummy handleset trim in a Matte Black finish, designed for the Perth lever style. Dummy trim is a non-functional, fixed lever used on doors that require a pull handle without a latching or locking mechanism — common on closet doors, French doors, and single-side applications. The unit is sold as a single piece and installs without a spindle or latch, making it a purely decorative and ergonomic pull. At 1 pound, it is lightweight and straightforward to mount. This trim is installed by finish carpenters, general contractors, or skilled DIYers during new construction or remodel work.

This dummy trim is suited for residential interior door applications where a matching lever handle is needed on a non-latching door. Typical installations include double French doors, bypass closet doors, and pantry doors where one side requires a fixed pull. The Perth lever style provides a contemporary profile that coordinates with other Perth-series hardware throughout a home. The Matte Black finish is suited for modern and transitional interior design schemes.

Installation Notes

Installation of dummy trim is typically performed by finish carpenters or general contractors and does not require a licensed trade. Power down any nearby low-voltage door sensors or alarm contacts before working on the door assembly. Dummy trim mounts directly to the door face using the included hardware and does not require boring a latch hole. Follow the manufacturer installation template to ensure proper lever height and alignment with any paired trim on the opposite face.
