Kwikset 968TDL-514 Trafford Lever Dummy Trim Matte Black

Product Description

The KWIKSET 968TDL-514 is an interior dummy handleset trim in the Trafford lever style, finished in matte black. Dummy trim is a non-functional door hardware component — it has no latch, lock, or rotating mechanism. It is used on inactive doors, closets, and paired French door applications where a pull handle is needed for aesthetics and convenience without a working latch. The 968TDL-514 pairs with a matching Kwikset exterior handleset to complete a coordinated door hardware installation. Installation is straightforward for a residential door hardware technician or experienced DIYer working with interior passage doors.

This trim is designed for residential interior door applications where a non-latching pull is required. Common install locations include inactive French doors, bi-fold conversions, closet doors, and decorative interior entries. The Trafford lever profile offers a traditional aesthetic that coordinates with other Kwikset Trafford series hardware. The matte black finish is suited to modern and transitional interior design schemes. Sold individually as a single trim unit.

Installation Notes

Dummy trim is typically installed by a residential door hardware technician or a qualified DIYer with basic hand tools. No door prep for a latch bore is required, as this is a non-latching unit. Ensure the door is stable and properly hung before mounting. Follow the included installation template and hardware manufacturer instructions for correct screw placement and trim alignment.
