Kwikset 973SOK-514 Dummy Sora Knob Matte Black

Product Description

The KWIKSET 973SOK-514 is a dummy interior door knob featuring the Sora knob style paired with a traditional round rose trim in a Matte Black finish. Dummy knobs are non-functional, non-latching hardware used purely for pull and aesthetic purposes on doors that do not require a latch mechanism, such as closet doors, pantry doors, and french door applications. This knob installs on the non-active leaf of a door pair or any passage door where only a pull point is needed. The Matte Black finish provides a consistent, low-sheen appearance suited for modern and transitional interior design schemes. The unit ships as a single piece of hardware.

This dummy knob is intended for interior residential applications. Typical installations include bi-fold bypass doors, double french doors, and closet doors where no latch or lock function is required. The traditional round rose base keeps the profile clean and compatible with standard door prep. Installation requires no lock mechanism, spindle, or latch assembly. Each unit is sold individually.

Installation Notes

Dummy knobs are typically installed by finish carpenters or general contractors during interior door hardware installation. No latch bore preparation is required for the lock body, though the knob rose must be secured to the door face per the manufacturer instructions. Ensure the door is stable and properly hung before mounting. No power shutoff or specialized trade licensing is required for standard dummy knob installation.
