Kwikset 973SOKTRCT-514 Dummy Sora Knob Matte Black

Product Description

The KWIKSET 973SOKTRCT-514 is a dummy interior door knob featuring the Sora knob style paired with a traditional rectangular rose trim in a Matte Black finish. Dummy knobs are non-latching, non-turning hardware used strictly for pull or decorative purposes — no latch mechanism, no lock function. This trim is designed for single-side or closet door applications where passage hardware is not required. The unit ships as a single piece and is typically installed by finish carpenters, general contractors, or experienced DIYers during new construction or renovation work. At 1.4 pounds, the hardware is solid enough to provide a quality feel without adding significant door load.

This dummy knob is suited for residential interior applications including closet doors, double doors requiring a stationary pull side, and any door opening where a non-functional decorative knob is the appropriate hardware solution. The Matte Black finish provides a consistent aesthetic compatible with modern and transitional interior design schemes. The traditional rectangular rose measures 8.5 inches in length and 3.6 inches in width, making it a substantial trim plate suited to standard residential door prep.

Installation Notes

Dummy knobs are installed by finish carpenters or general contractors and require no door prep for a latch bore — only a knob-hole bore and rose mounting points are needed. Ensure the door face is clean and flat before mounting the rose plate to achieve full surface contact. No electrical shutoff or mechanical isolation is required for this hardware type. Follow the manufacturer-supplied template and fastener torque guidance included in the packaging to avoid over-driving screws into the door face.
