Kwikset CP788J-3 Juno Half Dummy Knob Bright Brass

Product Description

The KWIKSET CP788J-3 is a half dummy knob in the Juno style, finished in Bright Brass. A half dummy knob is a non-locking, non-latching door hardware component used purely for pulling or pushing a door. It installs on a single side of the door and requires no through-bore spindle connection. This piece is designed for interior residential applications where passage function is not needed — closets, pantries, double doors, and inactive door leaves are the most common uses. Installation is straightforward and typically handled by a finish carpenter, general contractor, or experienced DIYer. The Bright Brass finish provides a warm, traditional aesthetic.

This half dummy knob fits standard residential interior doors and is typically mounted on the non-active leaf of a double door set or on a closet door where a full knob-and-latch assembly is not required. It ships as a single unit (sold individually) and is suited for light-duty residential use. No latch bore is required, making it a clean install on pre-hung doors or retrofit situations where the existing latch bore is being eliminated.

Installation Notes

A half dummy knob is installed by a finish carpenter or general contractor using standard hand tools — typically a screwdriver or drill driver. No latch bore preparation is needed, but a mounting hole or surface plate is required per the hardware template. Power to any adjacent electronic hardware should be disconnected before beginning work on the door assembly. Do not force the knob trim against the door face without confirming the mounting plate is flush, as this can cause finish damage.
