Kwikset 488AO-15 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I need to worry about handing or door thickness with the 488AO Aliso dummy knob?
Handing is not a concern. The Aliso half dummy is reversible and universal handed, so the same part works on a left hand or right hand door. Kwikset lists the Aliso knobset platform for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, the normal range for residential interior doors. Because the dummy mounts to the door face rather than through a lock prep, it installs with a screwdriver in a few minutes.
2) I have a 2-1/8 inch bore already drilled. Can I use the Aliso dummy knob to cover it?
The 488AO Aliso is a surface mounted dummy, so it does not use the cross bore or the edge bore the way a working knobset does. Its rose covers the face of the door where you screw it on. If the opening already has a full lock prep and you want a knob that engages a latch, order one of the latching Aliso functions instead: the 200AO passage, 300AO privacy, or 400AO SmartKey keyed entry. Those use an adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset latch with a 2-1/4 inch full lip round corner strike.
3) Is the Kwikset Aliso dummy knob suitable for a commercial corridor or an apartment entry?
Kwikset classifies the Aliso as residential hardware, and a dummy knob has no locking or latching function at all, so it is not an entry solution. For commercial traffic in a dummy application, look at the Schlage A170 single dummy trim or the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim, both Grade 2 cylindrical dummy knobs. For an actual commercial entry, the BEST 8K Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty entrance knob lock.
4) What is a commercial-grade alternative to the Kwikset 488AO Aliso half dummy knob?
The Kwikset 488AO Aliso is a Grade 3 dummy knob built for residential interior doors. For a commercial specification, the Schlage A170 single dummy trim is a Grade 2 non-keyed cylindrical knob in the A Series, listed as heavy duty for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch thick. The BEST 6K Series 6K-1DT single dummy trim is another Grade 2 dummy knob, rated medium duty. Both perform the same non-turning pull function as the 488AO.
5) I need the door to latch shut, not just have a pull - what should I order instead of the 488AO Aliso?
The Kwikset 488AO Aliso is a dummy knob with no operation and no latch, so it will not hold a door closed. For a latching interior door, the Pamex FTF Grade 3 Baron knob lockset in passage function fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Dexter C2000 Series Grade 2 passage ball knob covers the same thickness range. The Arrow MK01 is a Grade 2 passage knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors as well.
6) Will the 488AO Aliso dummy match the other Aliso knobs in my house?
Yes, it is the same Aliso knob design and is built to sit alongside the 200AO passage, 300AO privacy, and 400AO SmartKey keyed entry knobs in the collection. The dummy is offered in 619 Satin Nickel, so match your other openings to that finish if you are standardizing a whole floor or unit.
7) Half dummy versus a dummy pair, which do I order for double doors?
The 488AO Aliso is a half (single) dummy, meaning one knob for one side of one door. A pair of french or closet doors that needs a pull on both faces takes two of them, or a dummy pair product such as the Emtek Arts and Crafts Hammered Egg dummy pair or the Emtek Classic Brass Crystal Georgetown dummy pair, which ship two knobs per set.
8) The 488AO Aliso only fits doors up to 1-3/4 inch - what dummy or knob option works on a thicker door?
The Kwikset 488AO Aliso is specified for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. For thicker slabs, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Deltana 6171 Round Knob entry covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
9) Is a Sargent 78-2875 outside knob or an Imperial ED-BKL580 knob trim a substitute for the Kwikset 488AO half dummy?
No. The 488AO Aliso is a surface-mounted half dummy knob for a standard interior door. The Sargent 78-2875 is an outside knob for the 7800 Series, and the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 is storeroom-function knob trim in the ED-500 Series - both are exit device trim components that mount to a device chassis, not standalone pulls for a plain door. The Sargent 28C-KNOB is likewise exit device trim in the 28 Series.
10) What keyed knob should I use on the entry door if I am using the Kwikset 488AO Aliso on the interior doors?
The 488AO Aliso is non-keyed and provides a pull only. For a keyed opening, the Cal-Royal BER00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office knob lock with a Kwikset keyway for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, which keeps you on the same keyway family. Other options are the Master Lock BC Series BC01 Grade 3 keyed entry biscuit knob and the Callan Canova Grade 3 entrance knobset.
11) Is there a heavier-duty dummy or non-latching knob for a high-traffic commercial corridor instead of the Kwikset 488AO?
The 488AO Aliso is a Grade 3 residential dummy knob. For heavier traffic, the Schlage A170 single dummy trim is Grade 2 and listed as heavy duty, and if the opening needs to latch, the Schlage D10S passage latch is a Grade 1 heavy duty orbit knob and the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset with interchangeable core.
12) I am outfitting a whole house and need knobs in bulk - what is an alternative to ordering Kwikset 488AO Aliso dummies one at a time?
The 488AO Aliso is sold as a single half dummy knob. For multi-door work, the Sure-Loc Bergen round knob is offered as a 6-pack with an adjustable backset, and the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.
13) How does the Kwikset 488AO Aliso compare to the Bravura Biloxi dummy knobset?
Both are single dummy knobs with a non-turning pull function. The Kwikset 488AO Aliso is Grade 3, traditional styling, and is reversible for right- or left-hand doors. The Bravura Biloxi dummy knobset is Grade 2 and uses round trim.
