Kwikset 788A-26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Kwikset 788A Abbey half dummy knob actually turn or latch?
No. The 788A Abbey is a half dummy, meaning a single non-turning knob for one side of the door only. There is no latch, no spindle action, and no locking. It is there purely as a pull, typically on a closet door, a false door, or the inactive leaf of a pair. If you need the knob to retract a latch, you want a passage function instead, such as the Kwikset 720A Abbey passage knobset in the same Abbey trim.
2) Is a dummy knob pair the same as the Kwikset 788A Abbey?
No. The 788A Abbey is a half dummy, a single surface-mounted non-turning knob for one side of the door. Pair dummy sets cover both faces and are sold two knobs to the set, such as the Emtek Arts and Crafts Hammered Egg dummy pair and the Emtek Classic Brass Crystal Georgetown dummy pair. If you need both faces of a French or closet door trimmed, one 788A will only do one side.
3) What is the closest equivalent to the Kwikset 788A Abbey half dummy knob from another brand?
The Schlage A170 single dummy trim is the nearest match: a Grade 2 cylindrical non-keyed knob in dummy function, like the 788A Abbey, which is also Grade 2 with a dummy lock function and no keying. The A170 lists a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch and is described as heavy duty, while the 788A covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. BEST 6K Series single dummy trim is another Grade 2 non-keyed dummy knob, catalogued as medium duty.
4) The opening is a commercial corridor door. Should I use the Kwikset 788A Abbey or something heavier?
The 788A Abbey is catalogued for residential use at ANSI/BHMA Grade 2. For heavier commercial traffic, Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed passage knob, Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset with an interchangeable core and a 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, and Corbin Russwin CK4310 is a Grade 1 passage/closet knob for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Those are latching passage knobs rather than dummy trim.
5) Do I need to worry about handing when ordering the Abbey 788A dummy knob?
No handing to specify. The Abbey 788A is reversible and works on right hand and left hand doors alike, so one part number covers every opening in the building.
6) Is the Kwikset 788A dummy knob rated for commercial use?
It is an ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 residential product. Grade 2 is fine for apartments, multi-family interiors, and light commercial back-of-house, but for institutional traffic on a dummy application the Schlage A170 single dummy trim is a Grade 2 heavy duty option, and BEST 6K Series single dummy trim is another Grade 2 cylindrical dummy.
7) Can I mount the 788A dummy knob anywhere on the door, or does it need the standard 2-1/8 inch bore?
It is surface mounted, so it fastens to the door face rather than needing a latch to be driven into the edge. That lets you place it where the pull makes sense on a closet or false door, including over a plugged old prep. Kwikset does spec the Abbey platform for an adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, so if you are mounting it in line with existing hardware on other doors, set it to whatever backset the rest of the openings use.
8) Is a half dummy the same as a dummy pair, and which do I need for double closet doors?
Not the same. The 788A Abbey is a half dummy, one knob for one side of the door. On a pair of closet doors you need one 788A per leaf, or two on a single door if you want a knob on both faces. Products sold as a dummy pair, like the Emtek Georgetown or Providence crystal dummy sets, already include two knobs in the box.
9) What other single dummy knobs are there if I want a solid brass look instead of the Kwikset 788A Abbey?
The 788A Abbey is a traditional-style residential knob offered in polished brass and satin chrome. For solid brass single dummy alternatives, Omnia 434/0 is a traditional egg-shaped single dummy interior lockset in solid brass, Omnia 442/00 is a traditional single dummy knob latchset with a 2-5/8 inch rose, and Omnia 458/0 is a traditional single dummy knob latchset in solid brass.
10) Is there a Grade 2 dummy knob with a different style rose than the Kwikset 788A Abbey?
Yes. Bravura Biloxi is a Grade 2 dummy knobset with round trim, and Cal-Royal BA40 is a dummy knob cylindrical lock in the Barrington BA series rated for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness range the 788A Abbey covers. The 788A itself is Grade 2 dummy function with a 2-1/4 inch full lip round corner strike in the set.
11) If the bedroom or bath door needs a lock, what replaces the Kwikset 788A Abbey?
The 788A Abbey is non-keyed dummy trim with no locking at all. For privacy function, Dexter C2000 Series privacy is a Grade 2 non-keyed privacy ball knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob lock with brass trim over the same range, and Pamex FTF Baron is a Grade 3 privacy knob lockset, also 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.
12) Can I use a knob-only exit device trim in place of the Kwikset 788A Abbey dummy knob?
No. Sargent 78-2875 is an outside knob only for the 7800 Series, Sargent 28C-KNOB is exit device trim with knob and rose in entrance function for 1-3/4 inch doors, and Imperial USA ED-BKL580 is storeroom-function knob trim for the ED-500 series. Those mount to an exit device chassis. The 788A Abbey is a surface-mounted half dummy knob for a plain interior door with no operation.
13) What is the Microban feature on the Kwikset Abbey knob?
The Abbey carries Microban antimicrobial protection built into the finish, which inhibits the growth of bacteria on the knob surface. Property managers in healthcare, senior housing, and hospitality often ask for it on high-touch trim.
14) What tools and prep do I need to install the Kwikset 788A Abbey dummy knob?
A screwdriver is all it takes. Because it is surface mounted with no latch to bore for and no strike to mortise, installation runs a couple of minutes per door, which is why it is the usual choice when a maintenance crew is refreshing a run of closet doors.
