Kwikset 788HFLSQT-26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a half dummy lever and does the Kwikset 788HFL Halifax actually latch the door?
No latch and no bolt. The 788HFL Halifax half dummy is a fixed lever on a square rose that mounts to one face of the door only, and it does not turn. It's a pull and a push point, nothing more, so the door has to be held shut by something else: a ball catch, a roller catch, magnetic catch, or a flush bolt on the inactive leaf. If you need the door to stay closed on its own with a latchbolt, you want a passage lever instead.
2) Do I need one or two Kwikset 788HFL Halifax dummy levers for a pair of French doors?
Two. The Halifax half dummy is a one-sided trim, so a pair of French doors takes two of them, one per leaf, and a single door you want levers on both faces takes two as well. Order the same finish for both. If you only want one lever showing on a closet or pantry door, one is enough.
3) Is the Kwikset Halifax dummy lever handed, or does it work on a left and right hand door?
It's reversible, so the same part goes on a left hand or right hand door with no separate order code. That matters when you're buying several for a job: one SKU covers every opening regardless of swing, unlike hand-specific dummy levers such as the Baldwin Estate 5103, which is sold as a distinct left hand and right hand half dummy.
4) My door already has a 2-1/8 inch bore from an old knob. Can I put a Halifax dummy lever there?
Yes, that's the normal case. The Halifax half dummy mounts to standard door preps and needs only basic tools, so an existing cylindrical bore is fine. Because a dummy has no chassis running through the door and no latch, the old edge bore just gets left empty or plugged, and the square rose covers the face bore. Bear in mind the door will no longer hold itself shut once the latch comes out.
5) Is the Kwikset 788HFL Halifax dummy lever suitable for a commercial building or an office corridor?
It's a residential lever, so use it in homes and light commercial spaces, not on a corridor or a door under real traffic. For a commercial dummy that has to survive a public building, look at the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim, a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed dummy, or the BEST 7KC Series 1DT for a Grade 2 medium duty version. The Accentra 455LN Augusta is another Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever.
6) What else do I need to order with a dummy lever so the French door actually stays closed?
A catch of some kind, because the lever supplies none. On French doors the usual arrangement is flush bolts top and bottom on the inactive leaf plus a ball or roller catch on the active leaf, with the Halifax dummy giving you something to pull on. On a pantry or closet door a single ball catch or magnetic catch does it. None of that hardware comes with the dummy lever, so it goes on the order separately.
7) What is the closest half dummy lever to the Kwikset 788HFL Halifax if I need a right hand and left hand specific pair?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is supplied as handed parts: the 5103 left hand half dummy lever with 5048 rose and the 5103 right hand half dummy lever with 5048 rose are ordered separately by hand. The Kwikset 788HFL Halifax half dummy is reversible, so one part covers a left- or right-handed door. If your specification calls out hand on the order line, the Baldwin 5103 pair gives you a distinct part number for each side; if you want one part number for every opening on the job, the reversible 788HFL does it.
8) I need a dummy lever on both sides of a French door - what should I order instead of a half dummy?
A half dummy such as the Kwikset 788HFL Halifax is a non-turning pull for one side of the door. When both leaves or both faces need a lever, a dummy pair is the part to order: Emtek offers the Arts and Crafts lever dummy pair and the Hammered lever dummy pair in its Arts and Crafts leversets, and the Classic Brass Cortina lever dummy pair. All three are dummy function and ship as a pair rather than a single side.
9) The door needs to latch closed - what should I use in place of a half dummy lever?
A half dummy like the Kwikset 788HFL Halifax has no latch at all, so if the door must stay shut on its own you need a passage function leverset. The Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical passage lever with a non-handed design, the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever with the Withnell design fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 passage/closet cylindrical lever in the 5300 Series. All three latch and release without keying, which the 788HFL, being non-keyed dummy trim, does not do.
10) Does a passage lever work as a substitute for a half dummy lever?
Not on the same prep. A passage lever such as the Design Hardware X75 flat lever, a Grade 1 passage lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors, or the Arrow GL01 Sierra lever, a Grade 2 non-keyed passage lock for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, includes a latchbolt and needs a bored edge and a strike in the frame. The Kwikset 788HFL Halifax half dummy is a non-turning pull with no latch, so it mounts without any edge bore or strike. Choose by whether the frame is prepped for a strike, not by trim appearance.
11) I need a fire rated passage lever on a door next to one carrying a Halifax half dummy - what works?
The Kwikset 788HFL Halifax half dummy is a residential trim. Where the neighbouring opening is a rated door, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with a fire rating and non-handed levers, covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet cylindrical lever with a fire rating for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors in the CL3100 Series.
12) I want the Halifax lever on my French doors to match the rest of the house. What finishes does it come in?
Six: Venetian Bronze, Satin Nickel, Bright Chrome, Satin Chrome, Satin Brass and Matte Black. Those are the standard Kwikset finish designations, so a Halifax dummy in Satin Nickel will read the same as Satin Nickel entry and passage hardware elsewhere in the house. If you're standardizing a whole floor, pick the finish once and carry it across the passage, privacy and dummy functions.
13) Can the Halifax half dummy be keyed or locked?
Neither. It's non-keyed, and with no latch and no turn there is nothing to lock. Closet, pantry and French door leaves are where it belongs. If the door needs to lock, step over to a keyed lever like the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever or the Hager 2525 commercial entry lock, and if it just needs to stay shut without locking, a passage lever such as the Accentra 5301LN Augusta covers it.
14) What's the difference between a half dummy and a full or pair dummy lever?
A half dummy is one lever for one face of the door, which is what the 788HFL Halifax is. A dummy pair, like the Emtek Arts and Crafts or Cortina dummy pairs, ships two levers for both faces of a single door. Working out which you need is simple: count the faces that need a lever on them. An inactive French door leaf usually needs one per side you can see, so two halves; a closet door you only ever pull from the hallway needs one.
15) Will the square rose on the Halifax lever match round rose hardware already on my other doors?
It won't. The Halifax square rose backplate is a contemporary square trim, and set beside a round rose it reads as a different family. If the rest of the doors are round, either carry the square through the whole run or choose round trim throughout. Round trim passage levers in the same light residential class include the Bravura Miramar, Atlanta and Orlando; Bravura's Tampa uses square trim if you're going the other way.
16) What is a medium duty Grade 2 alternative to the Kwikset 788HFL Halifax half dummy?
The BEST 7KC Series 1DT single dummy trim cylindrical lever lock is Grade 2, non-keyed and medium duty, and the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever in the Bentley series. Both are dummy function like the Kwikset 788HFL Halifax, meaning a fixed pull with no latch, so they suit the same French, pantry and closet door applications where the door is held by a catch rather than a latchbolt.
17) What matches the square rose look of the Kwikset 788HFL Halifax if I need a working lever on the adjacent doors?
The Kwikset 788HFL Halifax half dummy uses a square rose backplate in a contemporary style. The Bravura Tampa passage leverset is a Grade 2 lever with square trim, so it carries the square rose shape onto doors that need to latch. If round trim suits the rest of the opening, the Bravura Atlanta, Orlando, and Miramar passage leversets are Grade 2 with round trim, the Miramar listed in US4 satin brass.
18) What is the difference between the Kwikset 788HFL Halifax half dummy and the Baldwin 5103 passage lever?
They share the lever-and-rose appearance but do different jobs. The Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with 5048 rose is passage function, turning to retract a latch. The Kwikset 788HFL Halifax is a non-keyed half dummy that does not turn and does not latch, mounted on one side of a door held by a catch. Baldwin also builds the 5103 in dummy function as handed left and right hand half dummies if you want the 5048 rose look on a non-latching door.
19) Is there a Grade 3 lever I can pair with a Halifax half dummy on a light residential job?
For the latching doors on a residential job, the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset offered in satin nickel, which is one of the finishes the Kwikset 788HFL Halifax half dummy is built in alongside venetian bronze, bright chrome, satin chrome, satin brass and matte black. The Asheville latches; the 788HFL is a fixed pull for the doors that do not.
