Kwikset 788MILSQT-26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to pick a hand for the Kwikset 788 Milan half dummy lever?
Yes, handing is a required choice: right hand or left hand. A half dummy lever mounts on one face only and the lever has to point toward the hinge side when the door is closed, so you cannot flip it in the field the way you can with a non-handed passage lever. Stand outside the door, on the side the lever will be mounted; if the hinges are on your left it is left hand, hinges on your right is right hand. Order one per leaf, so a French door pair takes two, usually one of each hand.
2) I need a matching working lever on the other doors in the room. What matches the Milan half dummy?
Match on the collection, not the model number. The half dummy is part of the Kwikset Milan collection with a square rose, so the passage, privacy and keyed Milan levers with the same square rose give you an identical look down a hallway. Keep the finish consistent too: this dummy comes in Venetian Bronze, Satin Nickel, Bright Chrome, Satin Chrome and Matte Black, which is the range you have to match across the other openings.
3) Does the Milan half dummy need a bored 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset door prep?
Backset does not come into it. A half dummy has no latch and no backset dimension; it fastens to the door face and needs only mounting holes, not a full cylindrical prep with an edge bore. That is why it goes on in a few minutes with a screwdriver. If you are looking at a door already prepped 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch for a working lock and want to fill it with matching trim, a full dummy or a passage lever is the part that lines up with that prep.
4) I need a dummy lever for a commercial corridor door, not a residential interior door. What should I use instead of the Milan 788MIL?
The Milan 788MIL is a residential lever. For commercial openings, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed dummy, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta from the 5400 Series is also a Grade 1 dummy cylindrical lever. If the traffic is lighter, the BEST 7KC Series 1DT single dummy trim is a Grade 2 medium duty version of the same trim. All three mount as dummy trim on one side of the door, the same job the Milan does.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Kwikset 788MIL Milan half dummy lever from another brand?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever with 5048 rose is the nearest match in intent: like the Milan 788MIL, it is a non-turning dummy lever supplied for a single side of the door, and Baldwin splits it by handing the same way the Milan does, with BAL-5103-LDM for left hand and BAL-5103-RDM for right hand. The Milan pairs its lever with a square rose, while the Baldwin 5103 uses the round 5048 rose, so the two read differently on the door face even though the function is the same.
6) The door actually latches, so a half dummy will not work. What replaces the Milan 788MIL when I need a working latch?
A half dummy such as the Milan 788MIL is non-turning and is used where a push/pull function is required, so it has no latch to catch the frame. For a latching interior door with no lock, a passage lever is the substitution: the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever uses the same 5048 rose family as the Baldwin dummy version, and the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 passage/hall/closet cylindrical lever. For a bedroom or bath that needs a thumbturn, the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever covers the privacy/bed/bath function.
7) I need dummy levers on both sides of a double door. Is the Milan 788MIL the right part?
No. The Milan 788MIL is a half dummy, meaning one lever for one face of the door, which is why it is ordered left hand or right hand. For two faces you would need two of them, one in each handing. If you want the pair supplied together, Emtek sells dummy leversets as pairs: the Arts and Crafts lever dummy pair and the Hammered lever dummy pair, both in the Emtek Arts and Crafts range, and the Cortina lever dummy pair from the Emtek Classic Brass leversets.
8) My spec calls for a fire rated opening. Can I use the Kwikset Milan 788MIL half dummy there?
The Milan 788MIL is a residential lever and the fire rated peers in the same lever family are commercial locksets. The Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock with a fire rating and a 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet lever, fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. For a labeled opening, specify one of those rather than a residential half dummy.
9) I need dummy levers for both sides of a French door pair. Is the Kwikset Milan half dummy sold as a pair?
Half dummy means one lever, one side. For a pair of French doors where both leaves get a pull, buy two and specify the correct hand for each. If you would rather order a matched dummy pair in one box, the Emtek Arts and Crafts and Hammered dummy levers ship as pairs, as does the Emtek Cortina lever in the Classic brass line.
10) I want a handed half dummy lever but in a heavier residential or decorative line than Kwikset Milan. What else is there?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy with the 5048 rose is the closest alternative that is also sold hand-specific, in separate left hand and right hand versions, so you order per leaf exactly as you would with the Milan. Baldwin Estate also offers the same 5103 lever on the 5048 rose in passage and privacy, which is how you keep one lever design running across a room where some doors have to latch and some do not.
11) Which finishes does the Milan square rose lever come in for matching existing bronze or black hardware?
Five: Venetian Bronze, Satin Nickel, Bright Chrome, Satin Chrome and Matte Black. Two points worth watching if you are matching a fleet. Satin Chrome and Satin Nickel read differently in daylight, chrome cooler and nickel warmer, so pull a sample against the existing lever rather than going by name. And the rose here is square, so it will not sit flush over the shadow ring left by a round rose on a repainted door.
12) Can I swap a Kwikset Milan half dummy onto a door that currently has a working passage lever?
You can, but you will be left with an open edge bore and a latch mortise in the door and an empty strike in the frame, because the dummy has no latch to fill them. That is fine on a closet door you are converting to a magnetic or ball catch, and it looks wrong if the prep stays exposed. Going the other way, a door that only has face-mounted dummy holes cannot take a passage lever without being bored for the latch.
13) What is the difference between the Kwikset Milan 788MIL dummy and the Callan Bentley dummy lever?
Both are dummy levers, so both are non-turning trim rather than a latching lockset. The Callan Bentley BN5051 is a Grade 2 dummy lever in the Bentley series. The Kwikset Milan 788MIL is a residential lever from the Milan collection, carries Microban antimicrobial protection, and meets ADA/ANSI A117.1 requirements. The Milan is offered in Venetian Bronze, Satin Nickel, Bright Chrome, Satin Chrome and Matte Black.
14) Which levers look like the Milan 788MIL half dummy but are not a substitute for it?
Keyed and keypad leversets share the lever look but do a different job. The Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. Each of these controls access; the Milan 788MIL is a non-turning half dummy used where a push/pull function is required and secures nothing. Substituting one for the other changes the function of the opening.
15) I want a square rose lever to match the Milan 788MIL on the doors that need to latch. What are my options?
The Milan 788MIL uses a square rose. For a latching door in a similar squared trim, the Bravura Tampa BV333702 is a Grade 2 passage leverset with square trim. If a round rose is acceptable on those doors, Bravura also offers the Atlanta BV333002, the Orlando BV333602 and the Miramar 940-106 as Grade 2 passage leversets with round trim.
16) What is Microban on a Kwikset door lever and does it change how I clean it?
Microban antimicrobial protection is built into the Milan lever's finish, and Kwikset states it keeps the hardware 99.9 percent cleaner than unprotected surfaces. It is a property of the surface, not a coating you maintain, so your normal cleaning routine does not change. Property managers in healthcare-adjacent or multi-family settings usually specify it for that reason.
