Kwikset 488BRNLSQT-26 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does a half dummy lever actually do, and when would I use the Kwikset Breton half dummy?
A half dummy is a single lever with no latch and no moving mechanism. It mounts on one face of the door and serves as a pull only. The Kwikset Breton half dummy with square rose is for interior doors that push and pull rather than latch, closet and pantry doors, french door inactive leaves, and any opening where you want the lever look without the hardware operating.
2) Will the Kwikset Breton half dummy fit my existing 2-1/8 inch bored door, or does it need its own prep?
The Breton half dummy mounts to the door face with screws, and Kwikset states an adjustable backset of 2-3/8 inch to 2-3/4 inch so it suits standard door preparations. Installation takes a screwdriver and a few minutes. Since a dummy has no latch, it does not need a latch bore through the edge of the door, which makes it the easy choice on a slab that has never been bored.
3) I ordered a dummy but I actually need the door to latch shut. What should I get instead?
A dummy will never hold a door closed, so you need a passage or privacy function with a real latch. Grade 3 residential-level passage options include the Callan Asheville passage leverset in satin nickel. If you want a latching bath or bedroom lever, the Baldwin Estate 5103 is also offered in privacy function with the same 5048 rose, and in passage.
4) I need dummy levers on both leaves of a double door. Is the Kwikset Breton half dummy the right pick?
The Kwikset Breton is a half dummy, meaning one lever on one face. For an inactive double door where both faces need a lever, the Emtek Arts and Crafts lever dummy pair, the Emtek Hammered lever dummy pair, and the Emtek Cortina lever dummy pair from the Classic Brass line are supplied as dummy pairs. Ordering two Breton half dummies is the other way to cover both faces.
5) What is a heavy duty commercial alternative to the Kwikset Breton half dummy lever for a dummy opening in a high-traffic building?
For a commercial dummy opening, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim cylindrical lever lock is a Grade 1, heavy duty, non-keyed dummy trim, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy cylindrical lever lock in the 5400 Series. The Kwikset Breton half dummy lever is an ANSI/BHMA Grade 3 residential dummy for interior doors where a push/pull function is required, so the Grade 1 units are the ones to specify where the opening is rated for commercial duty cycles.
6) The Kwikset Breton half dummy does not latch. What should I order if the door actually needs to stay closed?
A dummy lever is push/pull only, so if the door needs a latch use a passage set instead. Options include the Accentra 5301LN Augusta Grade 2 passage/closet cylindrical lever, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the Falcon B101 Grade 2 medium duty non-handed passage lever, or the Falcon K101 Grade 1 heavy duty fire rated passage lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. For a bed or bath door that needs to lock from inside, the Hager 2540 Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with Withnell lever or the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose apply.
7) Will the Kwikset Breton half dummy work on a keyed entry or office door?
No. The Kwikset Breton is a dummy for interior doors where a push/pull function is required, with no cylinder and no latch. For a keyed opening, the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is Grade 2 with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/8 inch backset, the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 entry/office cylindrical lever, and the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. For a residential keyed entry, the Callan Artino and Callan Bennett entrance leversets are Grade 3.
8) Is there an equivalent to the Kwikset Breton half dummy for a door that needs vandal resistance or a fire rating?
The Kwikset Breton is a residential Grade 3 dummy and carries no such rating. Where the opening calls for it, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant cylindrical lever lock with a fire rating in the CL3100 Series, in passage/closet function, and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty fire rated passage lock in the K Series.
9) Does a half dummy lever come handed, and how does that compare to the Kwikset Breton?
Some half dummy levers are ordered by hand. The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy with 5048 rose is sold as a left hand version and a right hand version, so the hand of the door has to be confirmed before ordering. The Kwikset Breton half dummy with square rose is ordered by finish, in satin nickel, bright chrome, or matte black.
10) I want to match the square rose look of the Kwikset Breton on a door that needs a working latch. What matches?
The Bravura Tampa passage leverset is a Grade 2 passage set with square trim, so it carries a square rose like the Kwikset Breton half dummy while providing latching passage function. If round trim is acceptable instead, the Bravura Atlanta, Orlando, and Miramar passage leversets are Grade 2 with round trim.
11) My door is thicker than standard. Can I still use the Kwikset Breton half dummy, and what else fits thick doors?
The Kwikset Breton half dummy is a residential interior trim with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch to 2-3/4 inch backset for standard door preparations. Where a thicker leaf is involved, peers that publish wider ranges include the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock at 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Deltana 6201 Manchester lever entry at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 passage/closet lever at 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch.
12) Does the Kwikset Breton half dummy accept a keypad or electronic access, or do I need a different lever?
The Breton half dummy is a mechanical push/pull trim with no keypad or electrified option. For keyless entry on a lever, the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock, the Emtek Classic keypad leverset is a keypad unit, and the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock is passage function and ADA compliant for 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch doors. For electrified openings, the Corbin Russwin CL33903 is a Grade 1 fail safe lever at 12VAC/DC for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors.
13) Does the Kwikset Breton lever have any antimicrobial coating for a healthcare or senior living unit?
Yes. The Breton half dummy is treated with Microban antimicrobial product protection, which Kwikset states keeps the hardware 99.9 percent cleaner than unprotected surfaces. It is a residential-grade item though, so on a healthcare corridor you would still be specifying commercial trim.
