Kwikset 788HFLRCT-15 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does a half dummy lever like the Kwikset 788 Halifax actually do, and when should I use one instead of a passage lever?
A half dummy is a non-turning, one-sided pull. The Halifax lever with rectangular rose mounts to the door face on one side only, with no latch and no security function, so it is for openings that don't need to latch: closet or pantry doors held by a ball catch or roller catch, a fixed inactive leaf of a double door, or the pull side of a sliding or bi-fold. If the door needs to stay shut on a latch, you want a passage lever instead, not a dummy.
2) Do I have to order the Kwikset Halifax half dummy in a left hand or right hand version?
No handing to specify. The Halifax lever is fully reversible and installs on either a right or left hand door, so one part covers both. That matters on a half dummy in particular, because it mounts on one face only and you would otherwise be picking a hand per opening. Compare that to the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy, which is sold as a separate left hand (5103 LDM) and right hand (5103 RDM) part.
3) Will the Kwikset 788 Halifax work with the 2-3/8 inch bore prep already in my doors?
Yes, and with 2-3/4 inch prep too. The latch supplied with the Halifax set has an adjustable backset covering 2-3/8 inches to 2-3/4 inches, which is both of the standard residential door preps, so you don't have to measure every opening before you order. It also comes with two interchangeable faceplates, round corner and square corner, so it drops into either style of existing latch mortise.
4) I ordered a Kwikset half dummy and the door won't stay closed. Did I buy the wrong part?
Yes, for that job. A half dummy has no latching mechanism at all, it's a fixed pull. Something else has to hold the door: a ball catch, roller catch, or magnetic catch. If you need the lever itself to keep the door shut, you want a passage function lever, for example the Accentra 5301LN Augusta or the Falcon B101, both Grade 2 passage cylindrical levers.
5) I need a dummy lever on a commercial opening with heavy traffic - is the Kwikset Halifax the right choice?
The Kwikset Halifax half dummy is a residential lever carrying an ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certification. For a commercial corridor or an institutional building, two heavier dummy trims exist: the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim cylindrical lever is Grade 1 heavy duty, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta single dummy cylindrical lever in the 5400 Series is also Grade 1 heavy duty. Both are non-keyed dummy trim like the Halifax, so the function on the door is unchanged - the difference is the grade and duty level behind it.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Kwikset Halifax half dummy lever from another brand?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever with the 5048 rose is the nearest match in function - it is a dummy lever, the same non-turning one-sided trim used where no latch is needed. One difference matters at ordering time: the Kwikset Halifax half dummy is fully reversible and installs on right or left handed doors, while the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is handed and sold as a left hand version and a separate right hand version, so the door swing has to be determined before the order goes in.
7) The door actually latches - what do I order instead of a half dummy lever?
A half dummy is non-turning trim with no latch, so it will not hold a door closed. For a closet or hall door that needs a working latch with no lock, the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 cylindrical lever in passage/hall/closet function, and the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever with a non-handed design. If the door needs privacy, the Baldwin Estate 5103 is also built in a privacy version with the same 5048 rose as the Baldwin dummy, which keeps the trim consistent across a run of doors.
8) What finishes does the Kwikset Halifax rectangular rose half dummy come in?
Three: Satin Nickel, Polished Chrome, and Matte Black. If you're matching a whole unit or a floor of doors, those are the same finish families Kwikset carries across its residential lever line, so the dummy on the closet can match the passage and entry levers on the rest of the openings. The rose is rectangular, which is the detail to check against your other trim, plenty of Kwikset roses are round.
9) I need a matching pair of dummy levers for a double closet door. Can I use the Kwikset Halifax?
Order two. The 788 Halifax is a half dummy, one lever, one side of the door, so a pair of doors or a door you want a lever on both faces of takes two of them. If you would rather buy it as a single packaged pair, Emtek sells its Arts and Crafts and Cortina leversets as dummy pairs.
10) What's a Grade 2 alternative to the Kwikset Halifax dummy lever if I want a different look or a commercial line?
Within Grade 2 dummy trim, the BEST 7KC Series single dummy and the Callan Bentley dummy lever both cover the same non-turning function. If the opening is heavier traffic and you'd rather step up, the Accentra 455LN Augusta and the BEST 9K Series 1DT are Grade 1. All of those are dummy function like the Halifax, so none of them will latch a door either.
11) Does a dummy pair work in place of the Kwikset Halifax half dummy?
Not on a single-sided application. The Kwikset Halifax 788HFL is a half dummy - one non-turning lever for one face of the door. Emtek sells its dummy trim as pairs, including the Arts and Crafts lever dummy pair and the Classic Brass Cortina lever dummy pair, which are intended for double doors or a door needing trim on both faces. Ordering a pair for a single-face opening leaves a spare lever; ordering a half dummy for a double door leaves one face bare.
12) Is there another Grade 2 dummy lever if I want to stay at the same grade as the Kwikset Halifax?
Yes. The Kwikset Halifax half dummy is ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certified. At the same grade, the BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim cylindrical lever is a Grade 2 non-keyed medium duty dummy, and the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever in the Bentley series. All three put a fixed, non-turning lever on the door; the trim styling and rose shape are what separate them.
13) The opening needs to be keyed - can the Kwikset Halifax half dummy be keyed instead?
No. The Halifax 788HFL half dummy is a non-turning, one-sided lever intended for entryways and doors requiring no security function, and there is no cylinder in it. For a keyed residential entry lever, the Callan Artino is a Grade 3 entrance leverset and the Master Lock BC Series RL01 is a Grade 3 keyed entry lever in a return style. For a keyed commercial opening, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick.
14) Does the Kwikset Halifax lever have an antimicrobial coating?
It's built with Microban protection. For a property manager or a healthcare or hospitality buyer specifying touch surfaces, that's the differentiator against most residential lever trim, which carries no antimicrobial treatment at all. It applies to the lever surface itself, which on a dummy is the only part anyone touches.
15) What tools do I need to install a Kwikset Halifax half dummy, and how long does it take?
A screwdriver, and a few minutes per door. There's no cylinder, no keying, and no lock chassis to align on a half dummy, which is why turnover crews and maintenance staff can run a floor of closet doors quickly without a locksmith on site.
16) I have thick doors - which lever handles a wider door thickness range than the Kwikset Halifax?
The Halifax 788HFL half dummy is a residential lever with an adjustable backset of 2-3/8 inch to 2-3/4 inch. If the doors run heavier than standard residential stock, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness and is fire rated with non-handed levers, and the Dexter C1000 Series entry/office Grade 1 lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Note that both of those are working latch functions, not dummy trim.
17) I want a matte black dummy lever with a square rose - what else should I look at?
The Kwikset Halifax 788HFL half dummy pairs a rectangular rose with a Matte Black finish, alongside Satin Nickel and Polished Chrome. If square trim is the driver but a working latch is needed, the Bravura Tampa is a Grade 2 passage leverset with square trim. Round-rose alternatives in the same Bravura family include the Atlanta and the Orlando, both Grade 2 passage leversets.
18) Is a keypad leverset a substitute for the Kwikset Halifax half dummy?
No - they solve opposite problems. The Halifax 788HFL is non-turning trim for a door that needs no security function at all. A Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock is a code-entry passage lock for doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch thick and is ADA compliant, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. Those go on doors where access has to be controlled; the Halifax goes on the face that never operates.
