Kwikset 788PSKSQT-514 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Kwikset Pismo half dummy knob actually turn, or is it fixed?
It doesn't turn. The Pismo half dummy is a fixed pull with no latch and no operating mechanism, meant for doors where you only need something to grab: closet doors, false or inactive leaves of a pair, pantry doors held shut by a roller or ball catch. If you need the knob to retract a latch, you want a passage function instead.
2) The door actually needs to latch - what should I order instead of a half dummy knob?
A dummy knob such as the Kwikset Pismo has no operation at all; it is for doors where only a pull is required. If the door needs to latch shut, order a passage function knob instead. The Dexter C2000 Series passage cylindrical ball knob is Grade 2, non-keyed, and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Corbin Russwin CK4410 passage/closet cylindrical lock is a Grade 2 Global knob option for the same door thickness range, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is the Grade 1 version of that passage function.
3) I need a dummy knob for a closet door but the rest of the building is BEST hardware - what matches?
The BEST 6K Series single dummy trim is the counterpart. It is a Grade 2, medium duty, non-keyed cylindrical knob in dummy function, so it does the same job as the Kwikset Pismo half dummy - a fixed pull with no turning action - while keeping the door consistent with 6K Series trim elsewhere in the facility. The Pismo is a residential-classified Kwikset knob carrying ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certification and a square rose.
4) Is a dummy knob the same as a passage knob?
No. A dummy knob like the Kwikset Pismo half dummy is fixed and does not turn - it is for doors where only a pull is required. A passage knob turns and retracts a latch. The Arrow MK01 and Arrow RK01 are both Grade 2 non-keyed passage cylindrical knob locks for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, and the Pamex FTF Baron in passage function is a Grade 3 option for the same door thickness. Those will latch a door; the Pismo half dummy will not.
5) Can I use a half dummy knob on a bathroom or bedroom door?
No - a bathroom or bedroom door needs a privacy function with a push-button or turn lock, and the Kwikset Pismo half dummy has no operation at all. For privacy, the Dexter C2000 Series privacy ball knob is Grade 2 and non-keyed for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, the Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob for the same thickness range, and the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose is the decorative option.
6) The opening is a high-traffic commercial corridor - what knob should I specify instead of a residential dummy?
The Kwikset Pismo half dummy is classified residential and is a non-operating pull. For a commercial corridor that needs an operating knob at higher duty, the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset with an interchangeable core, fire rated, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick. The Schlage D10S passage latch is a Grade 1 heavy duty Orbit knob in the D Series, and the Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 medium duty fire rated passage knob with a 2-3/4 inch backset.
7) I need the same Pismo look but on a door that locks with a key - what do I order?
The Kwikset Pismo half dummy is non-keyed and non-turning. For a keyed opening, the Cal-Royal BER00 entrance/office knob lock is Grade 3 and comes with a Kwikset keyway, which lets it key alike with existing Kwikset cylinders on the property. Other keyed choices are the Dexter C2000 entry/office ball knob, Grade 2 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, and the Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance/office knob with conventional cylinder for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
8) What Grade 1 knob can I standardize on if Grade 2 is not enough for the spec?
The Kwikset Pismo half dummy is ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certified. Where a drawing calls for Grade 1, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 passage/closet cylindrical lock is Grade 1 with a Global knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, the BEST 8K Series entrance function single cylinder knob is Grade 1 heavy duty, and the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom/closet knob lock. Match the function to the opening, since none of those is a dummy.
9) Do I have to worry about handing when ordering the Pismo knob?
No. The Pismo knob is reversible and universally handed, so the same part works on a right hand or left hand door. Order by finish, not by hand.
10) Is a Kwikset Pismo knob strong enough for an apartment building or office?
It carries ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certification, which is the standard light commercial and heavy residential tier, and Kwikset catalogues the Pismo as residential. As a dummy it takes no latching cycles anyway, only pull force, so it holds up fine on closet and inactive doors in a rental portfolio. For a genuinely heavy traffic institutional opening, a Grade 1 dummy is the harder-wearing route, though most Grade 1 knob lines here are functional locks rather than dummies.
11) What finishes does the Kwikset Pismo square rose knob come in?
Six: Satin Nickel, Venetian Bronze, Bright Chrome, Satin Chrome, Satin Brass, and Matte Black. That range lets you match the dummy to the working locksets already on the other doors, which is the usual reason someone buys one.
12) What else could I use instead of a Kwikset Pismo half dummy knob?
For a commercial spec, the Schlage A170 single dummy trim is a Grade 2 heavy duty dummy covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors, and the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim is a medium duty Grade 2 option. On the decorative side, Omnia's 434/0 and 442/00 are solid brass single dummy knobs, and the Bravura Biloxi is a Grade 2 round-trim dummy. The Pismo's pitch against those is the square rose and the six-finish range.
13) I need dummy knobs on both sides of a French door - does the Pismo half dummy work?
The Kwikset Pismo half dummy is a one-sided, non-turning knob, so a pair of doors needing trim on both faces takes two of them or a knobset sold as a pair. Emtek supplies dummy knobsets as a pair: the Arts and Crafts Hammered Egg dummy pair and the Classic Brass Crystal Georgetown and Providence dummy knobs both ship two knobs per set in dummy function. The Emtek Porcelain knobs also come two knobs per set with a threaded rod.
14) What is a simpler or lower-grade dummy knob than the Kwikset Pismo?
The Cal-Royal BA40 Barrington BA Series dummy knob is a straightforward cylindrical dummy for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Bravura Biloxi with round trim is another dummy knobset, Grade 2, if a round rose suits the door better than the Pismo square rose. Both do the same job as the Kwikset Pismo half dummy - a fixed pull, no turning function.
15) Is a knob trim for an exit device the same thing as a dummy knob?
They are different parts. The Kwikset Pismo half dummy is a standalone non-turning knob on a square rose for a door where only a pull is needed. Exit device trim mounts to a panic device on the outside of the door: the Sargent 28C-KNOB is knob and rose trim in classroom function for 1-3/4 inch doors in the 28 Series, the Sargent 78-2875 is an outside knob only with B design in the 7800 Series, and the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 is storeroom function knob trim for the ED-500 Series. None of those install on a door without the matching exit device.
16) What is the difference between the Kwikset Pismo half dummy and a storeroom knob lock?
The Pismo half dummy does not turn and secures nothing - it is trim for a door where only a pull is required. A storeroom knob is always locked from outside and needs a key. The Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 standard duty storeroom/closet knob lock with a single cylinder in the 6 Line Series, and the Sargent 8XG04 is the Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom/closet version with a 2-3/4 inch backset. Those are the parts for a supply or utility room; the Pismo is for a fixed decorative pull.
17) Do I need to worry about door handing when swapping a dummy knob between brands?
The Kwikset Pismo half dummy is reversible and universal handing, so it fits both right handed and left handed doors. Among the dummy-function alternatives, the Schlage A170 single dummy trim is a Grade 2 non-keyed knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch thick and the Cal-Royal BA40 dummy knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, so door thickness is the dimension to confirm on a cross-brand swap.
18) I am buying knobs for a whole house and only some doors need dummies - what else do I order?
The Kwikset Pismo half dummy covers the closet and pantry doors where only a pull is needed. For the doors that operate, the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. If passage function is all that is needed, the Bravura Albany and Bravura Lynchburg with round trim are both Grade 2 passage knobsets, and the Bravura Dallas with rectangle trim is a Grade 2 passage knobset in US4 satin brass.
19) What tools and prep do I need to install a Kwikset Pismo half dummy knob?
A screwdriver, and a few minutes. There's no latch to mortise and no strike to install, since the half dummy just fastens to one face of the door. Rose shape is square, so if you're replacing a round-rose knob expect a different footprint on the paint or finish.
20) Does the Kwikset Pismo knob have an antimicrobial coating?
Microban antimicrobial protection is built into the Pismo knob's finish. That's the reason it turns up in healthcare, hospitality, and multi-family specs where touch surfaces are part of the standard.
21) Can I match the Pismo half dummy to the other locks on my doors?
The Pismo is a Kwikset Signature Series collection, so the same knob design and the same six finishes run across the Pismo family. Buying the dummy in the finish you already have on the working Pismo locksets keeps a closet or inactive door looking identical to the rest of the openings, which is the point of a dummy on a matched suite.
