Kwikset KWI-788SELLH Left Hand Sedona Lever Half Dummy

It's an interior pack only. The Sedona half dummy lever doesn't latch or operate anything, and a matching Kwikset exterior pack has to be ordered separately to make a working opening. It's intended to go with Kwikset handlesets, where the handleset carries the exterior trim and the locking is handled by a turn piece on the inside.

The lever on the KWI-788SELLH is a left-hand lever, so the handle sweeps to the left. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left, you want the left-hand version. Get the hand wrong on a dummy lever and it points the wrong way, since there is no latch to reverse.

No. A half dummy is surface-mounted trim with no latch and no bore-through operation, so the door won't stay shut on its own. For a closet or hall door that needs a latch, use a passage set: the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever, and the Arrow GL01 Sierra lever is a Grade 2 passage lock fitting 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors.

The Kwikset KWI-788SELLH Sedona half dummy is ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 and catalogued for residential use. For a heavier specification in dummy function, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim cylindrical lever lock is Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy cylindrical lever in the 5400 Series. At the same Grade 2 level, the BEST 7KC Series 1DT single dummy trim lever is medium duty and non-keyed.

A half dummy such as the Kwikset Sedona KWI-788SELLH is a single non-functioning interior lever. If you need trim on both faces, Emtek sells dummy pairs: the Arts and Crafts lever dummy pair and the Hammered lever dummy pair in the Arts and Crafts line, and the Cortina lever dummy pair in the Classic Brass line, all in dummy function.

Yes. The Kwikset KWI-788SELLH Sedona lever is a non-functioning half dummy with no latch, intended as an interior pack for use with a Kwikset handleset. For a latching closet or hall door, a passage function leverset is the correct part: the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is Grade 2 passage, the Hager 2510 with Withnell lever is Grade 2 passage for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage lever with a non-handed design.

Yes. Alongside the Kwikset KWI-788SELLH Sedona half dummy, the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy uses the 5048 rose. Choose on trim style and handing, since the Kwikset Sedona half dummy is specifically the left hand lever and the Baldwin 5103 half dummy is offered left and right hand.

A half dummy like the Kwikset KWI-788SELLH Sedona has no locking latch of its own. For a bed or bath opening, use a privacy function lever: the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with the 5048 rose keeps the same lever look as its matching half dummy, and the Hager 2540 with Withnell lever is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.

They fill the same role: one non-functioning lever on one face of the door. The Kwikset KWI-788SELLH Sedona is a left hand half dummy sold as an interior pack for Kwikset handlesets, while the BEST 7KC Series 1DT and the Accentra 455LN Augusta are described as single dummy trim and single dummy cylindrical lever locks respectively, both in dummy function. The difference to check is handing and whether the trim is meant to pair with a specific handleset line.

Screwdriver work, a few minutes. There's no latch to mortise and no cross-bore operation to align, since the lever doesn't function. It mounts to the interior side as part of a Kwikset handleset installation.

Yes. Microban antimicrobial product protection is built into the Sedona lever, which Kwikset states keeps the hardware 99.9 percent cleaner than unprotected surfaces. That's a point property managers ask about on shared-entry and multi-family doors.
