Kwikset 788TNLLH-26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a Kwikset Tustin half dummy lever actually for, and does it latch?
A half dummy is a single lever on one face of the door with no latch and no moving mechanism. The Tustin 788TNL lever doesn't turn and doesn't retract anything, it just gives you something to pull on. Kwikset lists it for interior doors where a push/pull function is required, so think closet doors, French door inactive leaves, pantry doors, and any opening held shut by a ball catch or roller catch. If you need the door to actually latch, you want a passage set instead.
2) Do I need to order the Kwikset Tustin half dummy in left hand or right hand?
Handing matters on this one. The 788TNL Tustin half dummy is sold handed, and KWI-788TNLLH is the left hand version. Stand on the outside of the door (the side it swings away from) and note which side the hinges are on: hinges on the left means left hand. Since a dummy lever is fixed and only mounts on one face, ordering the wrong hand leaves you with a lever pointing the wrong way.
3) What is the closest equivalent to the Kwikset 788TNL Tustin half dummy lever from a commercial-grade brand?
The BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim cylindrical lever is a Grade 1 non-keyed heavy duty dummy trim, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy cylindrical lever lock in the 5400 Series. Both are dummy function like the Tustin 788TNL, meaning a fixed lever with no latch, but they are built to commercial heavy duty specifications while the Tustin is a residential lever. If a facility is standardizing on commercial trim across a corridor, either of those matches the function.
4) The Tustin half dummy is handed - is there a dummy lever that avoids picking a hand?
A half dummy mounts on one face and is ordered by hand, so left and right are separate parts. The Emtek Arts and Crafts lever dummy is supplied as a pair, as is the Emtek Hammered lever dummy and the Emtek Cortina lever dummy in the Classic Brass series, so a pair covers both faces of the door in one order. The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy with 5048 rose is also handed and is stocked in both a left hand and a right hand version, so it stays a per-hand decision.
5) I need a lever that actually turns and retracts a latch, not a fixed dummy - what should I order instead of the Tustin 788TNL half dummy?
The Tustin 788TNL is a dummy lever, a non-turning one-sided pull with no latch. For an interior door that needs a working latch with no lock, a passage lever is the correct part: the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with 5048 rose, the Accentra 5301LN Augusta Grade 2 passage/closet lever, the Falcon B101 Grade 2 non-handed cylindrical passage lever, or the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever with Withnell design, which lists a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range.
6) Is a passage lever the same thing as the Tustin 788TNL half dummy?
They look alike on the door but they are not interchangeable. The Tustin 788TNL is a dummy lever that does not turn and has no latch, mounted with the door held by a catch or a ball catch. A passage lever such as the Accentra 4601LN Grade 2 with Augusta trim or the Arrow GL01 Grade 2 Sierra lever, which lists a 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, turns and retracts a latchbolt into a strike. A door prepped for a dummy has no latch bore prepared, and a door prepped for passage has one.
7) Which lever should be specified when a fire-rated opening is involved and a Tustin dummy will not qualify?
A dummy lever such as the Tustin 788TNL is fixed trim with no latch, so it does not latch a fire door. Among the levers that carry a fire rating, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-handed passage lock with a 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet lever in the CL3100 Series with a 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door thickness range.
8) Does a half dummy lever need a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset bore?
A half dummy mounts to the door face and doesn't use a latch bore at all, so backset isn't the deciding measurement here. What you do need is the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, or on many dummy installs just the two mounting screws into the door face. The adjustable 2-3/8 inch to 2-3/4 inch backset Kwikset publishes on the Tustin line applies to the latching functions in the family, which is what lets those sets drop into any standard residential door prep.
9) Is the Kwikset Tustin lever ADA compliant for lever operation?
Kwikset states the Tustin meets ADA/ANSI A117.1 requirements. The lever shape is the reason: it operates with a closed fist and no tight grasping or wrist twisting. Worth noting for the half dummy specifically that there's nothing to operate, it's a pull, so the ADA point matters most when you're standardizing the whole Tustin family across an opening set.
10) What do I install if the closet door needs to latch shut instead of just pulling open?
A dummy won't hold a door closed, so step up to a passage set. In the residential range, matching Kwikset Tustin passage levers keep the same lever profile and finish across the doors. If the opening is commercial or higher traffic, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 non-handed passage lever fitting 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors and carries a fire rating, and the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Both latch and both take standard bore prep.
11) Will a Kwikset Tustin half dummy replace an existing dummy knob on my door?
In most cases yes, since half dummy trim mounts to the door face rather than through a latch bore, so an old dummy knob's mounting holes are usually all that's there. The thing that catches people out is that the Tustin dummy is handed, and a knob is not. Confirm which face and which swing you're replacing before you pick left or right hand; the lever has to point away from the hinge side to be usable.
12) I need the door to lock with a key - what replaces a Tustin 788TNL dummy on an office or entry door?
A dummy lever has no cylinder and cannot be keyed, so a keyed function lockset is a different part rather than an upgrade of the same one. The Dexter C1000 Series entry/office lever is Grade 1 clutching and keyed with a 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range, the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 medium duty entry/office lever, and the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is a Grade 2 with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and 2-3/8 inch backset.
13) Is there a decorative half dummy alternative to the Kwikset Tustin for a residential renovation?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever with the 5048 rose is a dummy function lever offered in left hand and right hand versions, the same one-sided fixed trim arrangement as the Tustin 788TNL half dummy. The Tustin is offered in Venetian Bronze, Satin Nickel, Bright Chrome, Satin Chrome, Bright Brass, and Matte Black, and carries Microban antimicrobial protection.
14) What does Microban protection on Kwikset door hardware actually do?
Microban antimicrobial protection is built into the Tustin lever's finish, and Kwikset states it keeps door hardware 99.9 percent cleaner than unprotected surfaces. It's a surface treatment against microbial growth on the hardware itself, not a substitute for cleaning. This is the feature that tends to sell it into multi-family common areas and assisted living units where touched surfaces get scrutinized.
15) How hard is the Kwikset Tustin half dummy to install, and what tools do I need?
A screwdriver and a few minutes. The Tustin half dummy mounts to the door face with no latch to install and no strike to align, which is why it's the fastest piece of lever hardware on a turnover punch list. Kwikset publishes an installation guide for the 720/TNL Tustin platform covering the mounting.
