Kwikset Tripoli Lever Dummy Door Handle Pack of 2 - Satin Nickel

In this review the Kwikset Tripoli Lever Dummy Door Handle pack is assessed for homeowners and DIYers who need a reliable non-locking lever for interior applications. The bottom line: this pack of two delivers a sturdy, easy-to-install solution for double doors, closets, and pantries where a non-turning pull is required. Its reversible lever design and Microban protection make it a practical choice for busy homes, and the included hardware means installation is usually a single-screwdriver job.

Key Features

• Inactive dummy design: Intended for interior doors with no latch or lock, the lever remains non-turning so it functions purely as a pull, ideal for French double doors and closets.
• Easy install reversible lever: The lever reverses for left- or right-handed doors and installs in minutes with just a screwdriver, making it a true DIY update.
• Microban protection: The finish is treated with Microban to help keep the surface cleaner and reduce microbial growth compared with untreated hardware.
• Complete box contents: Each pack includes the interior lever, screws and installation hardware plus an install guide so everything needed is in the box.
• Warranty protection: Backed by a lifetime mechanical and finish warranty, the hardware gives long-term peace of mind for interior use.

Who It's For

This product is best for homeowners, renters, and contractors who need a non-locking door pull for interior openings such as pantry doors, closet doors, and paired French doors where only a pull is required. It is particularly useful for those who want a quick DIY install and a lever that can be set for left- or right-handed use.

Those who need a latch, privacy function, or keyed lock should look elsewhere, since these are inactive dummy levers and provide no turning or locking function. Also, if a heavy-duty commercial lockset is required for exterior or high-security use, choose hardware designed for those applications.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Simple, fast installation that only requires a screwdriver and the included hardware.

• Microban-treated surface helps keep the finish cleaner in active areas like kitchens.
