When should I use a dummy knob or lever instead of a functional one?
Dummy hardware is best for doors that don’t need a latch or lock, such as closets, pantries, linen closets, and double doors where one side is inactive. It provides a finished look without unnecessary lock hardware.
Are black dummy knobs and levers easy to install?

Will black dummy hardware match my other black door hardware?
Matte black dummy hardware is designed to coordinate with other matte black door hardware. Because finish tones can vary slightly by manufacturer, matching within the same brand can provide the most consistent look.
