The Schlage 03-230-SPA Sparta Closed Lever is an OEM interior replacement lever designed for select Schlage AD/ALX/CO/ND/NDE Series electronic locks. It provides a replacement interior lever trim while maintaining the original appearance and functionality of the lock.
The Schlage 03-230-SPA is the OEM Sparta Closed Lever for the Schlage ALX Series, ND Series, CO Series, AD Series, and NDE Series, documented in all five official Schlage Service Manuals for these product lines. It is the standard non-tactile Sparta lever in the closed format: the lever hub is sealed with no cylinder housing. Non-handed. ADA compliant. Used at inside trim positions. The legacy part number for this lever is 03-030, as confirmed on the SecurityParts.com product page. Ten finishes are available including 626AM (Satin Chrome Antimicrobial). In stock.
Legacy Part Number 03-030: What It Means for Replacement Orders
The current Schlage closed lever part numbering system uses the 03-230 prefix followed by the lever design code. The 03-230-SPA is the current part number for the Sparta closed lever. The legacy part number 03-030 was used before the current numbering system was introduced. Any installation specification, maintenance record, or service order that references 03-030 is referring to the Sparta closed lever now designated as the 03-230-SPA. The 03-030 and 03-230-SPA are the same lever in current catalog form.
This legacy crossover is important for service and facilities teams maintaining older building hardware documentation. When a maintenance work order lists 03-030 as the replacement part, the correct current order is for the 03-230-SPA. Ordering from the legacy number directly may produce no results in current Schlage distributor systems since the 03-030 designation is no longer used in active ordering catalogs.
Standard vs Tactile: 03-230-SPA vs 03-230-8SP
The Sparta closed lever family has two versions. The 03-230-SPA is the standard version with a smooth lever handle surface. The 03-230-8SP is the tactile version with a raised textured surface on the handle for hazardous area door identification per IBC and ADAAG requirements.
The 03-230-SPA is the correct selection for the majority of inside trim positions in a project using Sparta levers. The 03-230-8SP applies only at doors where building code or facility policy requires the tactile designation at both the inside and outside trim positions. Replacing a standard inside lever with a tactile version when tactile was not the original specification produces a mismatched trim assembly. Verify the original door specification before ordering the replacement version to confirm which is correct.
No Break-Away on the Sparta Closed Lever
The optional break-away feature documented for Rhodes levers in the official Schlage ALX Series Data Sheet is not available on the Sparta design. Among all closed lever designs in the 03-230 family, only the Rhodes closed lever (03-230-RHO) offers the break-away option. The 03-230-SPA Sparta Closed Lever has a solid, non-break-away lever body. When break-away protection is a project requirement at the inside trim position, the 03-230-RHO is the correct lever regardless of the lever profile standard for other doors in the project.
Inside Companion to the 03-200-SPA and NDE Coverage
The 03-230-SPA is the inside trim companion to the 03-200-SPA (Sparta SFIC Lever Less Core) at the outside trim position. Both levers pair with the 03-042-RHO (Rhodes Rose) at their respective positions in the matching finish, as confirmed in the official Schlage ALX Series Service Manual. The NDE Series uses a closed lever at the inside trim position, and the 03-230-SPA covers that application, as confirmed by the NDE Service Manual listed in the catalog section of the product page.
