The Schlage 03-277-TLR Tubular Lever is a genuine OEM replacement lever designed for Schlage series locks configured for Sargent LFIC (Large Format Interchangeable Core) cylinders. Supplied less core for field installation of the compatible Sargent LFIC.
The Schlage 03-277-TLR is the OEM Tubular Lever designed for Sargent Large Format Interchangeable Core (LFIC / J-SAR) 6-pin applications, for the Schlage AD Series, CO Series, ALX Series, and ND Series cylindrical locks, documented in four official Schlage Service Manuals: ALX, ND, AD, and CO Series. Per the SecurityParts.com product page: "The Schlage 03-277-TLR Tubular Lever is a genuine OEM replacement lever designed for Schlage series locks configured for Sargent LFIC (Large Format Interchangeable Core) cylinders. Supplied less core for field installation of the compatible Sargent LFIC." Standard non-tactile Tubular lever with round cylindrical handle. Non-handed.
Three Legacy Part Numbers Replaced by the 03-277-TLR
The 03-277-TLR replaces three legacy part numbers, as confirmed on the SecurityParts.com product page under "Original Part#."
- 03-077-TLR: Original part number for cylindrical lock outside trim applications using the Tubular Sargent FSIC lever.
- 09-377-TLR: Original part number for mortise lock trim applications. The 09 prefix in the legacy Schlage system identified mortise trim levers.
- 03-377-TLR: Original part number for exit device outside trim applications.
Any maintenance record or specification referencing these three legacy numbers maps to the 03-277-TLR as the current OEM replacement, regardless of whether the original installation was on a cylindrical lock, mortise lock, or exit device.
Tubular Profile Completing the 03-277 Sargent FSIC Standard Family
The 03-277-TLR is the final standard non-tactile lever in the 03-277 Sargent FSIC family, joining the 03-277-ATH (Athens), 03-277-RHO (Rhodes), and 03-277-SPA (Sparta). The 03-277-TLR, 03-277-RHO, and 03-277-SPA are each documented in four Service Manuals (ALX, ND, AD, CO). The 03-277-ATH is documented in two Service Manuals. Per the product page, the primary function is "Accommodates a Sargent conventional 6-pin LFIC (J-SAR) interchangeable core for manual latch retraction and rapid re-keying safety."
The Tubular lever uses a uniform round cylindrical rod handle that is visually distinct from all other profiles in the Schlage ND and ALX Series catalog. When a facility uses Tubular levers as its established standard and the installed core is a Sargent LFIC, the 03-277-TLR is the correct replacement. A compatible Sargent 6-pin LFIC (J-SAR) core must be sourced separately. The core is not included.
Standard vs Tactile: 03-277-TLR vs 03-277-8TR
The 03-277-TLR is the standard non-tactile Tubular Sargent FSIC lever. The 03-277-8TR is the tactile version with knurled tactile grooves wrapping the round handle for ADA hazardous area identification. Both accept a Sargent FSIC core and supply less cylinder. Confirm the original installation specification before ordering to avoid installing a standard lever at a position that required the tactile designation.
Series Compatibility and Finishes
The 03-277-TLR is compatible with AD Series, CO Series, ALX Series, and ND Series locks configured for Sargent LFIC J-SAR cores. Finish must be specified at time of order. Contact SecurityParts.com for current finish and availability information. The Sargent LFIC core is not included and must be ordered separately.
