The Schlage 03-280-8RO is the OEM Rhodes Tactile Lever designed for Falcon 7-pin Key-in-Lever (KIL / FA7) cylinder applications, for the Schlage AD Series and CO Series cylindrical locks, documented in two official Schlage Service Manuals: AD Series and CO Series. Per the SecurityParts.com product page: "This replacement lever restores the original appearance and functionality of compatible AD Series and CO Series locks while allowing installation with a compatible Falcon 7-pin KIL cylinder." Supplied less cylinder. Non-handed. Tactile Rhodes lever profile. Cylindrical Original Part# 23779747.

 

What the 03-280 Falcon 7-Pin KIL Format Means

The 03-280 prefix identifies levers with factory preparation for the Falcon 7-pin Key-in-Lever (KIL) cylinder, designated FA7. Per the SecurityParts.com product page: "Accommodates Falcon 7-Pin Key-in-Lever (KIL) cylinder insertion and provides manual latch retraction." The Falcon FA7 cylinder is a conventional key-in-lever cylinder with a 7-pin configuration, distinct from standard Schlage KIL cylinders (03-231 prefix), Corbin Russwin KIL cylinders (03-234 prefix), and Sargent KIL cylinders (03-244 prefix). The lever bore is prepared specifically for the Falcon 7-pin KIL cylinder. A compatible Falcon FA7 KIL cylinder must be sourced separately and installed in the field. The cylinder is not included.

 

AD and CO Series Only: Narrow Compatibility Range

The 03-280-8RO is compatible with AD Series and CO Series electronic locks configured for Falcon 7-pin KIL cylinders. This is a narrower compatibility range than most other lever prefix families in the Schlage catalog. The ALX Series and ND Series are not listed in the formal compatibility section for this product. When replacing a tactile Rhodes lever on a Falcon 7-pin KIL configured lock, confirm the installed lock is an AD Series or CO Series before ordering the 03-280-8RO.

 

Rhodes Tactile Profile in the Falcon KIL Format

The 03-280-8RO uses the Rhodes lever profile with a tactile surface for hazardous area door identification. The tactile designation identifies doors to restricted or hazardous areas where surface feedback on the outside lever handle is required. The 03-280-8RO provides this tactile function alongside Falcon 7-pin KIL cylinder compatibility on AD and CO Series electronic access control locks. Per the product page, the application is confirmed as "Replacement Falcon Prep Exterior Lever."
