The Schlage 03-280-RHO is the OEM Rhodes 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: "Schlage 03-280-RHO is a genuine OEM Rhodes-style exterior lever less cylinder designed for compatible Schlage electronic locks configured for Falcon 7-pin Key-in-Lever (FA7) cylinders." Supplied less cylinder. Standard non-tactile Rhodes lever. Non-handed. Original Part# 23779739 (Cylindrical) and 09-331-RHO (Mortise/Exit Device). Available (3-4 weeks).

Standard vs Tactile: 03-280-RHO vs 03-280-8RO

The 03-280-RHO is the standard non-tactile Rhodes Falcon 7-pin KIL lever. The 03-280-8RO is the tactile version with a tactile surface on the handle for ADA hazardous area door identification. Both accept a Falcon FA7 7-pin KIL cylinder, both supply less cylinder, and both are documented in two Service Manuals covering AD and CO Series. The standard 03-280-RHO carries a lower price than the tactile 03-280-8RO. Confirm the original installation specification before ordering to avoid installing a standard lever at a position that required the tactile designation.

Legacy Part Numbers and Falcon FA7 Cylinder Requirement

The 03-280-RHO replaces two legacy part numbers confirmed on the SecurityParts.com product page. Original Part# 23779739 covers cylindrical lock applications. Original Part# 09-331-RHO covers mortise lock and exit device applications. Per the SecurityParts.com FAQ: "It is designed for Falcon Key-in-Lever (KIL), LD FA7 (7-pin) cylinder configurations." A compatible Falcon FA7 7-pin KIL cylinder must be sourced separately and installed in the field. The cylinder is not included with the 03-280-RHO.

AD and CO Series Compatibility

The formal compatibility section on the SecurityParts.com product page lists AD Series and CO Series only. Per the product page primary function: "Accommodates Falcon 7-Pin Key-in-Lever (KIL) cylinder insertion and provides manual latch retraction." The 03-280 Falcon 7-pin KIL format applies to AD and CO Series electronic access control cylindrical locks configured for Falcon FA7 cylinders. Confirm the installed lock series before ordering.
