The Schlage 03-280-SPA is the OEM Sparta 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-SPA is a genuine OEM Sparta-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 Sparta lever. Non-handed. Original Part# 23779762 (Cylindrical) and 09-331-SPA (Mortise/Exit Device). Available (3-4 weeks).

Standard vs Tactile: 03-280-SPA vs 03-280-8SP

The 03-280-SPA is the standard non-tactile Sparta Falcon 7-pin KIL lever. The 03-280-8SP 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-SPA carries a lower price than the tactile 03-280-8SP. Confirm the original installation specification before ordering to avoid installing a standard lever at a position that required the tactile designation.

Falcon FA7 Cylinder Requirement and Legacy Part Numbers

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. The cylinder is not included. The 03-280-SPA replaces Original Part# 23779762 for cylindrical lock applications and 09-331-SPA for mortise lock and exit device applications, as confirmed on the SecurityParts.com product page.

Sparta Profile in the 03-280 Falcon KIL Standard Family

The 03-280-SPA joins the 03-280-RHO (Rhodes Lever, Falcon KIL 7-Pin Less Cylinder) as the standard non-tactile levers in the 03-280 Falcon FA7 format. Both are available at the same price, both cover AD and CO Series only, and both are documented in two Service Manuals. The only difference is the lever profile. The 03-280-SPA uses the Sparta design. When a building uses Sparta levers as its established standard and the installed cylinder is a Falcon FA7 7-pin KIL, the 03-280-SPA is the correct replacement. Per the formal compatibility section: AD Series and CO Series only. Ten finishes are listed: 605 (Bright Brass), 606 (Satin Brass), 612 (Satin Bronze), 613 (Oil Rubbed Bronze), 619 (Satin Nickel), 622 (Matte Black), 625 (Bright Chrome), 626 (Satin Chrome), 626AM (Satin Chrome Antimicrobial), and 643E (Aged Bronze). All finishes are currently not available. Finish must be specified at time of order. Contact SecurityParts.com for current finish availability.
