Schlage 03-200-ATH is a genuine OEM Athens-style exterior lever less core for compatible Schlage AD, ALX, CO, NDE and ND Series commercial locks with a Schlage Small Format Interchangeable Core (SFIC).
The Schlage 03-200-ATH is the OEM Athens SFIC Lever Less Core for the Schlage ALX Series, ND Series, NDE Series, CO Series, and AD Series, documented in the official Schlage ALX, ND, NDE, AD, and CO Series Service Manuals. The 03-200-ATH is the standard non-tactile Athens lever in the SFIC format, shipping without a core installed. Non-handed. In stock.
The 03-200-ATH consolidates two legacy part numbers into one current part number. Per the official Schlage product documentation: the 03-200-ATH replaces 03-000-ATH (for cylindrical and mortise lock applications, used before February 2017) AND 03-300-ATH (for exit device trim applications, used before February 2017). One 03-200-ATH part number now covers all three application types - cylindrical lock trim, mortise lock trim, and NDE Series exit device trim.
03-200-ATH vs 03-200-8AT: Standard vs Tactile Athens Lever
The Athens lever design in the Schlage ND and ALX Series SFIC family has two versions. The 03-200-ATH is the standard Athens lever with a smooth handle surface. The 03-200-8AT is the tactile Athens lever with a raised textured surface on the handle for hazardous area door identification. Both use the identical Athens lever profile and the same SFIC less core format. The only difference is the handle surface texture.
The 03-200-8AT (tactile) is specified only for doors where building code or facility policy requires a tactile warning surface - typically doors to hazardous areas as required by IBC and ADAAG. The 03-200-ATH (standard) is specified for all other SFIC Athens lever applications throughout the building. For most project specifications calling for Athens levers, the 03-200-ATH is the correct standard product. The 03-200-8AT applies at specific doors within the same project.
The 03-200-ATH is also priced lower than the tactile variant, reflecting the standard surface treatment. When sourcing replacement levers for a building project using Athens SFIC levers throughout, confirm whether the specific door being serviced was specified with tactile or standard levers before ordering.
NDE Series Exit Device Trim: What the 03-300-ATH Replacement Means
Before February 2017, Schlage used a separate prefix system for exit device trim levers: 03-300 for SFIC exit device trim. The Athens lever for exit device applications was 03-300-ATH. The current 03-200 prefix consolidation replaced both the 03-000 cylindrical/mortise lever and the 03-300 exit device lever with the single 03-200-ATH part number.
This matters for the NDE Series. The Schlage NDE is the electrified exit device with outside trim, combining a Von Duprin-style exit device body with a Schlage outside trim assembly. The NDE Series exit device uses an outside lever trim that accepts the same 03-200-ATH Athens lever. When ordering a replacement Athens SFIC lever for an NDE Series installation, the part number is the same 03-200-ATH used for cylindrical and mortise installations. Industry databases that still reference 03-300-ATH for NDE applications should be updated to 03-200-ATH.
Schlage 03-200-ATH: Application Coverage Across Five Series
The 03-200-ATH is documented in five Schlage Service Manuals: ALX Series, ND Series, NDE Series, AD Series, and CO Series. This is the broadest service manual coverage of any lever in the 03-200 SFIC family - the tactile variants (8AT, 8RO, 8SP, 8TR) are documented in four manuals each (ALX, ND, AD, CO) without the NDE Series manual. The inclusion of the NDE Series service manual for the 03-200-ATH reflects its exit device trim application scope.
The 03-200-ATH pairs with the 03-042-RHO (Rhodes Rose) on both inside and outside trim positions, confirmed in the official Schlage ALX Series Service Manual. The SFIC core is not included. The core is ordered separately and installed by the facility's key system manager using the control key, allowing rekeying without lock removal or disassembly.
