Schlage 03-200-OME is a genuine OEM Omega-style exterior lever less core for compatible Schlage AD, ALX, CO, and ND Series commercial locks with a Schlage Small Format Interchangeable Core (SFIC).
The Schlage 03-200-OME is the OEM Omega SFIC Lever Less Core for the Schlage ND Series, ALX Series, CO Series, and AD Series cylindrical locks, documented in the official Schlage ALX, ND, AD, and CO Series Service Manuals. It is the Omega profile (OME) lever in the SFIC format, shipping without a core installed. Non-handed. The 03-200-OME replaces two legacy part numbers: 03-000-OME for cylindrical and mortise applications, and 03-300-OME for exit device applications, both used before February 2017. Ten finishes are available including 626AM (Satin Chrome Antimicrobial). In stock.
The Omega Lever: The Only Lever in the Catalog With No Tactile Variant
The Schlage ND and ALX Series offer tactile variants for four of the five standard SFIC lever designs: Athens (8AT), Rhodes (8RO), Sparta (8SP), and Tubular (8TR). The Omega lever is the single exception. No tactile Omega lever exists in the Schlage ND or ALX Series catalog. There is no 8OME part number. When a project specification requires both the Omega lever design and a tactile warning surface at a specific door, those two requirements cannot be met simultaneously with a Schlage OEM lever. A different lever design must be specified for the door requiring the tactile designation, or the Omega specification must be revised for that door.
This is a specification decision point that matters when a facility has established an Omega lever standard throughout a building and needs to meet IBC or ADAAG tactile requirements at select doors. The other four lever designs (Athens, Rhodes, Sparta, Tubular) each offer a tactile version in the 03-200 SFIC family. Only the Omega does not.
Schlage 03-200-OME: The Omega Rose Pairing Requirement
The Omega lever is the only lever in the Schlage ALX and ND Series catalog that uses a dedicated, design-specific rose. The official Schlage ALX Series Service Manual states: "03-042 OME inside/outside rose for Omega lever" and separately, "03-042 RHO inside/outside rose for all levers except Omega." Every other lever design in the catalog (Athens, Rhodes, Sparta, Tubular, and all their tactile variants) uses the 03-042-RHO. The Omega lever (03-200-OME) exclusively requires the 03-042-OME Omega Rose on both inside and outside trim positions.
This pairing requirement affects two ordering decisions. First, when ordering the 03-200-OME lever, the 03-042-OME rose must also be ordered separately in the matching finish. Second, the ALX Series Service Manual confirms that the Omega rose is not available with the ALX chassis kit (ALX CK). The chassis kit includes two Rhodes roses as standard. When replacing a complete Omega trim assembly, both the 03-200-OME lever and the 03-042-OME roses must be sourced individually, not from the chassis kit.
Schlage 03-200-OME vs 03-200-ATH: No NDE Series Coverage
The 03-200-ATH Athens SFIC Lever is documented in five Service Manuals including the Schlage NDE Series Parts Manual, confirming its application in NDE exit device outside trim assemblies. The 03-200-OME Omega SFIC Lever is documented in four Service Manuals, and the NDE Series is not among them. The Omega lever is not available in NDE exit device trim configurations.
The 03-300-OME legacy part number (for exit device applications pre-February 2017) represents historical Omega lever exit device trim usage. The 03-200-OME supersedes 03-300-OME as the current part number, but the NDE Series (the current Schlage electronic exit device with outside trim) does not accept the Omega lever as outside trim. If an older installation used a 03-300-OME Omega lever on an exit device trim, the 03-200-OME is the current ordering path for that same lever, regardless of the NDE Series exclusion.
Finishes and SFIC Core for the 03-200-OME
Ten finishes are available: 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). The 03-042-OME Omega Rose must be ordered in the matching finish. The SFIC core is supplied separately by the facility's key system manager. ND function models covered: ND81 (Accessible Storeroom), ND82 (Institution), ND85 (Faculty Restroom), and the Vandlgard series ND91 through ND97.
