The Schlage 03-232-8AT is the OEM Tactile Athens FSIC 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 Athens lever profile with tactile surface in the 03-232 Full Size Interchangeable Core (FSIC) format. The lever is supplied less core, requiring installation with a compatible Schlage FSIC cylinder. Non-handed. The legacy part number is 03-032-8AT. Ten finishes are available including 626AM. Available (3-4 weeks).

What the 03-232 FSIC Lever Format Means

The 03-232 prefix identifies Full Size Interchangeable Core (FSIC) levers in the Schlage ND and ALX Series lever catalog. Per the SecurityParts.com product page, the 03-232-8AT "accommodates Full Size Interchangeable Core (FSIC) cylinder insertion, provides manual latch retraction, and features tactile safety feedback."

FSIC cores use a larger oval-shaped format than SFIC (Small Format Interchangeable Core) cores. Both FSIC and SFIC are interchangeable core systems where the core is removed and replaced using a control key without disassembling the lever from the door. However, FSIC and SFIC cores are not interchangeable between the two housing types. A facility using Schlage FSIC must order FSIC levers in the 03-232 format. A facility using SFIC must order SFIC levers in the 03-200 format. Ordering the wrong format produces a lever housing that does not accept the facility's existing core type.

03-232-8AT vs 03-200-8AT: FSIC vs SFIC Athens Tactile Lever

The 03-232-8AT and the 03-200-8AT (Athens Tactile SFIC Lever Less Core) are both tactile Athens levers that ship less core and cover the same Vandlgard and specialty ND Series functions. The only difference is the core format. The 03-232-8AT accepts a Schlage FSIC core. The 03-200-8AT accepts a Schlage SFIC core. The lever profile, tactile surface, finishes, and function coverage are identical. Confirm the installed core format before ordering to ensure the correct lever housing is selected.
