The Schlage 03-232-8TR is the OEM Tubular Tactile FSIC Lever Less Core for the Schlage ALX Series, ND Series, CO Series, and AD Series cylindrical locks, documented in four official Schlage Service Manuals: ALX, ND, AD, and CO Series. It is the Tubular 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 03-032-8TR. Available (3-4 weeks).

Tubular Tactile FSIC Lever: Round Profile in the FSIC Format

Per the SecurityParts.com product page, the 03-232-8TR "accommodates Full Size Interchangeable Core (FSIC) cylinder insertion, provides manual latch retraction, and features tactile safety feedback." It is a genuine OEM tactile Tubular-style exterior lever less core for Schlage commercial locksets using a Schlage FSIC cylinder.

The Tubular lever uses a uniform round cylindrical rod handle that is visually distinct from every other lever design in the Schlage ND and ALX Series catalog. Athens, Rhodes, Sparta, and Omega levers all use shaped handles with profiles that vary along the shank. The Tubular lever maintains a consistent circular cross-section from the hub to the handle tip. The tactile surface on the 03-232-8TR wraps around the full circumference of the round handle, providing tactile safety feedback detectable from any grip approach angle. This is noted on the product page as providing "tactile safety feedback" for accessibility applications.

03-232-8TR vs 03-232-8RO: Service Manual Coverage Difference

Within the 03-232 FSIC tactile lever family, the 03-232-8TR and the 03-232-8RO (Rhodes Tactile FSIC) both use the same FSIC format and cover the same Vandlgard and specialty ND Series functions. A notable difference is the Service Manual documentation. The 03-232-8TR is documented in four Service Manuals: ALX, ND, AD, and CO. The 03-232-8RO is documented in only two Service Manuals: ALX and ND. The 03-232-8TR shares its four-manual coverage with the 03-232-8AT (Athens Tactile FSIC) and the 03-232-8SP (Sparta Tactile FSIC). When AD or CO Series documented compatibility is required, the 03-232-8TR has broader formal Service Manual coverage than the 03-232-8RO.
