The Schlage 03-233-SPA is the OEM Sparta Button Lever for the Schlage AD Series, ALX Series, CO Series, and ND Series cylindrical locks, documented in the official Schlage ALX Series and ND Series Service Manuals. It is the standard non-tactile Sparta lever in the 03-233 button lever format. Per the SecurityParts.com product page, the lever is constructed of pressure-cast zinc, plated to BHMA standards, and is non-handed and field reversible. The lever hub has a push button opening for the inside push button mechanism used at privacy, entrance, office, and Vandlgard function inside trim positions.

Series Compatibility Confirmed on Product Page

The SecurityParts.com product page confirms four compatible series for the 03-233-SPA.

• ND Series: Grade 1 Heavy Duty Cylindrical Locks.
• ALX Series: Grade 2 Cylindrical Locks.
• AD Series: Electronic Wireless and Hardwired Locks.
• CO Series: Standalone Electronic Locks.

The lever is documented in two Service Manuals: the Schlage ALX Series Service Manual and the Schlage ND Series Service Manual.

Standard vs Tactile: 03-233-SPA vs 03-233-8SP

The 03-233-SPA and the 03-233-8SP (Sparta Tactile Button Lever) are both Sparta button levers in the same 03-233 format. Both use pressure-cast zinc construction, cover the same function range, and are documented in the same two Service Manuals. The difference is the handle surface. The 03-233-SPA has a smooth handle surface. The 03-233-8SP has a raised tactile surface for hazardous area door identification. The 03-233-SPA is the correct selection for all standard Sparta button lever positions. The 03-233-8SP applies only where the tactile designation was originally specified. Confirm which version was installed before ordering a replacement to avoid a non-compliant substitution at that inside trim position.
