The Schlage 03-234-8AT is the OEM Athens Tactile Lever with factory preparation for Corbin Russwin Conventional Key-in-Lever (KIL) cylinders, for the Schlage AD Series, ND Series, CO Series, and ALX Series cylindrical locks, documented in four official Schlage Service Manuals: ALX, ND, AD, and CO Series. Per the SecurityParts.com product page, the 03-234-8AT "is supplied less cylinder for installations requiring a compatible Corbin Russwin conventional KIL cylinder." Non-handed. Available (3-4 weeks).

What the 03-234 Corbin KIL Prep Lever Format Means

The 03-234 prefix identifies levers with factory preparation for Corbin Russwin Conventional Key-in-Lever (KIL) cylinders. This is distinct from the 03-231 KIL lever prefix, which is prepared for standard Schlage KIL cylinders. The 03-234 lever has a different cylinder bore geometry machined at the factory specifically to accept a Corbin Russwin conventional KIL cylinder rather than a Schlage-format KIL cylinder.

Per the SecurityParts.com product page, the 03-234-8AT is designed for "compatible Schlage AD, CO, ALX, and ND Series lock applications configured for Corbin Russwin conventional Key-in-Lever (KIL) cylinders." This lever is used when an installation requires Schlage ND, ALX, AD, or CO Series hardware functionality while also requiring a Corbin Russwin conventional KIL cylinder to match an existing Corbin Russwin key system in the facility. The lever ships less cylinder. A compatible Corbin Russwin conventional KIL cylinder must be sourced separately and installed into the lever bore.

Athens Tactile Profile and Application

The 03-234-8AT uses the Athens lever profile with tactile surface. The tactile surface on the handle provides safety feedback by touch for hazardous area door identification at outside trim positions where the tactile designation is specified alongside the Corbin Russwin KIL cylinder preparation.

The 03-234-8AT is one of several 03-234 family levers covering different lever profiles and tactile designations for Corbin Russwin KIL prep installations. When a project specifies Athens Tactile levers at outside trim positions and the cylinder requirement is Corbin Russwin KIL, the 03-234-8AT is the correct lever. When the cylinder requirement is a standard Schlage KIL cylinder, the 03-231-8AT (Athens Tactile KIL Lever Less Cylinder) is the correct part instead.

Series Compatibility and Service Manual Coverage

The 03-234-8AT is compatible with Schlage AD Series, CO Series, ALX Series, and ND Series locks configured for Corbin Russwin KIL preparation, as confirmed on the SecurityParts.com product page. It is documented in four Service Manuals: Schlage ALX Series, ND Series, AD Series, and CO Series Service Manuals.
