Standard vs Tactile: 03-234-RHO vs 03-234-8RO

The 03-234-RHO and the 03-234-8RO (Rhodes Tactile Lever, Corbin KIL Prep) are both Rhodes levers in the 03-234 Corbin Russwin KIL prep format. Both ship less cylinder and are prepared for Corbin Russwin conventional KIL cylinders. Three differences distinguish them.

First, the handle surface. The 03-234-RHO has a smooth standard handle surface. The 03-234-8RO has a raised tactile surface for hazardous area door identification. Second, the NDE Series coverage. The 03-234-RHO is documented in five Service Manuals including the NDE Series. The 03-234-8RO is documented in four Service Manuals and does not include the NDE Series. Third, the availability status. The 03-234-RHO is confirmed In Stock on the SecurityParts.com product page. When replacing a standard Rhodes Corbin KIL lever, confirm the original was not specified with the tactile designation before ordering the 03-234-RHO.

NDE Series Coverage and Full Compatibility

The 03-234-RHO is compatible with Schlage AD Series, CO Series, ALX Series, ND Series, and NDE Series, as confirmed on the SecurityParts.com product page. The NDE Series inclusion follows the consistent pattern for standard (non-tactile) levers in the 03-234 Corbin KIL prep family, where the standard version includes NDE coverage that the tactile version does not carry. NDE exit device installations configured for Corbin Russwin KIL cylinders and using a standard Rhodes outside lever are served by the 03-234-RHO.

Corbin KIL Prep: Ordering the Correct Format

The 03-234-RHO bore is machined specifically to accept a Corbin Russwin conventional KIL cylinder. This is distinct from the 03-231-RHO (Rhodes Lever Less Cylinder), which is prepared for a standard Schlage KIL cylinder. If the installed lock uses a Schlage KIL cylinder, the 03-231-RHO is the correct lever. If the installed lock uses a Corbin Russwin conventional KIL cylinder, the 03-234-RHO is correct. A Corbin Russwin conventional KIL cylinder must be ordered separately.
