Corbin Russwin 6-Pin KIL Cylinder: What the FAQ Confirms

The SecurityParts.com FAQ for the 03-234-SPA specifies that the lever is "prepared for Corbin Russwin 6-pin conventional Key-in-Lever (KIL) cylinders." The 6-pin designation confirms the cylinder pinning specification for this KIL prep configuration. A compatible Corbin Russwin 6-pin conventional KIL cylinder must be sourced separately and installed in the field. The cylinder is not included with the 03-234-SPA.

The 03-234 format is factory prepared for Corbin Russwin KIL cylinders specifically, which differs from the 03-231 format prepared for standard Schlage KIL cylinders. Installing a Schlage KIL cylinder into a 03-234-SPA bore will result in an incorrect fit. Confirm the cylinder type before ordering. If the installed lock uses a standard Schlage KIL cylinder, the 03-231-SPA (Sparta Lever Less Cylinder) is the correct part.

Standard vs Tactile: 03-234-SPA vs 03-234-8SP

The 03-234-SPA and the 03-234-8SP (Sparta Tactile Lever, Corbin KIL Prep) are both Sparta levers prepared for Corbin Russwin KIL cylinders. Three differences distinguish them. First, the handle surface: the 03-234-SPA has a smooth standard surface, the 03-234-8SP has a raised tactile surface. Second, the NDE Series coverage: the 03-234-SPA includes NDE (5 Service Manuals), while the 03-234-8SP does not (4 Service Manuals). Third, the availability: the 03-234-SPA is confirmed In Stock. When replacing a standard Sparta Corbin KIL lever, verify the original installation did not specify the tactile designation before ordering the 03-234-SPA.
