- 09-366-RHO: Original part number for mortise lock trim applications. The 09 prefix in the legacy Schlage system identified mortise trim levers.

Standard vs Tactile: 03-235-RHO vs 03-235-8RO
The 03-235-RHO and the 03-235-8RO (Rhodes Tactile Lever, Corbin Russwin FSIC J-CO7) are both Rhodes levers prepared for the Corbin Russwin J-CO7 7-pin FSIC core. Both ship less core. Four differences distinguish them.
First, the handle surface. The 03-235-RHO has a smooth standard surface. The 03-235-8RO has a raised tactile surface for hazardous area door identification. Second, the NDE Series coverage. The 03-235-RHO is documented in five Service Manuals including NDE. The 03-235-8RO is documented in four Service Manuals and does not include NDE. Third, availability. The 03-235-RHO is confirmed In Stock. Fourth, the product type designation. The 03-235-RHO is "Full Size Interchangeable Core (FSIC) Lever Trim (Less Core)" while the 03-235-8RO, 03-235-8SP, and 03-235-8TR tactile levers include "FSIC/LFIC" in their product type. When replacing a standard Rhodes Corbin Russwin FSIC J-CO7 lever, confirm the original was not specified with the tactile designation before ordering.

The 03-235-RHO is compatible with Schlage AD Series, CO Series, ALX Series, ND Series, and NDE Series, as confirmed on the SecurityParts.com product page.
