The Schlage 03-235-TLR is the OEM Tubular Lever with preparation for the Corbin Russwin Full-Size Interchangeable Core (FSIC/LFIC) J-CO7 7-pin core, for the Schlage AD Series, CO Series, ALX Series, and ND Series cylindrical locks, documented in four official Schlage Service Manuals: AD, ALX, CO, and ND Series. Per the SecurityParts.com product page, the 03-235-TLR "accommodates a Corbin Russwin 7-pin FSIC (J-CO7) cylinder core insertion and transmits mechanical handle rotation to execute manual latch retraction." Standard non-tactile Tubular lever with round cylindrical handle. Supplied less core. Non-handed. Confirmed Original Part# 23854565 for cylindrical lock applications.

Tubular Profile in the Corbin Russwin FSIC J-CO7 Format

The 03-235-TLR uses the Tubular lever profile with a round cylindrical rod handle in the 03-235 Corbin Russwin FSIC/LFIC J-CO7 format. Per the SecurityParts.com product type field: "Full Size Interchangeable Core (FSIC / LFIC) Lever Trim (Less Core)." The FSIC/LFIC designation is consistent with the 03-235-SPA (Sparta) and the tactile 03-235-8SP and 03-235-8TR within the same format family. The Tubular lever provides a uniform round cross-section from hub to handle tip, which is visually distinct from all other lever profiles in the Schlage ND and ALX Series catalog.

The lever ships less core. A compatible Corbin Russwin J-CO7 7-pin FSIC core must be sourced separately and installed in the lever housing. The Corbin Russwin FSIC J-CO7 format is distinct from the Schlage FSIC format (03-232 prefix). Confirm the core type in the installed lock before ordering to ensure the correct lever format is selected.

Standard vs Tactile: 03-235-TLR vs 03-235-8TR

The 03-235-TLR and the 03-235-8TR (Tubular Tactile Lever, Corbin Russwin FSIC J-CO7) are both Tubular levers prepared for the Corbin Russwin J-CO7 FSIC core. The 03-235-TLR has a smooth standard handle surface. The 03-235-8TR has a raised tactile surface for hazardous area door identification. Both cover AD and CO Series in their formal compatibility lists, but the 03-235-TLR additionally covers ALX and ND Series. Confirm the original specification before ordering to avoid installing a standard lever at a position that requires the tactile designation.

03-235-TLR vs 03-235-RHO: NDE Series Note

Within the standard non-tactile 03-235 levers, the 03-235-RHO (Rhodes) is documented in five Service Manuals including the NDE Series. The 03-235-TLR and 03-235-SPA (Sparta) are documented in four Service Manuals without NDE. When NDE exit device outside trim configured for Corbin Russwin J-CO7 FSIC cores requires a Tubular lever, confirm the correct specification through the NDE Series Service Manual before ordering the 03-235-TLR.
