The Schlage 03-244-8TR is the OEM Tubular Tactile Lever designed for Sargent conventional 6-pin Key-in-Lever (KIL) cylinder applications, for the Schlage AD Series, CO Series, ALX Series, and ND Series cylindrical locks, documented in two official Schlage Service Manuals: ALX Series and ND Series. Per the SecurityParts.com product page: "It is a genuine Schlage Tubular tactile exterior lever designed for KIL 6-pin Sargent cylinders and supplied less cylinder." The lever features knurled tactile grooves on the back of the handle for ADA compliance at hazardous or restricted area doors. Supplied less cylinder. Non-handed. Original Part# 03-044-8TR. Available (3-4 weeks).

Tubular Tactile Profile with Knurled Grooves

The 03-244-8TR uses the Tubular lever profile with a round cylindrical rod handle in the 03-244 Sargent 6-pin KIL format. The primary function is confirmed as "Accommodates a Sargent conventional 6-pin cylinder core for manual latch retraction while providing physical notification for visually impaired users." The knurled tactile grooves on the round Tubular handle wrap around the back of the handle surface, ensuring tactile feedback is detectable regardless of the user's grip approach angle on the round profile. A compatible Sargent conventional 6-pin KIL cylinder must be sourced separately and installed in the field. Per the FAQ: "The Sargent 6-pin conventional cylinder must be purchased separately."

Service Manual Coverage: Two Manuals vs Other 03-244 Levers

The 03-244-8TR is documented in two Service Manuals: the Schlage ALX Series Service Manual and the Schlage ND Series Service Manual. This is a notable difference from other levers in the 03-244 Sargent KIL tactile family. The 03-244-8AT (Athens Tactile) and 03-244-8RO (Rhodes Tactile) are each documented in four Service Manuals (ALX, ND, AD, CO). The 03-244-8SP (Sparta Tactile) is documented in five Service Manuals including NDE. When selecting a tactile Sargent KIL lever for AD Series, CO Series, or NDE Series applications, confirm the service manual coverage for the specific profile required before ordering the 03-244-8TR.
