The Schlage 03-244-SPA is the OEM Sparta 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. Per the SecurityParts.com product page: "It is a genuine OEM Sparta-style exterior lever less cylinder designed for Schlage commercial electronic and mechanical locksets utilizing a Sargent Conventional Key-in-Lever (KIL) cylinder." Standard non-tactile Sparta lever. Supplied less cylinder. Non-handed. Original Part# 03-044-SPA. In stock.

Legacy Part Number and Ordering Note

The 03-244-SPA lists one original part number: 03-044-SPA, as confirmed on the SecurityParts.com product page. This single legacy number covers cylindrical lock outside trim applications. The 03-244-ATH (Athens) and 03-244-RHO (Rhodes) standard Sargent KIL levers each carry three legacy numbers covering cylindrical, mortise, and exit device applications separately. The 03-244-SPA page confirms only one legacy reference. When sourcing a replacement for a Sparta Sargent KIL lever from a mortise lock or exit device application, contact SecurityParts.com to confirm the current part number for those specific installation types.

Standard vs Tactile: 03-244-SPA vs 03-244-8SP

The 03-244-SPA is the standard non-tactile Sparta Sargent KIL lever. The 03-244-8SP is the tactile version with knurled tactile grooves on the handle for ADA hazardous area identification. Both accept a Sargent conventional 6-pin KIL cylinder and ship less cylinder. The 03-244-8SP is documented in five Service Manuals including NDE Series. The 03-244-SPA is documented for AD, CO, ALX, and ND Series. When replacing a standard Sparta Sargent KIL lever, confirm the original did not specify the tactile designation before ordering the 03-244-SPA.

NDE Series Coverage Note

The formal compatibility section on the SecurityParts.com product page lists AD Series, CO Series, ALX Series, and ND Series for the 03-244-SPA. The NDE Series is not included. This differs from the 03-244-ATH and 03-244-RHO standard Sargent KIL levers, both of which include NDE Series in their five-series compatibility. When a Sargent KIL configured NDE exit device outside trim requires a Sparta lever, confirm the correct specification before ordering the 03-244-SPA.
