The Schlage 03-255-TLR Tubular Lever is a genuine OEM replacement lever designed for Schlage series locks configured for Yale FSIC (Full-Size Interchangeable Core) cylinders. Supplied less core for field installation of the compatible Yale FSIC.
The Schlage 03-255-TLR is the OEM Tubular Lever factory prepared for Yale 6-pin Full-Size Interchangeable Core (FSIC / J-YA6), for the Schlage AD Series, CO Series, ALX Series, ND Series, and NDE Series cylindrical locks, documented in five official Schlage Service Manuals including the NDE Series. Per the SecurityParts.com FAQ: "The Schlage 03-255-TLR is a genuine OEM Tubular-style exterior replacement lever handle designed to accept a 6-pin Yale Full Size Interchangeable Core (FSIC / J-YA6)." Supplied less core. Standard non-tactile Tubular lever with round cylindrical handle. Non-handed. In stock.
Two Legacy Part Numbers Replaced by the 03-255-TLR
The 03-255-TLR supersedes two legacy part numbers, as confirmed on the SecurityParts.com product page under "Original Part#."
- 09-355-TLR: Original part number covering both cylindrical lock and mortise lock outside trim applications using the Tubular Yale 6-pin FSIC lever.
- 03-355-TLR: Original part number for exit device outside trim applications.
Any maintenance record or specification referencing 09-355-TLR (cylindrical or mortise) or 03-355-TLR (exit device) maps to the 03-255-TLR as the current OEM replacement.
Tubular Profile in the Yale 6-Pin FSIC Format
The 03-255-TLR completes the 03-255 Yale 6-pin FSIC J-YA6 lever family alongside the 03-255-ATH (Athens), 03-255-RHO (Rhodes), and 03-255-SPA (Sparta). All four share the same price, the same five-series coverage including NDE, and the same two-legacy-number structure. The Tubular profile is the only distinction of the 03-255-TLR. The Tubular lever uses a uniform round cylindrical rod handle that is visually distinct from all other lever profiles in the Schlage ND and ALX Series catalog.
Per the SecurityParts.com FAQ: "This lever is uniquely milled to fit the distinct physical shell dimensions, depth tolerances, and locking lug paths of a Yale FSIC cylinder casing, meaning standard Schlage security cores will not seat." A compatible Yale 6-pin FSIC (J-YA6) core must be sourced separately and installed in the field. The core is not included with the 03-255-TLR. The 03-255 format is distinct from the 03-236 Yale 7-pin FSIC format, the 03-232 Schlage FSIC format, and all other interchangeable core lever formats.
Five-Series Coverage and Finishes
The 03-255-TLR is compatible with AD Series, CO Series, ALX Series, ND Series, and NDE Series. Per the SecurityParts.com product page: "This premium OEM component features Schlage's universal architectural trim engineering, enabling it to fit seamlessly onto AD Series, CO Series, ALX Series, and ND Series chassis configurations."
