Rhodes Tactile Profile in the Corbin Russwin J-CO6 6-Pin Format
The 03-266-8RO uses the Rhodes lever profile with a tactile surface in the 03-266 Corbin Russwin LFIC J-CO6 format. Per the SecurityParts.com FAQ: "The Schlage 03-266-8RO is a genuine OEM Rhodes tactile exterior lever designed for Schlage commercial cylindrical locksets using a Corbin Russwin FSIC J-CO6." The tactile surface provides safety feedback by touch for hazardous area door identification at outside trim positions where the Corbin Russwin J-CO6 core and the tactile designation are both specified.
The 03-266 format accepts the Corbin Russwin J-CO6 (6-pin) interchangeable core. Per the FAQ: "This lever is designed for a Corbin Russwin Full Size Interchangeable Core (FSIC) J-CO6." A compatible Corbin Russwin J-CO6 FSIC core must be sourced separately. The 03-266 family is distinct from the 03-235 Corbin Russwin J-CO7 (7-pin) family. Confirm the pin count and keyway designation of the installed core before ordering.
03-266-8RO vs 03-266-8AT: Rhodes vs Athens Tactile J-CO6
The 03-266-8RO and the 03-266-8AT (Athens Tactile Lever, Corbin Russwin FSIC J-CO6) are both tactile levers in the 03-266 Corbin Russwin J-CO6 format. Both are Available (3-4 weeks) at the same price, both supply less core, and both are documented in four Service Manuals covering ALX, ND, AD, and CO Series. The only difference is the lever profile. The 03-266-8RO uses the Rhodes design. When a building uses Rhodes levers as its established standard and the installed core is a Corbin Russwin J-CO6 LFIC with the tactile designation required, the 03-266-8RO is the correct lever.
