The Schlage 03-277-8TR is the OEM Tubular Tactile Lever designed for Sargent Full-Size Interchangeable Core (FSIC / J-SAR) 6-pin applications, for the Schlage AD Series, CO Series, ALX Series, and ND Series cylindrical locks, documented in four official Schlage Service Manuals: ALX, ND, AD, and CO Series. Per the SecurityParts.com FAQ: "It is a genuine Schlage OEM Tubular tactile replacement lever prepared for a Sargent Full-Size Interchangeable Core (FSIC), supplied less core." The lever features knurled tactile grooves on the back of the handle. Supplied less cylinder. Non-handed. Original Part# 03-077-8TR. Available (3-4 weeks).

Tubular Tactile Profile in the Sargent FSIC Format

The 03-277-8TR uses the Tubular lever profile with knurled tactile grooves in the 03-277 Sargent FSIC format. Per the SecurityParts.com product page: "It is a genuine OEM Tubular-style exterior lever with a tactile warning grip, less cylinder, designed for Schlage commercial electronic and mechanical locksets utilizing a Sargent Full Size Interchangeable Core (FSIC / J-SAR) 6-pin cylinder." The knurled tactile grooves wrap around the back of the round Tubular handle, providing ADA-compliant tactile feedback for hazardous or restricted area door identification.

Per the FAQ: "This lever will not accept standard Key-in-Lever cylinders or Schlage-branded interchangeable cores. It is uniquely machined to seat the specific physical sizing and locking lug paths of a Sargent FSIC system." A compatible Sargent FSIC (J-SAR) 6-pin core must be sourced separately. The core is not included.

The Fourth and Final Tactile Design in the 03-277 Sargent FSIC Family

The 03-277-8TR completes the tactile lever lineup in the 03-277 Sargent FSIC family alongside the 03-277-8AT (Athens Tactile), 03-277-8RO (Rhodes Tactile), and 03-277-8SP (Sparta Tactile). All four are Available (3-4 weeks) at the same price, all supply less cylinder, and all are documented in four Service Manuals covering ALX, ND, AD, and CO Series. The only difference is the lever profile. The 03-277-8TR uses the Tubular design: a uniform round cylindrical rod handle that is visually distinct from all other profiles in the Schlage ND and ALX Series catalog. When a facility uses Tubular levers as its established standard and the installed core is a Sargent FSIC with a tactile designation required, the 03-277-8TR is the correct lever.

The 03-277-8TR is compatible with AD Series, CO Series, ALX Series, and ND Series locks configured for Sargent FSIC J-SAR cores. Per the FAQ: "It is compatible across Schlage's premium heavy-duty mechanical and electronic platforms, including ND Series cylindrical locks, ALX Series modular locks, as well as AD and CO Series electronic access control systems."
