Schlage 03-266 - Corbin LFIC Lever

Just the lever. The 03-266 is trim for a Schlage ND Series lock, with the function given as Lever Only, so it covers the handle side and not the chassis, latch or strike. It is the Corbin LFIC version of the ND lever, meaning it is built around a Corbin large format interchangeable core rather than another core type. Commercial product, sold as a replacement part, so the usual use is a lock that is already hung and working with a lever that is broken, worn, or being swapped for finish or accessibility reasons.

Non-handed. Every ND lever is reversible, so one part number covers both swings and you are not splitting a building order into left and right hand. Hand still matters at the lock itself rather than at the lever: on keyed functions it sets the cylinder orientation, and on a reverse bevel door it decides the finish of the latchbolt and strike. Give the hand when you are ordering a complete ND lock; for the lever on its own you do not need it.

Only ND locks set up for a Corbin large format interchangeable core. That is exactly what the 03-266 is, the Corbin LFIC lever in the ND range, and the lever body is made to carry that core. If the openings run Schlage full size interchangeable cores, small format cores, or a conventional cylinder, this is the wrong lever for them and you want the ND lever built for that core type instead. Pull a core out of one of the existing levers and confirm the format before you order a batch.

Yes, on both counts: ND Series levers comply with ANSI A117.1 and the Americans with Disabilities Act. The lever shape is what earns that, since it operates without tight grasping, pinching or twisting of the wrist, which is why lever trim goes on in place of knobs along accessible routes. That applies across all four designs offered here, Rhodes, Sparta, Athens and Tubular, so the accessibility question does not change with the design you pick.

Four designs: Rhodes (RHO), Sparta (SPA), Athens (ATH) and Tubular (TLR). Take the three letter design code off the original order or match the shape on an existing opening, then order the same one. All four designs are offered in all ten finishes, so a building already standardised on, say, Sparta in satin chrome can be topped up without a visual mismatch on a single door.

Matte black (622) is one of ten. The rest are bright brass (605), satin brass (606), satin bronze (612), oil rubbed bronze (613), satin nickel (619), bright chrome (625), satin chrome (626), antimicrobial satin chrome (626AM) and aged bronze (643E). Every finish is available with every lever design, so matching a black lever on one wing to satin chrome elsewhere in the building is a straight ordering decision, not a compromise on lever shape.

626AM, satin chrome with an antimicrobial finish, is offered on the ND Corbin LFIC lever in all four designs, Rhodes, Sparta, Athens and Tubular. It reads the same satin chrome as standard 626, so a facility can specify AM on patient rooms, exam rooms and other high touch openings and carry plain 626 through back of house without the hardware looking mismatched from one corridor to the next.

No. The 03-266 is trim, the lever by itself, for an ND Series lock that is already in the door, and its function is listed as Lever Only. Buying it will not give you a latching or keyed opening on its own. If the door needs a complete unit, buy something specified by lock function instead, for example the Cal-Royal CALDOR238 CAL101, which is a dormitory function dead latch. Keep the 03-266 for the case where the chassis is fine and only the lever is being replaced.

No, they do the two different halves of the job. The Schlage 03-266 is a Corbin LFIC lever for the ND Series - commercial lever trim with a lever only lock function, non-handed and reversible, so it changes the lever and the core arrangement on a chassis that is already in the door. The Cal-Royal CALDOR238 is a CAL101 dormitory dead latch and carries the dormitory function itself. Ordering the 03-266 for a door that needs dormitory operation gets you a lever, not the function.
