Marks USA 175T Corridor Lever Lockset — Survivor Series, Clutch Mechanism, ADA Compliant
The Marks USA 175T is a Grade 1 Survivor Series Corridor Lever Lockset engineered for demanding commercial environments where durability and low maintenance are essential. Featuring a unique clutch mechanism, the levers disengage from the retractor and interior lock components when locked, allowing them to swing freely without resistance — eliminating lever droop and dramatically reducing wear on internal components. Designed for doors 1-5/8" to 1-7/8" thick (with optional K1704 spacer for 1-3/8" doors), this cylindrical lockset ships with a 2-3/4" backset and a MARKS "C" keyway 6-pin cylinder with 2 keys. ANSI/BHMA certified and UL Listed, it meets the rigorous demands of asylum, institution, and utility applications.
