Marks USA 195AB-26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Marks USA 195AB entry lever fit a door already prepped for a 2-3/4 inch backset cylindrical lock?
Yes. The 195AB is built on a 2-3/4 inch backset, which is the standard commercial bore prep, and it ships with a latch front measuring 1-1/8 x 2-1/4 inches. If your existing door has the common residential 2-3/8 inch backset instead, the bore will not line up. Measure from the door edge to the center of the 2-1/8 inch cross bore before ordering.
2) Will the Marks 195AB latch into the strike that is already in my frame?
Depends on what strike you have. The 195AB uses a deadlocking latch with a 9/16 inch throw, and it comes with an ANSI strike measuring 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inches with a 1-1/4 inch lip and square corners. If your frame is already prepped for that ANSI (ASA) cutout, the supplied strike drops right in. A frame cut for a small T-strike or a round-corner strike will need the opening enlarged or a filler plate.
3) What does ANSI function F109 actually do on an entry lever, and is the door still safe to exit?
F109 is the turn/push-button entry function. Push and turn the button on the inside and the outside lever locks, staying locked until someone turns the button back or uses a key. The inside lever is always free, so anyone in the room can walk out in one motion without unlocking anything first. That is what makes it workable on office and tenant doors that need to be secured from the corridor side but must never trap anyone inside.
4) Is the Marks 195AB rated for high-traffic commercial doors or is it a residential-grade lock?
Strictly commercial. The 195AB carries ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 and is UL Listed, and Marks rates the Survivor Series at over 3.6 million cycles, which is 300 percent past the Grade 1 requirement. The internal stainless steel clutch and bronze bearings are what get it there: the clutch lets the outside lever spin free under abuse instead of transmitting force into the chassis, and the bearings are what stop lever droop on a door that gets used a few hundred times a day.
5) What is the difference between the standard and less cylinder versions of the Marks 195AB?
The standard version comes with a Marks cylinder already installed and keyed. The less cylinder version ships without one, so you supply your own mortise cylinder to match a keyway your building is already on. Locksmiths and facilities running a master key system almost always take less cylinder; a one-off door replacement usually takes standard. Both versions come in the same three finishes.
6) Can I order Marks 195AB locksets keyed alike so one key opens every door?
Yes. Keying is a required selection on the 195AB and the choices are keyed different, keyed alike, or none if you are taking the less cylinder version. Keyed alike puts every lock in the order on one key, which is what a property manager wants for a set of utility or common-area doors. Keyed different gives each door its own key. Order the whole group in one go, since a keyed alike set is cut together.
7) The Marks USA 195AB is keyed entry - what should I use on a restroom or bedroom door instead?
For a privacy opening, the Cal-Royal CAL20 is a Grade 1 extra heavy duty privacy lock in the Calypso Series fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Orca Hardware OCL240 is a Grade 2 medium duty privacy cylindrical lockset. The Marks USA 195AB is an entry lockset whose outside lever locks by pushing and turning the inside button and then requires a key until it is manually unlocked, which is not a privacy release.
8) Does the Stanley QCL200 use the same strike as the Marks USA 195AB?
No. The Stanley Security QCL200 cylindrical lock is furnished keyed different with an SC keyway and a 118F ANSI 1-1/8 inch x 2-3/4 inch strike. The Marks USA 195AB comes with an ANSI 1-1/4 inch x 4-7/8 inch strike with a 1-1/4 inch lip and square corner. Those are two different frame preps, so verify what the jamb is cut for before ordering either one as a replacement for the other.
9) Is the Marks 195AB lever ADA compliant for a public building entrance?
Yes. The 195AB uses an American lever design that meets ADA accessibility requirements, so it operates without grasping, pinching, or twisting the wrist. That is the reason a lever goes on a public-side door instead of a knob. For a facility standardizing on accessible hardware across offices and tenant suites, this is the entry function version.
10) What finishes does the Marks 195AB entry lever come in, and will it match the rest of my building?
Three finishes: US26D satin chrome, US10B oil-rubbed dark bronze, and US3 bright brass. Satin chrome is the workhorse on commercial and institutional openings and is the one to pick if you are matching existing hollow metal hardware. Bright brass and dark bronze are the ones to check against your other doors before committing, since bronze in particular varies in tone between manufacturers.
11) Should I use a mechanical entry lever like the Marks 195AB or go with an electronic keypad lock?
Pick the mechanical 195AB when the door needs to be locked and unlocked by whoever is standing there, with a key for re-entry, and you do not want batteries in the field. Go electronic when you need codes issued and revoked without rekeying, or an audit trail. Among Grade 1 cylindrical alternatives, the Alarm Lock Trilogy T2 DL2700 is a standalone keypad lock with 100 user codes and IC/SFIC compatibility, and the Schlage NDEB is a Bluetooth wireless Grade 1 lock for mobile credentials. Both add battery maintenance the 195AB does not have.
12) I need a lever on an interior door that does not lock. Is the Marks 195AB the right part?
No. The 195AB is a keyed entry lockset with F109 push-button locking, so it is more lock than a closet or corridor door needs. For a non-locking opening, look at a passage function lever like the Cal-Royal CAL30 Calypso Series, a Grade 1 extra heavy duty passage lock for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches thick. For a bathroom or bedroom you want privacy function, such as the Cal-Royal CAL20, also Grade 1 and the same thickness range.
13) Does a deadlocking latch on the Marks 195AB actually stop someone from carding the door?
That is the point of it. The 195AB latch is a deadlocking type, meaning a small auxiliary plunger sits alongside the latchbolt and rides on the strike face when the door closes, blocking the bolt from being pushed back with a card or shim. It only works if the strike is installed so the plunger lands on the strike plate and not in the strike opening. With the 9/16 inch throw, seat the strike so the door pulls up tight and the plunger stays depressed.
14) What is a lighter-duty alternative to the Marks USA 195AB for a lower-traffic keyed door?
The Orca Hardware OCL250 is a Grade 2 medium duty entrance cylindrical lockset, and the Stanley Security QCL150 is a Grade 2 entry lever in the QCL100 Series with a square 2-3/4 inch backset latch and a 4-7/8 inch x 1-1/4 inch ASA strike, offered less cylinder. The Marks USA 195AB is a Grade 1 commercial cylindrical lockset. The Stanley QCL150 shares the 2-3/4 inch backset and ANSI strike dimensions the 195AB uses, so the door prep carries over.
15) Can I use a keypad lock in place of the Marks USA 195AB on the same door?
Several Grade 1 cylindrical keypad locks cover the same door type: the Alarm Lock Trilogy T2 DL2700 is a Grade 1 standalone electronic cylindrical lock with a digital keypad, 100 user codes and IC/SFIC compatibility for doors 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch thick, the TownSteel XCE-2000 is a Grade 1 heavy duty electronic cylindrical lockset with keypad for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the SDC E75 Series is a battery-powered electronic cylindrical lockset with keypad access control for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/8 inch doors. The Marks USA 195AB is a mechanical cylindrical lockset locked by a push-and-turn inside button and reopened with a key, so a keypad swap changes how credentials are issued and adds a battery to maintain. Note the narrower door thickness window on the DL2700.
16) I need a keyed lever with an interchangeable core - how does that compare to the Marks USA 195AB?
The Marks USA 195AB is offered in a Less Cylinder model in US10B oil-rubbed dark bronze, US26D satin chrome and US3 bright brass, so the cylinder can be supplied separately. Among electronic peers, the Alarm Lock Trilogy T2 DL2700 is IC/SFIC compatible and the BEST 9KZ EZ Series is an electronic keypad cylindrical lock with a key override function. The Stanley Security QCL150 entry lever is likewise supplied less cylinder. Match the keyway and core format to the existing system before ordering any of them.
17) Is the Kwikset SmartCode 912TNL an alternative to the Marks USA 195AB for a commercial entrance?
The Kwikset 912TNL ZW500 SmartCode is an electronic Tustin lever with Z-Wave technology, keyed one side, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. The Marks USA 195AB is a Grade 1 commercial cylindrical lockset, UL Listed and ADA compliant. On a commercial entrance written to a Grade 1 line item, the 195AB or another Grade 1 lockset such as the Dorma C853 answers the specification.
