Marks USA 195BHB-32D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Marks USA 195BHB anti-ligature lever work on a 1-3/8 inch door?
No. The 195BHB LifeSaver is built for 1-3/4 inch doors only, which is the standard commercial thickness. On a 1-3/8 inch opening you need a lock with a thickness range that reaches down there, like the Cal-Royal CAL30 Calypso, rated 1-3/8 to 2 inches, or the Dorma C853 at 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches. Note both of those are conventional lever locks, not ligature resistant trim.
2) Will the Marks 195BHB drop into my existing 2-3/4 inch backset door prep and hit the same strike?
Standard backset on the 195BHB is 2-3/4 inches, the usual commercial bored prep, and it also comes in 2-3/8, 3-3/4, and 5 inch. The strike is a 4-7/8 inch ASA curved lip, ANSI 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 with a 1-1/4 inch lip and square corner, so if your frame already has an ASA 4-7/8 prep the new strike sits in the existing cutout. Latch face is 1-1/8 x 2-1/4 inches, deadlocking with a 1/2 inch throw.
3) What does the D-Lig slide trim on the Marks LifeSaver 195BHB actually do for a behavioral health room?
The D-Lig is a solid cast stainless steel slide, ligature resistant at 5 points, and it moves freely whether the lock is locked or unlocked, so there is nothing on the door face for a patient to tie off to and no fixed lever to hang weight on. Marks builds it to the BHMA 156.34 anti-ligature trim standard. That is the whole reason to specify the 195BHB over a normal Grade 1 lever on a psychiatric or detention opening.
4) Can I use the Marks 195BHB on a 3-hour fire rated door?
Yes. The 195BHB is UL Listed for a 3-hour fire rating and meets ANSI A156.2 Grade 1, so it holds on rated corridor and stair openings in a hospital or correctional building. The latch is deadlocking, which is what a rated opening needs to stay latched under pressure.
5) How does the F109 entry function on the Marks 195BHB lock and unlock day to day?
F109 entrance/office: push and turn the button on the inside and the outside lever is locked, requiring a key, and it stays locked until somebody manually unlocks the button. It does not release when the inside is operated. For a med room or an office in a behavioral unit that is what staff want; for a patient bathroom you want a privacy function instead, such as the Cal-Royal CAL20 Calypso.
6) Can I retrofit the Marks 195BHB onto doors that already have other manufacturers' cylindrical lock preps?
The LifeSaver series is built to retrofit all popular door preps and constructions, so on an existing bored opening you are generally reusing the cross bore rather than redrilling. Match the backset first: standard is 2-3/4 inches, with 2-3/8, 3-3/4, and 5 inch also offered, and the door has to be 1-3/4 inches thick.
7) What is the closest Grade 1 cylindrical entry lever to the Marks USA 195BHB for a standard commercial opening that does not need anti-ligature trim?
The Dorma C150 is a Grade 1 cylindrical lock in Entrance/Office function, the same function family the Marks USA 195BHB carries, and it fits doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The 195BHB is built around a 5-point ligature resistant D-Lig slide trim meeting the BHMA 156.34 Anti-Ligature Trim Standard and is fixed to 1-3/4 inch door thickness. On a corridor or office door where nothing about the trim profile matters, the C150 covers the same Grade 1 keyed-entry duty; on a behavioral health room door, the D-Lig slide on the 195BHB is the reason to specify it.
8) Can a Dorma C853 be used in place of a Marks USA 195BHB on a patient room door?
The Dorma C853 is a Grade 1 entry keyed single cylinder lever lockset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, so it matches the 195BHB on grade and on keyed entry duty. It is a conventional lever, though. The Marks USA 195BHB uses a cast stainless steel D-Lig slide trim that meets the BHMA 156.34 Anti-Ligature Trim Standard and moves freely in both locked and unlocked positions - a projecting lever is what that trim exists to eliminate. For patient rooms, psychiatric units, and detention openings, the C853 is not a substitute for the 195BHB; for staff offices and back-of-house doors on the same floor, it is a direct Grade 1 keyed-entry equivalent.
9) If the facility wants credential or keypad access on behavioral health doors instead of a key, what replaces the Marks USA 195BHB?
The Marks USA 195BHB is a mechanical keyed lockset with a 6-pin Marks C keyway cylinder and two keys. Moving to electronic access on the same 1-3/4 inch door means a different platform: the TownSteel FCE-2000 is a Grade 1 heavy duty standalone motorized RFID cylindrical lockset in classroom function for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Schlage XE360M is a Grade 1 wireless tubular lock in classroom/storeroom function for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Alarm Lock DL2700 is a Grade 1 standalone electronic cylindrical lock with a digital keypad for 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors. All three change the trim to an electronic escutcheon or reader, so the 5-point D-Lig ligature resistant slide of the 195BHB does not carry over.
10) What keying do I get with the Marks 195BHB, and can it go on our existing master key system?
It ships as a conventional key-in-knob cylinder in the Marks C keyway, 6-pin, with two keys. If your facility is on an interchangeable core system or another manufacturer's keyway, order it in IC prep or one of the OEM cylinder preps Marks offers, and there is a Marks Hi-Security cylinder if you want a patented, controlled key for a drug room or a detention area.
11) Is the Marks 195BHB durable enough for a high traffic institutional door?
The stainless steel retractor is rated at three times the BHMA Grade 1 cycle standard, and the escutcheon is solid cast stainless, thru-bolted with tamper resistant mounting screws so it cannot be pulled off the door face. It carries ANSI A156.2 Grade 1, the heaviest commercial grade. For a unit door taking constant use that is the point of the LifeSaver over a Grade 2 lever like the Orca OCL250.
12) Is a mechanical anti-ligature lever like the Marks 195BHB the right choice, or should I be looking at an electronic access control lock?
Pick the 195BHB when the opening is in a behavioral health, psychiatric, or detention area and ligature resistance is the governing requirement. It is mechanical, keyed, with no batteries and nothing to fail. If instead you need credentials, audit trail, or code-based access on a normal institutional door, that is a different lock: the Schlage NDEB ENGAGE wireless Grade 1, the TownSteel XCE-2000 keypad, or the Alarm Lock Trilogy T2 DL2700 with 100 user codes. None of those carry ligature resistant trim.
13) Does the Marks 195BHB meet ADA for an accessible opening?
Yes, the 195BHB is ADA compliant. The D-Lig slide operates without tight grasping or twisting of the wrist, and it moves freely in both the locked and unlocked positions.
14) What comes in the box with the Marks 195BHB lockset?
Latch #1834 with a stainless steel nose, deadlocking with a 1/2 inch throw, plus strike #1135, the 4-7/8 inch ASA curved lip strike, the cast stainless D-Lig slide trim, tamper resistant thru-bolt mounting screws, and the 6-pin Marks C keyway cylinder with two keys. On a retrofit the only thing you typically add is a frame filler or a new strike prep if the existing frame is not ASA.
15) Is there a non-keyed passage version of the Marks USA 195BHB, or a passage lever I can pair with it on the same corridor?
The Marks USA 195BHB is a keyed cylindrical lock with a Marks C keyway conventional key-in-knob cylinder. For openings on the same run that need free passage with no locking, the Cal-Royal CAL30 is a Grade 1 passage lockset in the Calypso series for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Orca OCL210 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage cylindrical lockset. The CAL30 matches the 195BHB on Grade 1 duty; the OCL210 sits at Grade 2 medium duty, which is the trade-off on a lower-traffic closet or utility door.
16) The Stanley QCL150 is described as a Grade 1 entry lever - is it the same class of lock as the Marks USA 195BHB?
They are close on the opening but not on duty rating. The Stanley QCL150 is an entrance-function lever from the QCL100 series, a Sierra bent lever on a rose with a square 2-3/4 inch backset latch and a 4-7/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch ASA strike, and it carries a Grade 2 rating. The Marks USA 195BHB is ANSI A156.2 Grade 1 with the same 2-3/4 inch backset and the same ANSI 1-1/4 inch by 4-7/8 inch square corner strike classification, so the door prep and strike cut line up. Where they part is the grade and the trim: the 195BHB uses a solid cast stainless steel escutcheon with the D-Lig slide, thru-bolted with tamper resistant screws, against the QCL150 rose-and-lever arrangement.
17) Will a Lockey mechanical keyless lock work where the Marks USA 195BHB is specified?
They solve different problems. The Lockey 1600 is a heavy duty mechanical keyless knob lock with an adjustable backset for doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Lockey 2830 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless knob lock with an auto-locking passage function over the same 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch range. Both are knob trim operated by a pushbutton combination. The Marks USA 195BHB is a keyed Grade 1 lever-function lockset that is UL Listed for a 3-hour fire rating and is ADA compliant. On a fire-rated or accessible opening, or anywhere a key system is being maintained, the Lockey knob locks do not stand in for it.
18) What do I order for the inactive or dummy side of an opening where the Marks USA 195BHB is on the active leaf?
The Marks USA 195BHB is a keyed cylindrical lock in Entrance/Office function with a deadlocking latch and a 1/2 inch throw. For a leaf that only needs pull trim, the Dorma C501 is a single dummy trim keyless lever lockset, Grade 2, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Orca OCL2170 is a Grade 2 medium duty half dummy lever. Both are non-latching trim and carry no cylinder, so they take no part in the keying that the 195BHB Marks C keyway cylinder belongs to.
19) For a classroom-intruder requirement in a secure campus building, what covers that instead of the Marks USA 195BHB?
The Marks USA 195BHB is an F109 entry/office lock: the inside button locks the outside lever until a key is used or the button is released by hand. That is not a classroom-intruder arrangement. The TownSteel FCE-4000 is a Grade 1 heavy duty RFID electronic intruder classroom cylindrical lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the TownSteel XCE-9000 is a Grade 1 heavy duty electronic classroom intruder cylindrical lockset with a keypad for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Both are electronic platforms; the 195BHB remains the mechanical Grade 1 choice where the ligature resistant D-Lig trim is the governing requirement.
20) Which alternatives to the Marks USA 195BHB accept an interchangeable core so the facility keying stays on one system?
The Marks USA 195BHB is supplied with a conventional key-in-knob cylinder in the Marks C keyway, 6-pin with two keys, and is available in IC and all OEM cylinder preps, with a Marks Hi-Security cylinder as an option. Among the electronic alternatives, the Alarm Lock Trilogy T2 DL2700 is a Grade 1 standalone electronic cylindrical lock that is IC/SFIC compatible for 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors, and the BEST 9KZ EZ series is an electronic keypad cylindrical lock with a key override function. Those give a keyed path alongside credential access; the 195BHB keeps the whole opening mechanical.
21) Is the Orca OCL250 entrance lockset an equivalent to the Marks USA 195BHB?
They share the entry-keyed duty and nothing above it. The Orca OCL250 is a Grade 2 medium duty keyed entrance cylindrical lockset. The Marks USA 195BHB is ANSI A156.2 Grade 1 commercial hardware, UL Listed for a 3-hour fire rating, with a stainless steel retractor rated at 3X the BHMA Grade 1 cycle standard and a solid cast stainless steel escutcheon. On a light-traffic keyed door with no fire label, the OCL250 does the entry function; on an institutional opening carrying a fire rating or heavy cycle counts, the 195BHB is the one built to that duty.
22) If the opening needs to be released from an access control panel rather than by key, what takes the place of the Marks USA 195BHB?
The Marks USA 195BHB is a mechanical keyed lockset with no electrical connection. For a door tied to a card reader or panel, the SDC Electra 7200 is a solenoid controlled cylindrical lock running dual voltage 12/24VDC for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the SDC E75 is a battery-powered electronic cylindrical lockset with keypad access control for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/8 inch doors. The 7200 needs power and a transfer path to the door; the E75 runs on batteries at the lock. Both replace the trim, so the D-Lig ligature resistant slide of the 195BHB does not come with them.
23) Does the Marks 195BHB come in anything besides satin stainless?
Finish is US32D satin stainless steel, and that is the only one. The whole lock is stainless steel construction, which is what holds up to cleaning chemicals and abuse in a behavioral or detention setting. If you need infection control on top of it, Marks offers the antimicrobial finish option, code AM.
24) Can I use a Kwikset SmartCode 912TNL on the doors where the Marks USA 195BHB is specified?
The Kwikset 912TNL ZW500 is a SmartCode electronic Tustin lever with Z-Wave, keyed one side, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Marks USA 195BHB is ANSI A156.2 Grade 1 commercial hardware, UL Listed for a 3-hour fire rating, with anti-ligature D-Lig trim to the BHMA 156.34 standard. Behavioral health, correctional, and fire-rated institutional openings are written to those ratings, and the 912TNL is a different class of product aimed at a projecting lever with a home automation radio. It is not an alternate for the 195BHB on a rated institutional door.
