Marks USA 195BHS-32D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Marks USA 195BHS anti-ligature lockset fit a standard 1-3/4 inch commercial door?
Yes, 1-3/4 inches is the door thickness the 195BHS is built for, and it's a single-thickness lock rather than an adjustable one. Standard prep is a 2-3/4 inch backset with a 1-1/8 x 2-1/4 inch latch front. If you're working on a thinner 1-3/8 inch older interior door, this isn't the lock for that opening.
2) Does the Marks 195BHS LifeSaver come with a strike, or do I need to order one separately?
A strike ships with it: Strike #1135, an ANSI 4-7/8 inch curved lip strike, 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inches with a 1-1/4 inch lip and square corners. That's the full ASA frame prep, so if your frame is already cut for a 4-7/8 inch ASA strike the 195BHS drops straight in. Latch #1834 with a stainless nose is included too.
3) Will a 1/2 inch latch throw hold in my existing frame strike?
The 195BHS latch throws 1/2 inch and it's deadlocking, which is what a fire-rated cylindrical lock uses. It's matched to the 4-7/8 inch ASA strike supplied with it. If your existing strike pocket was cut for a deeper mortise-lock latch, the 1/2 inch throw won't engage properly and you should reuse the supplied #1135 strike rather than the old one.
4) What does ANSI F109 mean in practice, and who locks and unlocks the door?
F109 on the 195BHS works off a pushbutton on the inside: push and turn it and the outside lever locks, requiring a key, and it stays locked until somebody manually unlocks the button. The inside always retracts the latch for free egress. That's an office/entrance style of control rather than the key-outside-only classroom function, so staff can secure the room from within without carrying a key.
5) Is the Marks 195BHS approved for a fire-rated door in a hospital or behavioral health unit?
It's UL Listed with a 3-hour fire rating and carries ANSI A156.2 Grade 1, plus ADA compliance for the operating trim. The anti-ligature slide meets the BHMA 156.34 Anti-Ligature Trim Standard, which is the standard specifiers cite for behavioral health openings. That combination is what lets one lock cover a fire-rated corridor door in a psychiatric or managed-care unit.
6) Why use an anti-ligature slide instead of a regular lever on a patient room door?
A conventional lever gives a patient a projecting point to tie off to. The D-Lig slide trim on the 195BHS is a 5-point ligature resistant design meeting BHMA 156.34, so there's nothing to loop a cord over, and it still operates without tight grasping or twisting for ADA. On staff-side corridors, back-of-house, and offices in the same building a standard Grade 1 lever like the Dorma C150 entry/office lockset covers the opening; the ligature-resistant trim is worth the money only where patients have unsupervised access.
7) What cylinder and keyway does the Marks 195BHS ship with, and can it go on an existing master key system?
As shipped it's a conventional key-in-knob cylinder in the Marks C keyway, 6-pin, with two keys. If your facility is already keyed to another manufacturer's system, it's available in interchangeable core and all OEM cylinder preps, so you can drop in the core your system already uses. A Marks Hi-Security cylinder is the other option where you want key control on a restricted keyway.
8) Will the Marks 195BHS retrofit the existing cylindrical lock prep on my doors?
It's built to retrofit popular door preps and constructions, with a 1-1/8 x 2-1/4 inch latch front and a 4-7/8 inch ASA strike, so on a door already cut for a standard Grade 1 cylindrical lock at a 2-3/4 inch backset it goes back in the same holes. The escutcheon is thru-bolted, which also lets it cover minor wear around an old prep. Doors at any thickness other than 1-3/4 inches are the case where it will not carry over.
9) What looks like a substitute for the Marks USA 195BHS but will not work on a behavioral health door?
Several Grade 1 cylindrical locks share the 195BHS bore and duty class but not its trim. The Schlage CO-100 is Grade 1 heavy duty at 1-3/4 inch with a keypad, but it is privacy function, not the entrance/office function the 195BHS carries. The CENTRIOS CEB100 is a Grade 1 smart Bluetooth cylindrical lock in privacy function. The Alarm Lock Trilogy 4100 is Grade 1 privacy as well, at 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch, which does not reach the 1-3/4 inch the 195BHS is prepared for in the same way. Beyond function, none of these carry a ligature-resistant slide trim, which is the reason the 195BHS is specified for behavioral health in the first place.
10) For a classroom intruder function rather than the Marks USA 195BHS classroom lockset, what is available?
The Marks USA 195BHS is a keyed Grade 1 cylindrical lockset where pushing and turning the inside button locks the outside lever until the button is manually unlocked, so securing the room is done from inside without a key. For an electronic take on that same intent, the TownSteel FCE-4000 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty RFID electronic intruder classroom cylindrical lockset at 1-3/4 inch, and the TownSteel XCE-9000 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty electronic classroom intruder lockset with a keypad covering 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. Both are classroom function and both rely on power, where the 195BHS is mechanical throughout.
11) Can I get the Marks 195BHS with a 2-3/8 inch backset for a narrower door prep?
Standard shipment is 2-3/4 inch, and 2-3/8 inch, 3-3/4 inch, and 5 inch backsets are available on request. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore before you order, because the wrong backset will not line up with an existing 161 prep. The 3-3/4 and 5 inch options exist for wide-stile and special institutional doors.
12) Should I use a mechanical anti-ligature lock or an electronic classroom lock for a secure facility?
The 195BHS is fully mechanical, so nothing fails when power or batteries drop, and it's the only one of these that carries ligature-resistant trim for patient-accessible doors. Where you need audit trail, code access, or credential management instead, the TownSteel FCE-2000 Grade 1 motorized RFID classroom lockset and the TownSteel XCE-9000 keypad classroom intruder lockset are Grade 1 electronic cylindrical options at the same 1-3/4 inch door thickness, and the Alarm Lock Trilogy T3 DL3200 adds audit trail on a keypad. Those are standard lever trim, not anti-ligature.
13) How durable is the Marks 195BHS on a high-traffic institutional door?
The stainless steel retractor is rated to three times the BHMA Grade 1 cycle standard, and Grade 1 is already the heaviest commercial rating. Mounting screws are tamper resistant and the escutcheon is thru-bolted, which matters more than cycle count on a door where someone is actively working at the hardware. For comparison, the Orca OCL250 entrance lockset and Dorma C501 dummy trim are Grade 2 medium duty, which is a different service class entirely.
14) I need a privacy function for a behavioral health bathroom, not entrance. Is the 195BHS the right part?
No. The 195BHS is an F109 entrance/office function, keyed with an inside pushbutton, so it's wrong for a bathroom or bedroom where you want privacy operation. Grade 1 privacy options include the Cal-Royal CAL20 extra heavy duty privacy lock, which fits 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and the Schlage CO-100 standalone electronic privacy lock at 1-3/4 inches. Neither of those carries anti-ligature trim, so for a patient-accessible bathroom you want a Marks LifeSaver privacy model rather than a standard privacy lever.
15) Is a keyless pushbutton lock an alternative to the Marks USA 195BHS on a secure institutional door?
The Marks USA 195BHS is a keyed Grade 1 commercial cylindrical lockset. Keyless mechanical pushbutton options sit in a different class: the Lockey 1600 is a heavy duty mechanical keyless knob lock with an adjustable backset covering 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Lockey 2830 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless knob lock in passage function over the same door range. Both are knob trim rather than a lever, which matters where ADA lever operation is required as it is on the 195BHS. For keyless operation with a lever and a key override, the Lockey E985 and E995 are electronic keypad lever locks covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.
16) If the opening needs audit trail or multiple user codes rather than a keyed cylinder like the Marks USA 195BHS, what cylindrical locks do that?
The Marks USA 195BHS controls access with a keyed cylinder. Where the facility wants codes and a record of use on a cylindrical prep instead, the Alarm Lock T3 DL3075 is a Grade 1 electronic cylindrical lock with audit trail and keypad access, and the Alarm Lock Trilogy T2 DL2700 is a Grade 1 standalone electronic entrance lock with a digital keypad, 100 user codes, and IC/SFIC compatibility on doors 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch. The Alarm Lock DL5200 is double-sided with 100 user capacity and battery operation over the same 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch range. The BEST 9KZ EZ Series adds a keypad with key override, keeping a mechanical path in.
17) Are the Accentra nexTouch NTB613 and the Kwikset 912TNL interchangeable with the Marks USA 195BHS?
No. The Marks USA 195BHS is a keyed Grade 1 commercial cylindrical lockset on a 1-3/4 inch door with a 2-3/4 inch backset. The Accentra nexTouch NTB613 is a Grade 1 cylindrical keypad lock in the nexTouch Series with pushbutton entry, so access is by code rather than by the cylinder the 195BHS uses. The Kwikset 912TNL SmartCode is an electronic Tustin lever with Z-Wave, keyed one side, across 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Neither carries the ligature-resistant slide trim that defines the 195BHS for behavioral health rooms.
18) What finish does the Marks USA 195BHS LifeSaver lockset come in?
US32D satin stainless steel is the finish, matching the solid cast stainless steel slide and escutcheon, so the whole trim is one material rather than plated. An antimicrobial finish (code AM) can be added where infection control drives the spec. Satin stainless is the usual institutional match for existing 630 hardware on the rest of a floor.
19) Can the Marks 195BHS be used in an X-ray room or imaging suite?
Yes, X-ray settings are one of the environments the LifeSaver 195BHS is built for, along with behavioral health institutions and correctional facilities. It's an all-mechanical Grade 1 lock with no electronics in the door, which is why it suits imaging rooms where electronic hardware is a problem, and the solid cast stainless construction stands up to the cleaning regimes those rooms get.
