Marks USA 195L Privacy Lever Lockset — Grade 1 Survivor Series, ADA Compliant, American Lever

The Marks USA 195L Privacy Lever Lockset is a Grade 1 commercial-grade cylindrical lockset from the Survivor Series, engineered for demanding applications where durability and long-term performance are essential. Featuring a unique clutch mechanism that disengages the levers from the retractor and interior lock components when locked, the Survivor Series dramatically reduces wear, eliminates lever droop, and extends the service life of the lockset. The cast retractor on bronze roller bearings provides a strong, durable chassis capable of lasting millions of cycles, making it an ideal Privacy/Bed/Bath (ANSI Function F76) solution for high-traffic commercial environments. ADA compliant and ANSI/BHMA and UL Listed, this lockset delivers professional-grade reliability with a 9/16" deadlocking latch throw and a 2-3/4" backset.

Key Features

• Survivor Series Clutch Mechanism: A unique clutch design disengages the levers from the retractor and interior mechanisms when locked, allowing levers to swing freely without resistance — dramatically reducing component wear and eliminating lever droop for a longer-lasting, lower-maintenance solution.
• Heavy-Duty Bronze Roller Bearing Chassis: Cast retractors on bronze roller bearings provide exceptional strength and durability, enabling the lockset to withstand millions of operational cycles in high-traffic commercial applications.
• Privacy/Bed/Bath Function (ANSI F76): Outside lever is locked by a pushbutton on the inside lever; rotating the inside lever or closing the door releases the button. An emergency release is provided in the outside lever for safety access.
• Deadlocking Latch: 9/16" deadlocking latch throw provides secure, positive latching with a front size of 1-1/8" x 2-1/4" and a standard 2-3/4" backset for straightforward installation in commercial doors.
• ANSI Strike Included: Supplied with an ANSI-standard strike measuring 1-1/4" x 4-7/8" with a 1-1/4" lip and square corner for reliable frame engagement.
• ADA Compliant Lever Design: The American Lever style meets ADA accessibility requirements, making this lockset suitable for public and commercial spaces requiring compliant hardware.
• Grade 1 Commercial Rating: ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 certified and UL Listed, meeting the highest standards for commercial door hardware durability and performance.
