Marks USA MAR195LK 195LK Hospital/Privacy Lever Lockset — Grade 1 Survivor Series, American Lever

Marks USA 195LK Hospital/Privacy Lever Lockset — Grade 1 Survivor Series, American Lever

The Marks USA 195LK is a Grade 1 Survivor Series Hospital/Privacy Cylindrical Lever Lockset engineered for demanding commercial environments. Featuring a cast stainless steel retractor with bronze roller bearings, this lockset delivers ultra-high strength, smooth operation, and long service life. Operating under ANSI Function F76, the inside lever is locked by pushbutton and unlocked by emergency release outside, rotating inside lever, or closing the door — with the inside lever always free for immediate egress. The Survivor Series clutch mechanism disengages the outside lever when locked, allowing it to rotate freely without actuating the latch, dramatically reducing torque on the outside lever and eliminating the failure modes common to rigid-lever locksets.

Key Features

• Cast Stainless Steel Retractor: Precision-cast stainless steel retractor with bronze roller bearings provides ultra-high strength, smooth lever operation, and extended service life.
• Survivor Series Clutch Mechanism: When locked, the clutch disengages the outside lever so it turns freely without opening the latch, reducing torque and preventing the lever failures common in rigid-lever designs.
