Marks USA 195RAB Entry Clutched Lever Lockset — Grade 1 Survivor Series, Less Core, American Lever

The Marks USA 195RAB is a commercial-grade Entry Clutched Lever Lockset from the Survivor Series, engineered for exceptional durability and long-term performance in high-demand applications. Featuring a cast stainless steel retractor with bronze roller bearings, this cylindrical lockset delivers ultra-high strength, smooth operation, and extended service life. The innovative clutch mechanism disengages the outside lever when locked, allowing it to rotate freely without actuating the latch — eliminating the excessive torque that causes rigid-lever locksets to fail prematurely. Rated to exceed BHMA Grade 1 specifications by 300% with over 3.6 million cycles, the 195RAB is backed by the Marks lifetime mechanical warranty and is ADA compliant for broad commercial applicability.

Key Features

  • Exceeds BHMA Grade 1 by 300%: Tested to over 3.6 million cycles — far surpassing standard Grade 1 requirements — for unmatched long-term reliability in high-traffic commercial environments.
  • Unique Clutch Mechanism: Stainless steel clutch disengages the outside lever when locked, allowing it to turn freely without opening the latch, dramatically reducing torque-related wear and lever droop.
  • Cast Stainless Steel Retractor with Bronze Roller Bearings: Precision-engineered construction delivers ultra-high strength, smooth lever operation, and extended service life with lower maintenance requirements.
  • ANSI Function F109 — Push/Turn Button Locking: Pushing and turning the inside button locks the outside lever, requiring a key for entry until the button is manually unlocked; the inside lever always remains free for immediate egress.
  • Deadlocking Latch: 9/16" latch throw with deadlocking latch type and a 2-3/4" backset for secure, reliable door latching in commercial applications.
  • Front & Strike Dimensions: Front size 1-1/8" x 2-1/4"; ANSI strike sized 1-1/4" x 4-7/8" with 1-1/4" lip and square corner for standard commercial door prep compatibility.
  • ADA Compliant: Lever design meets ADA accessibility requirements, making it suitable for public and commercial facilities requiring accessible hardware.
  • Marks Lifetime Mechanical Warranty: Backed by Marks USA's lifetime mechanical warranty for added confidence and long-term value.

Marks USA 195RAB/26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Marks USA 195RAB lever lock work with my existing 2-3/4 inch backset door prep?
Yes. The 195RAB is built on a 2-3/4 inch backset, which is the standard commercial bore spacing, so it drops into an opening already prepped for a commercial cylindrical lockset. The latch front measures 1-1/8 x 2-1/4 inches and the strike is the ANSI 4-7/8 x 1-1/4 inch with a 1-1/4 inch lip, square corner. If your frame already has an ANSI strike prep, the strike lines up without new frame work.
2) What does the F109 entry function on the Marks 195RAB actually do at the door?
F109 is push-and-turn button locking. You push and turn the button on the inside, and the outside lever locks and stays locked until someone manually unlocks the button, so it does not release when the inside lever is used. Key entry from outside works the whole time. The inside lever is always free, so egress is never blocked. That is the behavior most people want on an office or tenant door that gets locked at the end of the day, not a classroom door where a key should set the lock from the outside.
3) Do I need to order a cylinder separately for the Marks USA 195RAB, and which cores does it take?
The 195RAB ships less core, so a core is a separate line on your order. It is offered set up for small format IC, Schlage 6-pin IC, or Medeco large format IC. Pick the one that matches the keying system already running in the building, and the lock keys into your existing master system rather than starting a second one.
4) Is the Marks USA 195RAB ADA compliant for a public building?
Yes. The 195RAB uses a lever design that meets ADA accessibility requirements, so it operates without tight grasping, pinching, or wrist twisting. That makes it usable on the accessible route in offices, schools, healthcare, retail, and government buildings. It is a Grade 1 commercial lock and it is UL Listed.
5) Is there a keyed entry lever that takes a full cylinder instead of an interchangeable core?
The Dorma C853 is a keyed entry lever built around a single cylinder. It is Grade 1 in the Entrance function, part of the C800 Series, and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick. The Marks USA 195RAB is supplied less core and is ordered against a core option -- Small Format IC, Schlage 6 Pin IC Core, or Medeco IC Large Format Core -- so it suits a facility already running an interchangeable-core keying system, while the C853 suits a single-cylinder keyway.
6) Can I use a Stanley QCL150 entry lever in place of the Marks USA 195RAB?
The Stanley Security QCL150 is an entry lever with a square 2-3/4 inch backset latch and an ASA strike 4-7/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch, matching the 2-3/4 inch backset and ANSI 1-1/4 inch by 4-7/8 inch strike the Marks USA 195RAB uses, so the door prep carries over. The QCL150 is Grade 2 in the QCL100 Series and is supplied less cylinder; the 195RAB is Grade 1. Confirm which grade the opening is specified to before swapping.
7) Will a dummy lever work where the Marks USA 195RAB is being used?
No, and it is a common mix-up on paired openings. The Dorma C501 is a single dummy trim keyless lever -- Grade 2, C500 Series, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch -- and the Orca OCL2170 is a Grade 2 medium duty half dummy lever. Neither has a latch or a cylinder; they are surface trim for an inactive leaf. The Marks USA 195RAB is a keyed cylindrical lock with a 9/16 inch deadlocking latch and F109 push/turn button locking, so it is what goes on the active leaf.
8) Will a 9/16 inch latch throw deadlatch into a standard ANSI strike?
Yes. The 195RAB uses a deadlocking latch with a 9/16 inch throw, paired with the ANSI 4-7/8 x 1-1/4 inch strike with a 1-1/4 inch lip. The deadlocking feature means the auxiliary plunger rides the strike face and blocks the latch from being carded or shimmed back, which is what you want on any exterior or tenant-entry door. It only deadlocks if the strike is set so the plunger lands on metal, not in the strike pocket, so gap and alignment matter more here than the throw number does.
9) What is the clutch mechanism on the Marks Survivor Series and why does it matter for high traffic doors?
Lever droop and torn-out retractors are what kill cylindrical locks in busy buildings, because people yank a locked lever hard. On the 195RAB the stainless clutch disengages the outside lever when the lock is set, so the lever spins free instead of transmitting that force into the latch train. Combined with a cast stainless retractor on bronze roller bearings, that is how it reaches over 3.6 million cycles, exceeding BHMA Grade 1 by 300 percent. On a school corridor or a multi-tenant lobby door, that is the difference between a lock you replace and one you leave alone.
10) Should I use a keyed mechanical entry lockset like the Marks 195RAB or go with an electronic cylindrical lock?
Go mechanical when the door just needs to be locked and unlocked by staff with a key and you do not need an audit trail, codes, or credential management. The 195RAB is a keyed F109 entry lock with push-turn button locking and nothing to power or maintain. If you need user codes or access records instead, the same door prep takes electronic cylindrical locks such as the Alarm Lock Trilogy T2 DL2700, which is Grade 1 and IC/SFIC compatible with 100 user codes, or the Schlage NDEB ENGAGE wireless lock. Those bring battery replacement and programming with them; the mechanical lock does not.
11) What is a comparable Grade 1 entry function cylindrical lever lock to the Marks 195RAB?
The closest straight equivalent we carry is the Dorma C150, a Grade 1 heavy-duty cylindrical lock in entry/office function with a 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range. The Dorma C853 is another Grade 1 entry lever, single cylinder, C800 Series, same thickness range. Where the 195RAB separates itself is the clutched outside lever and the 3.6 million cycle rating. If you only need Grade 2 entry duty, the Orca OCL250 or the Stanley QCL150 entry lever are lighter-duty options.
12) I need a bathroom or storeroom lock, not an entry lock. Is the 195RAB right?
No. The 195RAB is entry/office function, meaning it is keyed outside with a push-turn button inside, so it is wrong for a restroom or a storeroom. For privacy, look at the Cal-Royal CAL20 Grade 1 privacy lock, which covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, or the Orca OCL240 privacy lockset. For a door that stays unlocked, the Cal-Royal CAL30 Grade 1 passage lock has the same 1-3/8 to 2 inch range.
13) Can I standardize a whole building on the Marks 195RAB across different keyways?
Yes, that is the point of ordering it less core. Buy the lock body and lever once, then core it to whatever the building runs: small format IC, Schlage 6-pin IC, or Medeco large format. A facility switching keying systems later swaps cores instead of locks. Same 2-3/4 inch backset and ANSI strike across all of them, so the door prep is identical on every opening.
14) Is the Orca OCL250 entrance lever a substitute for the Marks USA 195RAB?
They cover the same entrance function but at different duty levels. The Orca Hardware OCL250 is a Grade 2 medium duty keyed entrance cylindrical lockset. The Marks USA 195RAB is Grade 1 and commercial rated. On a specification calling for Grade 1 entry hardware the OCL250 will not satisfy it; on a lighter-traffic tenant door where Grade 2 is acceptable, it does.
15) What do I use instead of the 195RAB if I want keypad entry rather than a key?
The Marks USA 195RAB is a mechanical cylindrical lock keyed through an interchangeable core. For code-based entry on the same cylindrical prep, 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, fitting 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 in the classroom function, covering 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors.
16) Which lock keeps the same interchangeable core keying but adds credential access?
The Schlage NDEB is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical lock in the ENGAGE Series with a 2.4 GHz Bluetooth Low Energy reader and mobile-enabled multi-function operation, fitting doors 1-5/8 inch to 2 inch thick. It is the choice when a keyed Grade 1 opening needs to move to credentials. The Marks USA 195RAB stays mechanical and is ordered with a Schlage 6 Pin IC Core, Small Format IC or Medeco IC Large Format Core, which is what keeps it on an existing master key system.
17) Is a mechanical pushbutton knob lock the same thing as the Marks USA 195RAB?
They are not interchangeable on an ADA opening. The Lockey 1600 and Lockey 2830 are mechanical keyless knob locks for doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch thick, with the 2830 offering an auto-locking passage function. Both are knobs. The Marks USA 195RAB is a lever and is ADA compliant, which is what public and commercial accessible openings require.
18) What is the right lock for a classroom door if the 195RAB is our standard office lock?
The Marks USA 195RAB is an Entrance/Office function lock, which is not a classroom function. For classroom openings the TownSteel FCE-2000 is a Grade 1 heavy duty standalone motorized cylindrical lockset with RFID for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the TownSteel XCE-9000 is a Grade 1 heavy duty electronic classroom intruder lockset with keypad covering 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. The Schlage XE360M is a Grade 1 wireless tubular lock in the Classroom/Storeroom function for 1-3/4 inch doors.
19) Is there an access-controlled cylindrical lock that works with a card reader system instead of the 195RAB?
The SDC Electra 7200 Series is a solenoid controlled cylindrical lock running dual voltage 12/24VDC for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch thick, so it is released by an access control system rather than by a key. 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, which avoids running power to the door. The Marks USA 195RAB is a mechanical cylindrical lock with no electrical connection.
20) What finishes does the Marks 195RAB entry lever come in?
Two: US26D satin chrome and US10B oil-rubbed dark bronze. Both are available with any of the three core preps, so you can match the finish already on your other openings without giving up your keying system. US26D is the usual choice in institutional and healthcare work; US10B suits wood-door and hospitality interiors.
21) Is the Marks 195RAB handed, and do I have to specify left or right?
Cylindrical locksets of this type are non-handed, so the 195RAB lever is field-reversible and one part covers both left and right hand doors. What you do specify is finish and core type. The latch front is 1-1/8 x 2-1/4 inches with a 2-3/4 inch backset regardless of hand.
