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

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.
