Marks USA 195RDA Vestibule Clutched Lever Lockset — Grade 1, Small Format IC, 3-Hour Fire Rated

The Marks USA 195RDA is a commercial-grade Vestibule Clutched Lever Lockset from the 195 Series, engineered with a unique stainless steel clutch mechanism that disengages the levers from the retractor when locked — allowing them to swing freely without resistance, eliminating lever droop and dramatically reducing wear on internal components. Built on a cylindrical lock chassis with cast retractors on bronze roller bearings, this lockset exceeds BHMA Grade 1 specifications by 300%, achieving over 3.6 million cycles. It supports 2-3/8" and 2-3/4" backsets, accommodates door thicknesses of 1-5/8" to 1-7/8" (with optional K1904 spacer for 1-3/8" doors), and carries a 3-Hour Fire Rating along with ANSI/BHMA and UL Listed certifications.

Marks USA 195RDA/26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Marks USA 195RDA fit a 1-3/8 inch door?
Not as it ships. The 195RDA is built for door thicknesses of 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch. For a 1-3/8 inch door you need to add the K1904 spacer, which Marks makes for exactly that case. If you are ordering for a mix of older 1-3/8 inch wood doors and standard commercial doors, plan on the spacer for the thin ones.
2) What backset does the Marks 195RDA lever lock use, and can it work in an existing 2-3/8 inch prep?
Both standard backsets are covered: the 195RDA is specified at 2-3/4 inch and also supports 2-3/8 inch, so it drops into either of the two common bored preps without redrilling the cross-bore.
3) Is the Marks 195RDA keyed, and what does the vestibule function actually do?
It is a non-keyed lockset. The ANSI function is F75, passage: the latch is retracted by the levers at all times from both sides. The clutch mechanism is what makes it a vestibule lock, since when the outside lever is in the locked condition it spins free instead of loading the retractor. If you need key control on that opening, you want a keyed function from the series, not the 195RDA.
4) Can I use the Marks 195RDA on a fire rated corridor door?
Yes. The 195RDA carries a 3-hour fire rating and is UL Listed, with a deadlocking latch, which is what a fire-rated assembly requires on a latching opening. It is also ADA compliant, so it covers the lever-operation requirement on egress and accessible routes.
5) Will the 195RDA latch into the strike already in my frame?
Depends what is prepped. The lock comes with Latch #1834, a 1-1/8 x 2-1/4 inch front with a 9/16 inch throw and stainless nose, paired to Strike #1135, a 4-7/8 inch ASA curved lip strike. If your frames are already cut for a 4-7/8 inch ASA strike, you are set. A frame with only a small T-strike or a 2-3/4 inch box prep will need the ASA cutout. Note the 9/16 inch throw, which is short, so strike alignment and gap need to be right.
6) I need a Grade 1 lever on a 2 inch thick door. Does the Marks 195RDA cover that?
No. The 195RDA tops out at 1-7/8 inch. For a 2 inch door look at the Dorma C150, a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical lock rated 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch in entry/office function, or the Dorma C853 entry keyed lever with the same 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch range. Both are keyed functions rather than passage, so confirm the function matches what the opening needs.
7) What is a mechanical Grade 1 passage lever equivalent to the Marks USA 195RDA?
The Cal-Royal CAL30 Calypso Series is the closest straight mechanical alternative. Both are Grade 1 cylindrical locksets in a Passage/Hall/Closet function with lever trim. The difference that matters on the door: the CAL30 covers a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range out of the box, while the Marks USA 195RDA fits 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors and needs the K1904 spacer to go down to 1-3/8 inch. The 195RDA also carries the stainless steel clutch that lets the levers swing free when locked, and it accepts a Small Format Interchangeable Core.
8) We want keypad access on a vestibule door. What replaces the Marks USA 195RDA?
The Marks USA 195RDA is a mechanical, non-keyed passage lockset, so it has no access control. For a standalone keypad on the same cylindrical prep, the Alarm Lock Trilogy T2 DL2700 is a Grade 1 electronic cylindrical entrance lock with 100 user codes and IC/SFIC compatibility, fitting 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors, which is the same thickness window the 195RDA covers. The Alarm Lock T3 DL3075 adds an audit trail, and the Schlage NDEB is a Grade 1 wireless Bluetooth cylindrical lock for 1-5/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
9) The opening needs to lock with a key, not just latch. What takes the place of the Marks USA 195RDA?
The Marks USA 195RDA is a non-keyed lockset whose latch is retracted by the levers at all times, so it will not secure an opening. For a keyed cylindrical lever, the Dorma C853 is a Grade 1 single cylinder entry lockset for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Dorma C150 is a Grade 1 entry/office function over the same thickness range. The Orca Hardware OCL250 is a Grade 2 entrance cylindrical lockset if the opening does not call for Grade 1.
10) Our doors are thicker than 1-7/8 inch. What passage or entry lever works where the Marks USA 195RDA does not?
The Marks USA 195RDA is built for 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors. If you are above that, the Dorma C150 Grade 1 entry/office and the Dorma C853 Grade 1 entrance lockset both cover 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Cal-Royal CAL30 Grade 1 passage lock runs to 2 inch. The SDC E75 keypad cylindrical lockset covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/8 inch if you also want electronic access.
11) Why pick a clutched lever lock over a standard Grade 1 cylindrical lockset?
The clutch is a maintenance decision. In a standard lockset the outside lever stays coupled to the retractor when locked, so every yank on a locked door loads the internal parts and the lever eventually droops. The 195RDA uses a stainless steel clutch that disconnects the lever from the retractor when locked, letting it swing free. Marks rates it past 3.6 million cycles, well beyond the BHMA Grade 1 threshold. On a high-abuse opening (school corridor, hospital, vestibule entry), that is the reason to pay for it over a plain Grade 1 lever.
12) We already key everything on small format interchangeable cores. Which alternatives to the Marks USA 195RDA keep that?
The Marks USA 195RDA accepts Small Format IC cylinders, though as a passage function it is supplied non-keyed. If you need an SFIC-compatible lock that actually secures the door, the Alarm Lock Trilogy T2 DL2700 is a Grade 1 electronic cylindrical entrance lock listed as IC/SFIC compatible for 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors, and the BEST 9KZ EZ Series is an electronic keypad cylindrical lock with a key override function.
13) I need a lighter-duty passage lever instead of the Marks USA 195RDA. What should I look at?
For lower-traffic openings, the Orca Hardware OCL210 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage cylindrical lockset, and the Dorma CL701 is a Grade 2 non-keyed lever in a Passage/Hall/Closet function. Both step down from the Grade 1 rating the Marks USA 195RDA carries, and neither is described with the 195RDA's clutch mechanism or its Small Format Interchangeable Core provision, so keep the 195RDA where you need the heavier chassis or IC key control.
14) Can I use a restroom lever in place of the Marks USA 195RDA?
No, those are different functions. The Marks USA 195RDA is a passage lockset with no locking at the lever. For a restroom or bedroom door you want a privacy function: the Cal-Royal CAL20 is a Grade 1 extra heavy duty privacy lock covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Orca Hardware OCL240 is a Grade 2 medium duty privacy cylindrical lockset.
15) Our doors are 1-3/4 inch classroom doors that need lockdown. Is the Marks USA 195RDA the right lock?
No. The Marks USA 195RDA is a passage function lockset that latches but does not lock. For classroom lockdown on 1-3/4 inch doors, the TownSteel FCE-4000 is a Grade 1 RFID electronic intruder classroom cylindrical lockset, the TownSteel XCE-9000 is a Grade 1 keypad classroom intruder lockset for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Schlage XE360M is a Grade 1 wireless tubular lock in a classroom/storeroom function for 1-3/4 inch doors.
16) How does the Marks USA 195RDA compare to the Stanley QCL150 entry lever?
They differ on both grade and function. The Stanley Security QCL150 is a Grade 2 entrance lever in the QCL100 Series, supplied less cylinder with a 2-3/4 inch backset latch and a 4-7/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch ASA strike. The Marks USA 195RDA is a Grade 1 non-keyed passage lockset with a 2-3/4 inch backset, a 1-1/8 inch by 2-1/4 inch latch front, and a 4-7/8 inch ASA curved lip strike. Pick the QCL150 when the door has to be keyed; pick the 195RDA when the opening is free passage on a Grade 1 spec.
17) What finishes does the Marks 195RDA vestibule lever come in?
Two: US26D satin chrome and US3 bright brass. US26D is the usual choice when you are matching existing commercial door hardware across a building; US3 suits openings where the rest of the trim is polished brass.
18) How is the Marks 195RDA rose mounted, and will it loosen up over time?
The roses are 3-7/16 inch diameter, spring loaded, and thru-bolted with two #10 bolts through the door. Thru-bolting is what keeps a lever from working loose under daily abuse, as opposed to a rose held only by screws into the chassis. The levers are cast zamac with a 1/2 inch return riding on bronze roller bearings.
