Marks USA 195T Corridor Clutched Lever Lockset — Marks C Keyway, 6 Pin, 2-3/4" Backset, Grade 1

The Marks USA 195T is a commercial-grade corridor clutched lever lockset engineered for exceptional durability and long-term performance in high-traffic environments. Featuring a unique stainless steel clutch mechanism and bronze roller bearings, this cylindrical lockset exceeds BHMA Grade 1 specifications by 300%, achieving over 3.6 million cycles. Designed for doors 1-5/8" to 1-7/8" thick with a 2-3/4" backset, it includes a Marks "C" keyway 6-pin cylinder with 2 keys and a 3-hour fire rating. The clutch design disengages the levers from the retractor when locked, eliminating lever droop and dramatically reducing wear on internal components.

Key Features

  • Exceeds BHMA Grade 1 by 300%: Rated for over 3.6 million cycles, far surpassing standard Grade 1 requirements for unmatched longevity in demanding commercial applications.
  • Unique Stainless Steel Clutch Mechanism: When locked, levers disengage from the retractor and swing freely without resistance, eliminating lever droop and dramatically reducing wear on internal lock components.
  • Cast Bronze Roller Bearings: Solid cast retractors on bronze roller bearings provide a strong, durable chassis foundation for millions of cycles of reliable operation.
  • Door Thickness & Backset Compatibility: Fits doors 1-5/8" to 1-7/8" thick; accommodates both 2-3/8" and 2-3/4" backsets. For 1-3/8" doors, use K1904 spacer.
  • Latch #1834 Specifications: Front measures 1-1/8" x 2-1/4" with a 9/16" throw and stainless steel nose for corrosion resistance and reliable latching.
  • Solid Cast Zamac Levers: Levers feature solid cast zamac construction with 1/2" return (except 395 & 495 models) for a robust, professional appearance and feel.
  • Thru-Bolted Roses: 3-7/16" diameter roses are spring-loaded and secured with 2 #10 thru-bolts for a secure, rattle-free installation.
  • Strike #1135 Included: 4-7/8" ASA curved lip strike included for proper door frame engagement and code-compliant installation.
  • 3-Hour Fire Rated: Certified for 3-hour fire-rated door assemblies, supporting life-safety compliance in commercial buildings.
  • Marks Lifetime Mechanical Warranty: Backed by Marks USA's Lifetime Mechanical Warranty for long-term confidence and lower total cost of ownership.

Marks USA 195T/26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can a Marks 195T lever lockset go on a fire rated corridor door?
Yes, the 195T is 3-hour fire rated and UL Listed, which covers 3-hour rated door assemblies in corridors and stair enclosures. It is also ADA compliant, so the lever meets the operable-hardware requirement on an accessible route.
2) What backset does the Marks 195T use, and can it go in a door bored for 2-3/8 inch?
The 195T ships set up for a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the latch accommodates both 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backsets. Those are the two backsets found on bored commercial doors, so an existing cross-bore in either position will take it.
3) Will the Marks 195T latch work with the strike already in my frame?
The latch throw is 9/16 inch with a deadlocking latch and a 1-1/8 x 2-1/4 inch front. A 4-7/8 inch ASA curved lip strike (#1135) comes with it, so if your frame is prepped for a standard 4-7/8 inch ANSI strike the supplied one drops straight in. A frame carrying only a small T-strike or a 2-3/4 inch face plate will need to be modified or the existing ASA strike reused.
4) Is the Marks USA 195T a keyed lock or does it stay unlocked?
Corridor function on the 195T is non-keyed. The latch is retracted by the levers from both sides at all times, ANSI function F75, which is the passage arrangement used on hall, corridor and closet doors. If you need a door that locks, a passage lock is the wrong function, and a keyed cylindrical such as the Dorma C853 entry lever or the Orca OCL250 entrance lockset is the direction to look.
5) Is the Marks 195T heavy duty enough for a school or hospital corridor?
It is built for exactly that traffic. The 195T is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 and tested past 3.6 million cycles, which Marks states as exceeding Grade 1 by 300 percent. Grade 1 is the top commercial rating for bored locks, so on a high-use corridor this is the tier to be specifying rather than a Grade 2 lockset like the Orca OCL210 or the Dorma CL701.
6) Can I replace a worn passage lever on an existing corridor door with a Marks 195T without redoing the door prep?
If the door is already bored for a standard 161 cylindrical prep at 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset and thickness falls between 1-5/8 and 1-7/8 inches, the 195T goes back into the same holes. The 3-7/16 inch roses cover the existing rose footprint on most bored locks, and the supplied 4-7/8 inch ASA strike matches a frame already cut for an ANSI strike. Thinner door, add the K1904 spacer.
7) What is the closest Grade 1 passage lever lockset to the Marks USA 195T?
The Cal-Royal CAL30 is the nearest straight equivalent. Both are Grade 1 cylindrical locksets with a Passage/Hall/Closet function, so the latch is retracted by the levers at all times with no keying involved. The difference that matters at the opening is door thickness: the 195T is built for doors 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch, while the CAL30 covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. On a 1-3/8 inch door the CAL30 fits as supplied; the 195T needs the K1904 spacer.
8) I need the door to lock. What do I use instead of the Marks 195T?
The 195T is not keyed and its latch retracts from the levers at all times, so it holds a door closed but never secures it. For a keyed opening, the Dorma C853 is a Grade 1 single cylinder entry lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Dorma C150 is a Grade 1 heavy-duty cylindrical lock in Entry/Office function over the same thickness range. For a restroom or bedroom door needing only an interior lock, the Cal-Royal CAL20 is a Grade 1 privacy lockset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
9) What does the clutch do on a Marks 195T clutched lever, and does it stop lever droop?
The clutch is a stainless steel mechanism that disengages the levers from the retractor when the lock is locked, so a lever being forced or hung on swings free instead of loading the chassis. That is what eliminates lever droop, the sag that puts a lever off horizontal after years of use, and it keeps wear off the internal parts. Retractors run on cast bronze roller bearings.
10) What comes in the box with the Marks 195T, and do I need to order anything else?
The 195T arrives complete for a standard opening: levers, the #1834 latch with stainless steel nose, thru-bolted 3-7/16 inch roses held by two #10 thru-bolts, and the #1135 4-7/8 inch ASA strike. A cylinder with a Marks C keyway 6-pin and two keys is included as part of the trim package. The only extra to order is the K1904 spacer if the door is 1-3/8 inch.
11) Should I use a mechanical corridor lockset like the Marks 195T or go with an electronic keypad lock?
Pick the mechanical 195T when the door just has to open and stay unlocked, corridors, halls, closets, and you want no batteries and no programming behind it. Go electronic when you need to control who gets in or record it: the Alarm Lock Trilogy DL2700 carries 100 user codes and fits the same 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch door range, the Alarm Lock T3 DL3075 adds an audit trail, and the Schlage NDEB ENGAGE is a Grade 1 wireless Bluetooth lock for 1-5/8 to 2 inch doors. None of those is a substitute for a passage function, they are access control.
12) Do I need to specify handing when ordering the Marks 195T lever lockset?
No handing to call out. The 195T is a cylindrical bored lockset with levers operating from both sides at all times, and the latch front is a straight 1-1/8 x 2-1/4 inch face, so the same unit serves left or right hand doors. Handing matters on mortise locks and on strike lip length, not here.
13) Is there a lighter-duty passage lever I can use instead of the Marks 195T on low-traffic doors?
Yes. The Orca Hardware OCL210 is a medium duty Grade 2 passage cylindrical lockset, and the Dorma CL701 is a Grade 2 non-keyed passage lever in the CL700 Series. Both carry the same Passage/Hall/Closet function as the 195T, which is Grade 1. On a closet or an interior office door that sees a few cycles a day, the Grade 2 chassis is the usual call; on corridor and stairwell doors the Grade 1 rating is what specifications normally require.
14) What should I order instead of the Marks 195T if I want keypad access on the door?
The 195T is a mechanical cylindrical lockset and has no electronic credential. Standalone keypad options that fit the same 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch door range are the Alarm Lock Trilogy T2 DL2700, a Grade 1 electronic cylindrical entrance lock with 100 user codes and IC/SFIC compatibility, and the Alarm Lock DL5200, a double-sided electronic cylindrical lock with 100 user capacity. If the doors are 1-3/4 inch, the TownSteel XCE-2000 is a Grade 1 heavy duty electronic cylindrical lockset with keypad in classroom function.
15) The Marks 195T does not fit my 2 inch thick doors. What Grade 1 cylindrical lock covers that thickness?
The 195T is built for doors 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch. For thicker doors, the Dorma C150 and Dorma C853 are both Grade 1 cylindrical locks rated to 2-1/4 inch, the Cal-Royal CAL30 passage and CAL20 privacy both run to 2 inch, and the Schlage NDEB ENGAGE Series covers 1-5/8 inch to 2 inch. Confirm the backset and strike prep on the existing frame before swapping series, since these are different chassis families.
16) Can I use a mechanical pushbutton lock like the Lockey 2830 instead of the Marks 195T?
They serve different openings. The Lockey 2830 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless knob lock with an auto-locking passage function, fitting doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch, and it controls who gets through by code with no wiring and no battery. The Marks 195T is a lever lockset, ADA compliant and UL Listed with a 3-hour fire rating, whose levers always retract the latch. If the requirement is code-controlled entry on a utility or gate-type door, the 2830 answers it; if the requirement is free passage on a fire-rated commercial opening with lever operation, the 195T does.
17) What finish does the Marks USA 195T corridor lockset come in?
US26D satin chrome is the finish offered on the 195T. That is the standard institutional finish, so it matches satin chrome closers, hinges and exit devices already on most commercial and school openings, and it is the closest visual match to the 630 stainless finish used on a lot of adjacent hardware.
18) How does the Marks 195T compare to the Stanley QTL230E passage lever?
Both are lever locksets, but they are not interchangeable specifications. The Marks 195T is Grade 1, ANSI F75 passage, with a 2-3/4 inch backset, a deadlocking latch with 9/16 inch throw, and a 1-1/8 inch by 2-1/4 inch front, and it ships with a 4-7/8 inch ASA curved lip strike. The Stanley QTL230E-SA-478S is a QTL200 Series Grade 2 Sierra bent lever with a small rose, an adjustable square latch, and a 4-7/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch ANSI strike. Where a job is standardized on Marks C keyway hardware and Grade 1 corridor openings, the 195T keeps the lever style and chassis consistent.
19) Is the Kwikset 912TNL SmartCode a substitute for the Marks 195T on a commercial corridor door?
They are built for different settings. The Kwikset 912TNL ZW500 is a SmartCode Series electronic Tustin lever with Z-Wave, keyed one side, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Marks 195T is a commercial cylindrical lockset, Grade 1, UL Listed and 3-hour fire rated, with a 2-3/4 inch backset and an ASA strike. Corridor and stairwell openings in commercial buildings are typically written to a Grade 1 fire-rated lockset, which is the 195T's territory; the Z-Wave lever suits openings where home-automation integration is the goal.
