Marks USA 195TK Hospital/Privacy Lever Lockset — Grade 1 Survivor Series, ADA Compliant, Bright Polished Brass

The Marks USA 195TK is a heavy-duty Hospital/Privacy Cylindrical Lever Lockset from the Grade 1 Survivor Series, engineered for demanding commercial environments where reliable egress and privacy control are essential. Featuring ANSI Function F90 (TK-Hospital Privacy), the lockset uses a deadlocking latch bolt operated by levers except when locked by a push button in the inside lever — the inside lever always remains free for immediate egress. The cast stainless steel retractor with bronze roller bearings delivers ultra-high strength and smooth operation, and the Survivor's clutch disengages the outside lever when locked, allowing it to turn freely without opening the latch — dramatically reducing torque and preventing the lever failures common in rigid-lever locksets. The 195TK exceeds BHMA Grade 1 specifications by 300%, rated for over 3.6 million cycles, and carries a Marks lifetime mechanical warranty.

Key Features

  • Exceptional Durability: Exceeds BHMA Grade 1 specifications by 300% with over 3.6 million cycles tested — far surpassing standard commercial requirements for high-traffic applications.
  • Survivor Series Clutch Mechanism: When locked, the clutch disengages the outside lever so it turns freely without actuating the latch, reducing torque and preventing the lever failures associated with rigid-lever designs.
  • Cast Stainless Steel Retractor: Retractor is cast stainless steel with bronze roller bearings for ultra-high strength, smooth operation, and long service life.
  • ANSI Function F90 — Hospital/Privacy: Deadlocking latch bolt by levers except when locked by push button in inside lever; key in outside lever locks or unlocks outside lever and releases button; closing door releases push button; inside lever always free for immediate egress.
  • Precise Dimensional Specifications: Front size 1-1/8" x 2-1/4", backset 2-3/4", door cross bore 2.125", rose diameter 3-7/16", and latch throw 9/16" for accurate door preparation.
  • ANSI Strike Included: ANSI strike measures 1-1/4" x 4-7/8" with 1-1/4" lip, square corner, ASA curved lip (Strike #1135); Latch #1834 included.
  • ADA Compliant Lever Design: American-style 195 Lever with straight return profile on a round rose (3-7/16" diameter) with thru-bolted spring-loaded rose meets ADA accessibility requirements.
  • Solid Construction: Trim material is solid cast Zamac lever in Bright Polished Brass (605/US3) finish; latch bolt material is stainless steel for corrosion resistance and long-term reliability.
  • Lifetime Mechanical Warranty: Backed by Marks' lifetime mechanical warranty for added confidence and long-term protection in commercial installations.

Marks USA 195TK-US3 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does hospital privacy function mean on the Marks 195TK, and how is it different from a standard privacy lock?
Hospital privacy (ANSI F90) means the latch is retracted by the levers except when the inside push button is pressed. The difference from a standard bed/bath privacy lock is the outside key: a key in the outside lever locks or unlocks that lever and releases the button, and closing the door also releases the button so the lock does not stay locked by accident. The inside lever is always free for immediate egress. That combination is why it gets specified on patient rooms and exam rooms where staff need outside access without an emergency tool.
2) Will the Marks USA 195TK fit my existing door prep?
It uses the standard commercial cylindrical prep: 2-3/4 inch backset, 2.125 inch cross bore, 1-1/8 x 2-1/4 inch latch front, and a 3-7/16 inch round rose. If your door was bored for a 2-3/8 inch backset lock, the 195TK as specified will not drop in without re-prepping the door. Rose diameter of 3-7/16 inches will cover most existing rose scars on a lever-to-lever swap.
3) Is the Marks 195TK durable enough for a high-traffic restroom or patient room door?
It is a Grade 1 commercial lockset, ANSI/BHMA A156.2 certified and UL/cUL listed, tested past 3.6 million cycles. The part that usually fails on lever locks is the lever itself when someone hangs on it while locked; the Survivor clutch disengages the outside lever so it spins free instead of loading the retractor. Retractor is cast stainless with bronze roller bearings and the latch bolt is stainless.
4) Can I use the Marks USA 195TK on an entry door that needs a key?
No. The Marks USA 195TK is a non-keyed lockset. For a keyed opening, the Dorma C853 is a Grade 1 single cylinder keyed entry lever lockset in the C800 Series fitting 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Dorma C150 is a Grade 1 entry/office function lock in the C100 Series with the same door thickness range. The Orca Hardware OCL250 covers the same need at Grade 2 medium duty.
5) Which alternative matches the 195TK's 4-7/8 inch ANSI strike prep?
The Marks USA 195TK ships with an ANSI strike measuring 1-1/4 inch by 4-7/8 inch with a 1-1/4 inch lip and a 2-3/4 inch backset latch. The Stanley QCL150 uses an ASA strike of 4-7/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch with a square 2-3/4 inch backset latch, and the Stanley QTL230E-SA-478S is supplied with a 4-7/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch ANSI strike, so both drop into the same frame cutout.
6) Is the Marks 195TK keyed, and do I need to order a cylinder with it?
It is not a keyed-entry lockset in the keying-system sense, so it does not go on a master key schedule the way a classroom or storeroom lock does. The outside trim takes the hospital-privacy emergency key that locks or unlocks the outside lever and releases the inside push button. Do not spec it where you need keyed entry for staff on a master key; use an entrance or classroom function lock for that.
7) Does the Marks 195TK meet ADA requirements for accessible restrooms?
It is ADA compliant. The 195 American-style lever has a straight return profile on a round rose, so it is operable without tight grasping or twisting of the wrist, which is what accessible restroom and patient room doors are inspected for.
8) I need locks on the corridor doors too, not just the patient rooms. Does the 195TK work there?
No. The 195TK holds privacy with a push button and is meant for rooms that need to be secured from the inside. For a corridor or closet door that should never latch locked, use a passage function lockset such as the Cal-Royal CAL30, a Grade 1 passage lock rated for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, or the Orca OCL210 in Grade 2. If the corridor door needs keyed entry, the Dorma C853 is a Grade 1 keyed entry lever for 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors.
9) Will the Marks 195TK latch into my existing ASA strike?
If the frame already has a full ANSI/ASA strike cutout at 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inches, yes, the 195TK matches it and the supplied 1135 strike is that size with a curved ASA lip. The latch throws 9/16 inch and is deadlocking, so the strike pocket has to be deep enough to clear the bolt plus the deadlocking plunger riding on the strike face. Shallow residential strikes will not deadlock the bolt properly.
10) Is there a lower-cost medium duty privacy lever if Grade 1 is more than the job needs?
Yes. The Orca Hardware OCL240 is a Grade 2 medium duty privacy cylindrical lockset, which suits lower-traffic interior openings. The Marks USA 195TK is a Grade 1 commercial cylindrical lockset with a cast stainless steel retractor and bronze roller bearings rated for over 3.6 million cycles, so it is the choice where the door cycles hard all day.
11) What is the electronic equivalent if I want privacy control with access records?
Two Grade 1 electronic cylindrical locks carry a privacy function. The Alarm Lock Trilogy 4100 is a Grade 1 electronic cylindrical lock with a privacy function and keypad for 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors, and the Schlage CO-100 is a Grade 1 heavy duty standalone electronic cylindrical lock with privacy function and keypad for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Marks USA 195TK is a mechanical lockset with no battery or keypad, operated by the push button in the inside lever.
12) Will a dummy lever like the Dorma C501 work in place of the 195TK?
No, and it is a common mix-up because both are non-keyed. The Dorma C501 is a Grade 2 single dummy trim lever with no latch at all, and the Orca Hardware OCL2170 is a Grade 2 half dummy lever, so neither latches or locks. The Marks USA 195TK has a deadlocking latch with a 9/16 inch throw and a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the inside lever always releases for immediate egress.
13) For a classroom or storeroom door, is the 195TK the right Marks lock or should I look elsewhere?
The Marks USA 195TK is built for privacy openings, not classroom security. For classroom function, the TownSteel XCE-2000 and XCE-9000 are Grade 1 heavy duty electronic cylindrical locksets with keypads covering 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, the XCE-9000 being the classroom intruder version. The Schlage XE360M is a Grade 1 wireless tubular lock with a classroom/storeroom function for 1-3/4 inch doors.
14) We standardize on lever trim for ADA - do the alternatives to the 195TK also use levers?
The Marks USA 195TK is ADA compliant with an American-style straight-return lever on a 3-7/16 inch round rose. Among the alternatives, the Dorma C853 and Dorma CL701 are lever locksets, and the Stanley QCL150 uses a Sierra bent lever with rose. The Lockey 1600 and Lockey 2830 are knob locks rather than levers, so they would break a lever standard on those openings.
15) Which finishes does the Marks 195TK hospital privacy lever come in?
Three: US3 bright brass, US26 polished chrome, and US10B oil-rubbed dark bronze. If you are standardizing a floor of patient rooms, pick one and stay with it, because the lever is solid cast Zamac and the finish is applied to the trim, not the latch.
