Marks USA MAR195TK 195TK Hospital/Privacy Lever Lockset — Grade 1 Survivor Series, ADA Compliant, Bright Polished Brass

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.
