Marks USA 295L Privacy Lever Lockset — Curved Lever, 2-3/4" Backset, ANSI Strike, Grade 1, ADA Compliant

The Marks USA 295L is a commercial-grade cylindrical Privacy Lever Lockset engineered for demanding, high-traffic environments where durability and long-term performance are essential. Built on the Marks USA Survivor platform, this lockset features a unique stainless steel "clutch" mechanism combined with bronze roller bearings that disengage the levers from the retractor when locked, eliminating lever droop and dramatically reducing internal wear. Rated to exceed BHMA Grade 1 specifications by 300% — surpassing 3.6 million cycles — and carrying a 3-Hour Fire Rating, the 295L is designed for doors with a 2-3/4" backset and accommodates door thicknesses from 1-5/8" to 1-7/8" (with optional K1904 spacer for 1-3/8" doors). ADA compliant and backed by the Marks Lifetime Mechanical Warranty, this lockset delivers professional-grade reliability for commercial applications.
