Marks USA 295N Passage Lever Lockset — Grade 1, Curved Lever, 2-3/4" Backset, 3-Hour Fire Rated

The Marks USA 295N is a commercial-grade cylindrical passage lever lockset engineered for demanding, high-traffic environments where durability and long-term performance are paramount. Featuring a unique stainless steel "clutch" mechanism paired with bronze roller bearings on a cast retractor chassis, this lockset exceeds BHMA Grade 1 specifications by 300%, achieving over 3.6 million cycles. Designed for door thicknesses of 1-5/8" to 1-7/8" (with optional K1904 spacer for 1-3/8" doors) and a 2-3/4" backset, it ships with a #1135 4-7/8" ASA curved lip strike and is 3-Hour Fire Rated. ADA compliant and backed by the Marks Lifetime Mechanical Warranty, the 295N delivers a high-quality, lower-maintenance solution for commercial passage applications.

Key Features

  • Exceeds BHMA Grade 1 by 300%: Tested to over 3.6 million cycles, far surpassing standard Grade 1 requirements for exceptional long-term reliability in high-traffic commercial settings.
  • Unique Stainless Steel Clutch Mechanism: When locked, levers disengage from the retractor and interior mechanisms, swinging freely without resistance — dramatically reducing wear, eliminating lever droop, and extending service life.
  • Cast Retractor on Bronze Roller Bearings: All cylindrical lock chassis feature cast retractors on bronze roller bearings for smooth, durable operation across millions of cycles.
  • Door Thickness & Backset Compatibility: Fits door thicknesses of 1-5/8" to 1-7/8"; use K1904 spacer for 1-3/8" doors. Accommodates both 2-3/8" and 2-3/4" backsets.
  • Latch #1834 Specifications: Front measures 1-1/8" x 2-1/4" with a 9/16" throw and stainless steel nose for reliable deadlocking performance.
  • Thru-Bolted Rose Assembly: Roses are 3-7/16" diameter, spring-loaded, and secured with 2 #10 thru-bolts for a solid, tamper-resistant installation.
  • 3-Hour Fire Rated: Certified for 3-hour fire-rated door assemblies, supporting life-safety compliance in commercial construction.
  • Marks Lifetime Mechanical Warranty: Backed by Marks USA's Lifetime Mechanical Warranty for long-term confidence and protection.

Marks USA 295N-26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What backset does the Marks 295N lever lock use, and can it work in a 2-3/8 inch bore?
It is specified at a 2-3/4 inch backset, which is the common commercial layout, and the chassis also accommodates a 2-3/8 inch backset. That means it drops into either of the two standard cross-bore centerlines without a different lock body.
2) Will the Marks 295N latch into the strike prep already cut in my frame?
The 295N ships with an ANSI strike measuring 1-1/4 by 4-7/8 inches with a 1-1/4 inch lip, so it matches a frame already prepped for a standard ASA 4-7/8 inch strike. The latch front is 1-1/8 by 2-1/4 inches with a 9/16 inch deadlocking throw, so the edge prep needs to be the standard ANSI latch face cut.
3) Does a passage lockset like the Marks 295N lock at all?
No, and that is the point of the function. Passage means the latch is retracted by the levers from both sides at all times, with no key and no thumbturn. Use it on corridor, hall and closet doors. If you need the room to secure from inside, a privacy function such as the Cal-Royal CAL20 is the version to order instead.
4) Can I use the Marks 295N on a 3-hour fire rated door assembly?
Yes. The 295N is 3-hour fire rated and UL listed, and it meets ANSI/BHMA Grade 1. That combination is what an institutional spec usually calls for on rated corridor openings.
5) What is a direct Grade 1 alternative to the Marks USA 295N passage lever lockset?
The Cal-Royal CAL30 is the closest straight equivalent. Like the Marks USA 295N, it is a Grade 1 cylindrical lockset in a passage/hall/closet function, so the lever retracts the latch at all times with no keying involved. The main difference is door range: the CAL30 covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, while the 295N is built for 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors and uses the K1904 spacer to drop down to 1-3/8 inch. If the opening is a thin or thick door and you want it handled without an added spacer, the CAL30 covers that span natively.
6) Is there a lighter-duty passage lever I can use instead of the Marks USA 295N on a low-traffic interior door?
Yes. The Orca Hardware OCL210 is a passage cylindrical lockset in Grade 2 at a medium duty level, and the Dorma CL701 is a Grade 2 non-keyed lever in a passage/hall/closet function. Both cover the same basic operation as the Marks USA 295N, where the lever retracts the latch at all times. The 295N is a Grade 1 commercial lockset rated to over 3.6 million cycles with a 3-hour fire rating, so for corridor, classroom, or other high-cycle and fire-rated openings the 295N is the one that carries those credentials; the Grade 2 options suit closet and office doors that see light use.
7) I need privacy instead of passage on a restroom door - what takes the place of the Marks USA 295N?
Step over to 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. The Marks USA 295N is passage only - its latch is retracted by the levers at all times, with no locking at the door - so it cannot serve a restroom, bedroom, or exam room that needs occupant privacy.
8) What should I order instead of the Marks USA 295N if the door needs to be keyed?
The 295N is a passage lockset - the lever always retracts the latch, so there is no cylinder and no way to secure the opening. For a keyed opening in the same cylindrical format, the Dorma C853 is a Grade 1 single cylinder entry lever covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Dorma C150 is a Grade 1 heavy-duty cylindrical lock in an entry/office function over the same door range. The Orca OCL250 is a Grade 2 entrance cylindrical lockset if the opening does not call for Grade 1.
9) I need a passage lever on a 1-3/8 inch door. What do I have to order with the Marks 295N?
Add the K1904 spacer. The 295N chassis itself covers 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inches, and the spacer is what adapts it down to a 1-3/8 inch door. If you would rather not add a part, the Cal-Royal CAL30 Grade 1 passage lock lists a 1-3/8 to 2 inch range out of the box.
10) Is the Marks USA 295N lever ADA compliant for public corridors?
It is ADA compliant and uses a curved lever rather than a knob, so it operates without grasping or twisting. Combined with Grade 1 commercial rating, it suits public-access doors in schools, healthcare and government buildings.
11) How does the Marks 295N compare to a Grade 2 passage lever like the Orca OCL210?
Both are passage function cylindrical locksets, but the duty level is different. The 295N is Grade 1 and rated for over 3.6 million cycles, built for high-traffic corridors. The Orca Hardware OCL210 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage lockset, which is the choice for lighter interior openings. The Cal-Royal CAL30 is another Grade 1 passage option and carries a wider 1-3/8 to 2 inch door thickness range if your doors fall outside 1-5/8 to 1-7/8.
12) Is the Marks 295N thru-bolted, and will it hold up without lever droop?
The roses are 3-7/16 inches in diameter, spring loaded, and secured with two #10 thru-bolts through the door. Inside, a stainless steel clutch lets the lever swing free of the retractor when locked out, which is what keeps droop and internal wear down on a cast retractor running on bronze roller bearings.
13) We want keyless code entry rather than a mechanical passage lever - what replaces the Marks USA 295N?
The Marks USA 295N is a purely mechanical cylindrical lockset with no keypad or credential reader. For coded entry in the same cylindrical prep, the Alarm Lock Trilogy T2 DL2700 is a Grade 1 standalone electronic entrance lock with a digital keypad, 100 user codes, and IC/SFIC compatibility, fitting 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors - the same door range the 295N covers. The TownSteel XCE-2000 is a Grade 1 heavy duty electronic keypad lockset in a classroom function for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Schlage NDEB is a Grade 1 wireless Bluetooth cylindrical lock for 1-5/8 inch to 2 inch doors if you want credentials managed from a phone or system rather than codes at the door.
14) The Marks USA 295N only fits 1-5/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors - what passage-type lock handles a wider range of door thicknesses?
Several do. The Cal-Royal CAL30 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Lockey 2830 mechanical pushbutton keyless knob lock, which includes an auto-locking passage function, covers 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch. Note the difference in trim: the 295N and CAL30 are lever locksets, while the Lockey 2830 is a knob, so it will not meet the ADA lever requirement the 295N satisfies. The 295N itself takes the K1904 spacer to reach 1-3/8 inch doors if you prefer to stay with it.
15) Is the Stanley QTL230E passage lever a substitute for the Marks USA 295N?
Check the strike and backset before you treat it as one. The Stanley QTL230E ships with a 4-7/8 inch x 1-1/4 inch ANSI strike and an adjustable square latch on a Sierra bent lever with a small rose, so the strike prep matches the ANSI 1-1/4 inch x 4-7/8 inch strike the Marks USA 295N uses. The trim differs - the 295N is a curved lever on a 3-7/16 inch diameter thru-bolted rose - and the 295N is a Grade 1 lockset rated past 3.6 million cycles with a 3-hour fire rating. If you are matching existing Stanley trim down a corridor, the QTL230E keeps the look consistent; if the spec calls Grade 1 and fire rating, the 295N is the one that carries it.
16) For a school corridor, how does the Marks USA 295N compare to a classroom-function lock?
They do different jobs. The Marks USA 295N is passage only - the levers retract the latch at all times, which suits corridor and common-area doors that are never secured. For a classroom door that must be locked down, the TownSteel FCE-2000 and FCE-4000 are Grade 1 heavy duty classroom cylindrical locksets for 1-3/4 inch doors, with the FCE-4000 built as an intruder classroom lock, and the TownSteel XCE-9000 is a Grade 1 electronic classroom intruder lockset with keypad for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Many buildings run the 295N on corridors and a classroom-function lock on the teaching spaces.
17) What finishes does the Marks 295N passage lever come in?
Four: US3 bright brass, US26 polished chrome, US26D satin chrome, and US10B oil-rubbed dark bronze. For a building standardizing openings, US26D is the usual commercial match to existing satin chrome hardware.
