TownSteel CRX-A-72-630-RH – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the TownSteel CRX-A-72 back to back dummy actually do, and does it lock?
No lock and no latch. The CRX-A-72 is a dummy trim: a ligature resistant arch pull mounted on both faces of the door, non-keyed, with nothing that latches or secures the opening. Use it on the inactive leaf of a pair, on a closet or push/pull door, or anywhere you want the same arch trim appearance as the locking CRX-A functions without any locking hardware. If the opening needs to secure, you need a keyed or latching CRX-A function instead.
2) Will the TownSteel CRX-A-72 fit a 1-3/4 inch door, and can it go on a wood door?
1-3/4 inches is the door thickness it is built for, and that is the only thickness listed. It mounts on both wood and metal doors, using through-bolts with tamper resistant screws. If your doors are 1-3/8 inch older interior leaves, this is the wrong part; the Cal-Royal Barrington BA series cylindrical locks cover 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch, and the Falcon K501 covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch.
3) Why does a dummy trim need a hand specified when I order it?
The arch trim is directional, so the CRX-A-72 is ordered by hand: LH, LHR, RH, or RHR. Stand outside the door (the side the key would go, or the corridor side of a patient room), note which edge the hinges are on and whether the door swings toward you or away, and order to match. The arch on a ligature resistant pull is shaped to shed a strap toward the hinge side, so a mishanded unit mounts with the arch pointing the wrong way and defeats the reason you bought it.
4) Is the TownSteel CRX-A ligature resistant trim suitable for a behavioral health or patient room door?
That is what it is built for. TownSteel recommends the CRX-A for high risk areas in facilities housing patients at risk, and the trim meets ligature resistant requirements: a 5 point ligature resistant stainless steel arch, plus tamper resistant mounting screws so the trim cannot be taken off the door with a common driver. The CRX-A-72 is the dummy version of that trim, so it gives you the same anti-ligature profile on doors that do not need to latch.
5) Will a TownSteel CRX-A-72 drop into the holes left by the cylindrical lock I am removing?
If the existing hardware is a 2-3/4 inch backset cylindrical lockset in a 1-3/4 inch door, yes, the bore lines up. 2-3/4 inch is the standard backset on commercial cylindrical preps, and it is the only backset offered on the CRX-A-72. If your doors were bored 2-3/8 inch, which is common on residential and light commercial openings, the trim will not land on the existing hole and the door needs re-boring.
6) What is the closest heavy duty Grade 1 cylindrical lock to the TownSteel CRX-A-72 for an opening that needs a keyed entrance function?
The CRX-A-72 is a back to back dummy with a non-keyed function, so it has no latch and no cylinder to key. When the opening needs a keyed entrance instead, the Falcon K501 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical lock with an entrance push-turnbutton function, and it is fire rated. Both are Grade 1 cylindrical locks, so a facility standardizing on Grade 1 bored hardware can carry the CRX-A-72 on the pull side openings and the K501 on the openings that latch and lock.
7) The CRX-A-72 fits a 1-3/4 inch door. What cylindrical lock works on a 1-3/8 inch door instead?
The CRX-A-72 lists a door thickness range of 1-3/4 inches. For a thinner door, the Cal-Royal Barrington BA series covers 1-3/8 inches to 1-3/4 inches across its functions - BA00 entrance, BA03 classroom, BA04 communicating, and BA05 storeroom. The Falcon K501 covers 1-3/8 inches to 2-1/4 inches. Both of those are keyed functions rather than dummy trim, so on a thin door that only needs a pull the substitution is not one for one.
8) Can I use a Cal-Royal BA05 storeroom lock in place of the TownSteel CRX-A-72?
They do different jobs. The CRX-A-72 is a back to back dummy, non-keyed, with the 5 point ligature resistant stainless steel arch trim and tamper-resistant through-bolt mounting that suits high-risk areas in facilities housing patients at risk. The Cal-Royal BA05 is a storeroom function in the Barrington BA series with a Grade 2 ANSI F86 deadlocking latch, fitting doors 1-3/8 inches to 1-3/4 inches. A storeroom lock secures the opening; the CRX-A-72 does not latch at all. Substitute only if the opening actually needs to lock and the ligature resistant trim is not a requirement.
9) Is the TownSteel CRX-A Grade 1, and is it strong enough for a hospital corridor?
Grade 1, heavy duty, and specified as commercial. Grade 1 is the top ANSI/BHMA tier for cylindrical locks and the level normally written into healthcare and institutional specs, so it will sit alongside the rest of a Grade 1 hardware schedule. Among the cylindrical locks we carry, the Falcon K501 is also Grade 1 heavy duty, while the Cal-Royal Barrington BA series runs Grade 2.
10) Do I need to order a strike or prep the frame for a TownSteel CRX-A-72 dummy?
No frame work for the dummy. Because the CRX-A-72 has no latch, there is nothing to strike into, so the 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inch ASA strike and the 1-1/8 inch face plate listed for the CRX-A apply to the latching functions in the series, not to this one. What you do need is a door bored for a 2-3/4 inch backset cylindrical prep so the through-bolts land in the existing holes.
11) I am doing a whole behavioral health unit. Can I match the CRX-A-72 dummy to the locking doors?
That is the point of the dummy. Order CRX-A locking functions for the doors that need to secure and the CRX-A-72 for the closets, inactive leaves, and push/pull doors, and every opening on the unit carries the same 5 point ligature resistant arch trim in stainless steel. The series offers various cylinder and keying options on the keyed functions, so the keying schedule is set there; the -72 is non-keyed and takes no cylinder.
12) What is the difference between a back to back dummy and a passage lockset?
A passage set has a working latch: the lever or knob retracts a latchbolt and the door stays closed until you operate it. A back to back dummy like the CRX-A-72 has no latch and no moving mechanism at all, just fixed trim on both faces that you pull. Pick the dummy when a closer, a magnet, a ball catch, or roller latch already holds the door, or on the inactive leaf of a pair. If the door has to stay latched on its own, the dummy is the wrong function.
13) What else could I use if I need a Grade 1 cylindrical lock that actually latches instead of the CRX-A-72 dummy?
For a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical lock with a real latch, the Falcon K501 entrance lock with push-turnbutton is the option we carry, and it is fire rated. Cal-Royal's Barrington BA series covers the common functions at Grade 2: BA00 entrance, BA03 classroom (ANSI F84), BA05 storeroom (ANSI F86 deadlocking latch), BA04 communicating (ANSI F80). None of those carry the ligature resistant arch trim, though, so on a patient-at-risk opening stay within the TownSteel CRX-A series and pick a locking function there.
14) Is the BEST 9KW an alternative to the TownSteel CRX-A-72 for a behavioral health opening?
The BEST 9KW is a heavy duty electromechanical cylindrical lock with remote control operation, so it is an access-controlled opening that a staff member releases remotely. The CRX-A-72 is a mechanical back to back dummy, non-keyed, with 5 point ligature resistant stainless steel arch trim and tamper-resistant through-bolt mounting for high-risk areas in facilities housing patients at risk. Where the opening needs to be released from a nurse station, the 9KW is the electrified path; where it is a push or pull door that only needs ligature resistant trim on both faces, the CRX-A-72 is the direct fit.
15) What should I specify instead of the TownSteel CRX-A-72 on a classroom or communicating door?
The CRX-A-72 is dummy trim with a non-keyed function, so it offers no classroom or communicating operation. In the Cal-Royal Barrington BA series, the BA03 is a classroom function with Grade 2 ANSI F84 operation and the BA04 is a communicating function to ANSI F80 Grade 2; both fit doors 1-3/8 inches to 1-3/4 inches. Those cover the two openings the CRX-A-72 cannot, though neither carries the ligature resistant arch trim the CRX-A-72 provides.
16) Which cylindrical lock carries a fire rating if the CRX-A-72 is going on a rated opening?
The Falcon K501 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical entrance lock that is fire rated, with a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inches to 2-1/4 inches. The CRX-A-72 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical lock as well, mountable on both wood and metal doors, but it is a non-keyed back to back dummy. On a rated pair where one leaf needs a latching rated lock and the other only needs trim, the K501 handles the latching leaf.
17) Does a Grade 2 Barrington lock cover the same duty as the TownSteel CRX-A-72?
No. The CRX-A-72 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical lock for commercial use. The Cal-Royal Barrington BA05 is stated as Grade 2 in its ANSI F86 storeroom form, and the BA04 as ANSI F80 Grade 2. If the specification on the drawing calls for Grade 1 bored hardware, the Grade 1 peers are the CRX-A-72 itself and the Falcon K501, which is also Grade 1 heavy duty.
18) Can I get the TownSteel CRX-A-72 with an electronic or card reader option?
The CRX-A-72 is mechanical dummy trim, non-keyed, with no credential of any kind. If the opening needs remote or credentialed control, the BEST 9KW Series electromechanical cylindrical lock with remote control operation is the heavy duty option we carry for that. Be aware it does not carry the CRX-A ligature resistant arch trim, so it is not a like-for-like on a patient-at-risk door.
19) I need a simpler non-locking option than the CRX-A-72 for a door that just needs a pull. Is a Cal-Royal BA00 the answer?
The Cal-Royal BA00 is an entrance function with turn/push button locking in the Barrington BA series, fitting doors 1-3/8 inches to 1-3/4 inches, so it locks rather than simply providing trim. The CRX-A-72 is already the non-locking choice: a back to back dummy, non-keyed, with lever trim on both faces of a 1-3/4 inch door and tamper-resistant through-bolt mounting. For a pure push or pull opening, the BA00 adds a locking function that is not needed.
