TownSteel CRX-A-86-630-LH – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What backset do I order on the TownSteel CRX-A-86, and does it cover a 5 inch backset door?
Two backsets are offered on the CRX-A-86: 2-3/4 inch standard and 5 inch. The 5 inch option is the one for hospital and behavioral health openings where the lock has to sit further off the edge of the door, which is common on doors with a wider stile or where staff want the lever away from the jamb. Every handing and cylinder prep is available in both backsets, so the backset choice does not limit the rest of the order.
2) Do I have to specify handing when ordering a TownSteel CRX-A-86 ligature resistant lockset?
Handing matters here, and it is not field reversible on the order form. The CRX-A-86 is ordered as LH, LHR, RH, or RHR. Stand outside the opening, on the key side: if the hinges are on your left it is left hand, and if the door swings toward you rather than away it is the reverse version. Get this wrong on an arch trim lock and the trim pitches the wrong direction on the door face.
3) Can I get the TownSteel CRX-A-86 to key into my existing Schlage or Corbin small format cores?
Yes. The CRX-A-86 can be ordered with Schlage FSIC prep, Corbin FSIC prep, or SFIC prep, all supplied less core, so you drop in the cores you already run and the lock joins your existing key system with no rekeying at the factory. A standard cylinder version is also offered if you are not on an interchangeable core system. It is a single cylinder, keyed outside only, which is what storeroom function calls for.
4) What does storeroom function mean on the TownSteel CRX-A-86, and is it right for a patient room?
Storeroom function means the outside lever is always locked and takes a key every time; the inside lever always retracts the latch for free egress. There is no button or thumbturn to leave the door unsecured, which is exactly why it suits medication rooms, soiled utility, equipment storage, and staff-only doors in a behavioral health facility. It is the wrong pick for a patient room door that occupants need to lock or unlock themselves from either side.
5) Will the TownSteel CRX-A-86 latch into the ASA strike already in my metal frame?
It ships with a 1-1/4 by 4-7/8 inch ASA strike, which is the standard commercial hollow metal frame prep, so in most existing frames the new lock lands in the cutout that is already there. The latch face plate is 1-1/8 inch. If your frame carries a T strike or a full lip curved strike instead, the frame will need to be prepped or a filler used.
6) What makes the TownSteel CRX-A different from a normal lever lock for a behavioral health unit?
A standard lever gives a patient a projecting anchor point. The CRX-A replaces it with a 5-point ligature resistant stainless steel arch trim, sloped so cord or fabric slides off rather than catching, and the description states it meets ligature resistant requirements. That is the whole reason to specify it over a conventional lever lock on a psychiatric, detention, or at-risk patient opening. A standard Grade 1 cylindrical lever like the Falcon K501 is fine for a back-of-house door, but it is not a ligature resistant trim.
7) Can I retrofit a TownSteel CRX-A-86 into a door that already has a cylindrical lock?
Usually, if the numbers line up. It is a cylindrical lock, not a mortise, so it goes into a bored door prep. The two things to check on the existing door are the backset, which must be 2-3/4 or 5 inches to match one of the ordered options, and the door thickness, which needs to be 1-3/4 inches. The frame side is normally the easy part since the lock takes the standard 1-1/4 by 4-7/8 inch ASA strike. TownSteel publishes a template for the CRX-A, so compare it to your existing cross bore before you cut anything.
8) Will a TownSteel CRX-A-86 fit a 1-3/8 inch door, and what fits if it will not?
The CRX-A-86 is specified for a 1-3/4 inch door thickness. For a thinner leaf, the Cal-Royal Barrington BA Series covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch across its functions - the BA05 storeroom, BA03 classroom, BA00 entrance and BA04 communicating all carry that range. The Falcon K501 entrance lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Match the function first, then the thickness: BA05 is the storeroom equivalent in that group.
9) What is the closest Grade 1 cylindrical storeroom lock to the TownSteel CRX-A-86 if the opening does not need ligature resistant trim?
The CRX-A-86 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical lock in storeroom function with a 5 point ligature resistant stainless steel arch trim, intended for high-risk areas in facilities housing patients at risk. On a standard corridor or utility opening where that trim is not required, the Falcon K501 is the peer to look at: it is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical lock in the K Series carrying a fire rating, in entrance function with a push-turnbutton. Keep the CRX-A-86 where the trim requirement drives the specification, and note the function difference - storeroom keeps the outside lever fixed and key-only, while the K501 entrance function lets the inside turnbutton lock the outside lever.
10) Is the Cal-Royal BA05 a substitute for the TownSteel CRX-A-86 on a behavioral health door?
They share the storeroom function, but they are not the same class of lock. The Cal-Royal BA05 is a Barrington BA Series storeroom cylindrical lock at Grade 2 with an ANSI F86 deadlocking latch. The TownSteel CRX-A-86 is Grade 1 heavy duty and carries a 5 point ligature resistant stainless steel arch trim with tamper-resistant through-bolt mounting, which is what makes it the choice for high-risk areas in facilities housing patients at risk. Use the BA05 where a Grade 2 storeroom lock meets the spec and no ligature resistant trim is called for; where the trim is the requirement, the BA05 does not answer it.
11) Can the CRX-A ligature resistant lockset go on a wood door, or is it steel frame only?
Both. The CRX-A mounts on wood and on metal doors, and it uses through-bolt mounting with tamper-resistant screws, which is what holds it solid on a wood door where a resident may hang weight on the trim. That through-bolting is also the reason it cannot be pulled off with a standard driver.
12) Is the TownSteel CRX-A-86 Grade 1, and will it hold up on a high traffic institutional door?
Grade 1, heavy duty, and specified as commercial. Grade 1 is the top ANSI/BHMA cylindrical lock grade and the one most institutional and government specs call for on high use openings. Among the cylindrical locks we carry, the Cal-Royal Barrington storeroom lock is a Grade 2 alternative for lighter duty; the Falcon K501 is also Grade 1 heavy duty but is entrance function rather than storeroom.
13) Does the TownSteel CRX-A-86 come with a core, or do I need to order cylinders separately?
It depends on the prep you pick. The Schlage FSIC, Corbin FSIC, and SFIC versions all ship less core, so the cores are a separate line on your order and normally come from whoever maintains your key system. The standard cylinder option comes as a complete keyed cylinder. If you are standardizing a facility on one keyway, the less core preps are the ones to buy.
14) What lock do I use for a pair of doors between two rooms where the TownSteel CRX-A-86 storeroom function does not apply?
Storeroom function on the CRX-A-86 keeps the outside lever locked at all times with key retraction only, which does not serve an opening that has to be locked or unlocked from either side. For that condition the Cal-Royal BA04 is the communicating lock, Barrington BA Series, ANSI F80 at Grade 2, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. If the requirement is a keyed entrance with turn or push button locking rather than communicating, the Cal-Royal BA00 covers that same thickness range.
15) I need a classroom function lock instead of a storeroom lock in the same cylindrical prep - what do I order?
The TownSteel CRX-A-86 is built as a storeroom function lock, so the outside lever stays locked and is retracted by key only. If the opening needs classroom function, the Cal-Royal BA03 is the peer in the same bored cylindrical family: a Barrington BA Series classroom lock at Grade 2 with ANSI F84 function, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The CRX-A-86 is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors. Function is the decision here - classroom lets a key lock and unlock the outside lever from outside, which storeroom does not do.
16) Can I get the same opening on access control instead of a keyed TownSteel CRX-A-86?
The CRX-A-86 is a mechanical cylindrical lock, single cylinder keyed, ordered with standard cylinder or with SFIC, Schlage FSIC or Corbin FSIC prep less core. If the opening is moving to electronic credentials in the same cylindrical prep, the BEST 9KW Series is the heavy duty electromechanical cylindrical lock with remote control operation. The trade is control method against trim: the 9KW is operated remotely, while the CRX-A-86 brings the 5 point ligature resistant arch trim and tamper-resistant through-bolt mounting.
