TownSteel TWS-DRX-07-630 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the TownSteel DRX-07 anti-ligature deadbolt fit a 1-3/4 inch door?
That is the only thickness it is built for. The DRX-07 mortise deadbolt is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors, which is the standard commercial door thickness, so it drops onto typical hollow metal and solid core commercial openings. On a 1-3/8 inch older interior door it is the wrong part. Backset is 2-3/4 inches, and it is non-handed, so you do not specify left or right hand when ordering.
2) What size mortise pocket and strike prep does the TownSteel DRX-07 deadbolt need?
The DRX-07 uses a 1-1/4 x 4-5/8 inch face plate and a 1-1/8 x 3-1/2 inch standard strike. If you are replacing an existing mortise deadbolt, measure the existing face plate and strike cutout against those numbers first. Match them and it drops into the existing prep; if the old face plate is a different size, plan on filling and reprepping the door edge and the frame.
3) What does the F07 function on the TownSteel DRX-07 deadbolt actually do?
Key outside, thumbturn inside. The DRX-07 is the single cylinder version: the deadbolt is thrown and retracted by key from the outside face and by the anti-ligature thumbturn from the inside. If you need a bolt that a key can only retract and never project, that is the F09 function in the DRX Series. If you want no exterior trim at all and turn-only operation from inside, that is F18.
4) Is the TownSteel DRX-07 deadbolt certified for a behavioral health or correctional facility spec?
It carries ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Grade 1 certification, is UL Listed for fire rated performance, is ADA compliant through the thumbturn operation, and is BAA compliant under the Buy American Act. Grade 1 is the highest ANSI/BHMA rating for mortise deadbolts. That combination is what typically gets specified for behavioral health units, psychiatric and mental health facilities, correctional facilities, and hospitals where anti-ligature hardware is mandated, and the BAA compliance matters on federal and publicly funded projects.
5) Should I order the standard cylinder or the SFIC prep on the TownSteel DRX-07?
Two builds are offered, both 2-3/4 inch backset in 630 satin stainless. The standard cylinder version ships ready to key. The SFIC prep version comes less core, meaning the housing is prepped for a small format interchangeable core that you supply and key into your existing SFIC system. If your facility already runs SFIC across its doors, take the less core version so the locksmith drops your own core in. If you have no SFIC program, the standard cylinder is the one to order.
6) Do I need a separate lockset with the TownSteel DRX-07, or does it latch the door on its own?
A deadbolt only, no latch. The DRX-07 throws a bolt and holds the door locked; it has no latchbolt to keep a closed door in the frame and no lever or knob to operate. On an opening that needs both latching and deadbolting you pair it with a separate lockset or passage set. For a single device that latches and locks with a lever, look at a cylindrical lock such as the Falcon K501 Grade 1 entrance lock, which fits 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors and is fire rated, though it is not anti-ligature hardware.
7) What is the difference between an anti-ligature deadbolt and a standard commercial deadbolt or turn button lock?
The thumbturn geometry. The DRX-07 uses a rounded anti-ligature thumbturn so there is no protruding lip or edge that a cord or sheet can be looped over, which is what gets it specified in behavioral health and detention work. A conventional turn or push button lock, such as the Cal-Royal BA00 entrance lock in the Barrington BA series, gives you the same locking action but with standard trim, and is the right choice on an office or storeroom where ligature risk is not part of the spec. If your project scope says ligature resistant, standard trim will not pass inspection.
8) I need a lock on a psych unit door that can be released remotely as well as by key. Is the TownSteel DRX-07 the right part?
No, it is purely mechanical. The DRX-07 is a key and thumbturn deadbolt with no electrified option, so there is no way to release it from a nurse station or an access control panel. For remote operation on an institutional opening, the BEST 9KW Series electromechanical cylindrical lock is a heavy duty option built for remote control operation. Note that the 9KW is a cylindrical lock, not anti-ligature hardware, so it does not substitute where the spec calls for a ligature resistant thumbturn.
9) Is the Falcon K501 a substitute for the TownSteel DRX-07 anti-ligature deadbolt?
No - they do different jobs on the door. The TownSteel DRX-07 is a deadbolt with a cylinder outside and an anti-ligature thumbturn inside, so it throws a bolt and does nothing to hold the door latched. The Falcon K501 is a Grade 1 entrance cylindrical lock with a push-turnbutton function, meaning it is a latching knob or lever set that secures the door on its own. Both are Grade 1 heavy duty, so if the opening needs a single latching lock the K501 stands alone, while the DRX-07 is used where a separate deadbolt is wanted or where an anti-ligature thumbturn is required.
10) The door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches - what Grade 1 commercial lock fits it?
The TownSteel DRX-07 anti-ligature mortise deadbolt is built for a 1-3/4 inch door. For a thicker leaf, the Falcon K501 entrance cylindrical lock covers a 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range and is Grade 1 heavy duty with a fire rating, so it suits a thick commercial door that needs a latching lock. Note that the K501 is a latching entrance set with a push-turnbutton, not a deadbolt, so it is a different function than a keyed deadbolt with an inside turn.
11) Can a Cal-Royal Barrington entrance lock be used on a behavioral health room instead of the TownSteel DRX-07?
The Cal-Royal BA00 is an entrance cylindrical lock with turn/push button locking for a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door, and it is specified where a standard keyed entrance function is wanted. The TownSteel DRX-07 is the part built for ligature-resistant work: its rounded anti-ligature thumbturn is what makes it suitable for behavioral health units, psychiatric and correctional facilities, and hospitals, and it carries ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Grade 1 with UL listing and ADA and BAA compliance. If the room schedule calls for anti-ligature hardware, the projecting turn button on a standard entrance lock is not the same thing.
12) Can I get TownSteel DRX-07 deadbolts keyed alike across a whole wing of doors?
Keying is a required selection on the DRX-07. Key different is the standard choice, key alike is available for running multiple locks on one key, and a specific key code can be entered if the building is on an existing keyway system. For a non-keyed function there is an N/A option. Ordering a set keyed alike is the normal move for a unit or wing where staff carry one key.
13) What finish does the TownSteel DRX-07 deadbolt come in, and will it match the rest of my hardware?
630 satin stainless steel is the only finish offered on the DRX-07, on both the standard cylinder and SFIC prep builds. 630 is the standard commercial institutional finish, so it lines up with the satin stainless levers, exit devices, and hinges already on most healthcare and correctional openings. If your building is standardized on a bronze or brass finish, this will not match.
14) Is the TownSteel DRX-07 heavy duty enough for a high traffic institutional door?
Heavy duty commercial construction is what the DRX Series is built around, rated ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Grade 1 with resistance to forced entry. That is the top grade for mortise deadbolts and it is the duty level a hospital corridor, a detention room, or a care home door needs. Among Grade 1 alternatives we carry, the Falcon K501 is also Grade 1 heavy duty, but it is an entrance lockset rather than a deadbolt.
15) Does handing matter when ordering the TownSteel DRX-07 deadbolt?
No handing to specify. The DRX-07 is non-handed, so one part number works on a left hand or right hand door, inswing or outswing. For a property manager buying a batch across mixed openings, that means you order quantity, backset, cylinder type, and keying, and nothing else has to be surveyed door by door.
16) For a storeroom that needs a keyed lock rather than a deadbolt, what is used instead of the TownSteel DRX-07?
The DRX-07 is a single cylinder deadbolt - key outside, thumbturn inside - and it does not latch the door. A storeroom opening that should stay latched and locked at all times is normally handled by a storeroom-function lockset such as the Cal-Royal BA05 in the Barrington BA series, which is a Grade 2 ANSI F86 storeroom cylindrical lock with a deadlocking latch and fits a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door. Where a facility wants both, the BA05 handles the latch and the DRX-07 adds a bolt on the same 1-3/4 inch leaf.
17) What do I use on a classroom or communicating door instead of an anti-ligature deadbolt?
Those openings are function-specific and a deadbolt does not cover them. A classroom door is handled by a classroom-function lockset such as the Cal-Royal BA03, a Grade 2 ANSI F84 classroom cylindrical lock in the Barrington BA series. A door between two rooms that each need to lock the other out uses a communicating function such as the Cal-Royal BA04, ANSI F80 Grade 2. Both fit a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door. The TownSteel DRX-07 is a cylinder-and-thumbturn deadbolt for a 1-3/4 inch door and is chosen where an anti-ligature turn is called for, not where a classroom or communicating latch function is on the schedule.
