TownSteel MRX-A-01-630-RH – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the TownSteel MRX-A-01 mortise lock fit a 1-3/4 inch door?
Yes, and only that thickness. The MRX-A-01 is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors, which is the standard commercial door thickness. It mounts on either a wood or a metal door. If your openings are thicker, this is not the lock for them.
2) Does the MRX-A-01 lock the door, or is it passage only?
Passage only. The MRX-A-01 is a non-keyed passage/hall/closet function, so the arch trim retracts the latch from both sides at all times and the door never locks. For patient rooms or spaces that need to secure, pick a keyed function from the MRX-A family instead.
3) What makes the MRX-A ligature resistant, and where is it used?
The trim is a 5-point ligature-resistant stainless steel arch: there is no lever or knob to loop a cord over, and the mounting screws are tamper resistant. It is built for behavioral, mental health, and psychiatric facilities housing patients at risk. A standard lever mortise lock, even a Grade 1 one, gives you a ligature point at every door.
4) Do I have to specify handing when I order the TownSteel MRX-A-01?
Yes. The MRX-A-01 is ordered by hand: left hand, left hand reverse, right hand, or right hand reverse. Stand outside the door, on the side it is hinged to swing away from, to determine hand before you order. Finish is satin stainless steel (630) across all four handings.
5) Will the MRX-A-01 drop into my existing ASA strike prep?
It should. The MRX-A-01 ships with a 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inch ASA strike, which is the standard commercial mortise strike prep, and the stainless faceplate is 1-1/4 x 8 inches. If the frame you are retrofitting already carries an ASA-prepped mortise lock, the cutout matches. The door face prep for the arch trim is what you should template against.
6) What else could I use for a ligature-resistant passage opening besides the TownSteel MRX-A?
The closest alternative we carry is the Marks USA 5PDN, a Grade 1 hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset in satin stainless that is also ligature resistant and ADA compliant. Choose between them on trim style: the MRX-A uses a fixed arch pull, the 5PDN a push/pull paddle. If ligature resistance is not a requirement, a conventional Grade 1 mortise passage lock like the Falcon MA101 or Schlage PM010 is the simpler buy, but both use standard lever trim.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the TownSteel MRX-A-01 if I need a ligature resistant passage mortise set but want push/pull operation instead of arch trim?
The Marks USA MAR5PDN 5PDN is a Grade 1 hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset that is ligature resistant, ADA compliant and supplied in satin stainless steel. It covers the same behavioral-health passage opening as the MRX-A-01, which is a Grade 1 non-keyed passage mortise lock with a 5-point ligature-resistant stainless steel arch trim. The difference is the operating device: paddle push/pull on the Marks, a sloped arch pull on the TownSteel.
8) If the opening does not need ligature resistance, what is a standard Grade 1 passage mortise lock to use instead of the MRX-A-01?
The Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy-duty mortise passage lock with field reversible operation and a fire rating, and the Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 non-keyed passage latch mortise lock for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both give you passage function on a mortise prep with conventional lever trim. The MRX-A-01 is the choice when the opening is in a behavioral, mental or psychiatric setting and the trim itself has to resist ligature attachment.
9) Is the MRX-A-01 heavy duty enough for a hospital corridor?
It is an ANSI Grade 1 mortise lockset rated heavy duty and catalogued for commercial use. Grade 1 is the top commercial rating under ANSI/BHMA and is what institutional specs normally call for on high-traffic openings.
10) Is a cylinder included with the MRX-A-01 passage lockset?
The MRX-A ships with a cylinder, and the standard cylinder option is what you select when ordering. Note the -01 is a non-keyed passage function, so nothing on the door keys or locks in normal operation.
11) Can I use a cylindrical passage lock instead of the MRX-A-01 on a 1-3/4 inch door?
Only if the door is prepped for a cylindrical bore rather than a mortise pocket. The Schlage PC10 is a Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock with rose trim for 1-3/4 inch doors, which is a different door prep entirely. The MRX-A-01 is a mortise lock for 1-3/4 inch doors with a 1-1/4 inch x 8 inch stainless faceplate and a 1-1/4 inch x 4-7/8 inch ASA strike. Swapping between the two means changing the door and frame prep.
12) I need the same ligature-resistant mortise look but with classroom security indicator function - what should I order?
The Marks USA LA318GJ is a Grade 1 classroom security indicator mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors, supplied with an ANSI strike and a steel escutcheon measuring 8-1/2 inch H x 2-3/4 inch W x 7/16 inch. The MRX-A-01 is non-keyed passage function, so it has no locking or indicator capability; if the door has to be secured from inside, the LA318GJ is the functional match on the same 1-3/4 inch mortise prep.
13) What looks like a substitute for the MRX-A-01 but will not work as a passage set?
Dummy trim. The Schlage L0170 is a Grade 1 mortise non-keyed half dummy trim for 1-3/4 inch doors with no latch at all, and the Falcon MESC600DT is dummy escutcheon lever trim for M9900 exit devices. Both are non-keyed mortise items, but neither operates a latchbolt. The MRX-A-01 is a full passage lockset with a working latch, cylinder and ASA strike.
14) Is there a Grade 1 mortise passage alternative to the MRX-A-01 that accepts thicker doors?
The Hager 3810E and 3810S are 3800 Series Grade 1 passage mortise locks with a 2-3/4 inch backset covering doors from 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/2 inch, the 3810E with escutcheon and the 3810S with rose trim. The MRX-A-01 is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors, so for a thicker leaf the Hager pair is the passage option; you give up the 5-point ligature-resistant arch trim by doing so.
15) Do I need to order handing like the MRX-A-01 requires, or is there a non-handed mortise lock instead?
The MRX-A-01 is ordered by hand - LH, LHR, RH and RHR are the handing choices in satin stainless steel 630. If you would rather stock one part for any opening, the Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy-duty mortise passage lock with field reversible operation, and the BEST 45HCA public entrance lockbody is also field reversible. Those trade away the ligature-resistant arch trim of the MRX-A-01.
16) Is the MRX-A-01 an electronic or access control lock?
No, it is a purely mechanical mortise lockset with no electronics. If the opening needs credential access, that is a different product class entirely, such as the BEST 45HW wired electromechanical mortise lock or a Schlage CO-100 standalone keypad mortise lock.
17) What is the difference between the MRX-A-01 and a Cal-Royal NM8050 for a heavy traffic corridor door?
The Cal-Royal NM8050 is a heavy duty Grade 1 office/entrance mortise lockset with an auxiliary deadlatch for 1-3/4 inch doors, so the outside lever can be locked and the latch is deadlatched. The MRX-A-01 is a heavy duty Grade 1 mortise set for 1-3/4 inch doors in non-keyed passage function, latch only, with ligature-resistant arch trim. Choose by whether the corridor door has to lock.
18) Is there an electronic mortise lock I can use on the same opening instead of the MRX-A-01?
Yes, several, though they are not ligature resistant. The Schlage CO-100 is a Grade 1 standalone electronic mortise lock with a keypad reader in privacy function for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Alarm Lock DL3500CR is a Grade 1 Trilogy electronic mortise lock with 300 user codes in classroom function. The MRX-A-01 is a non-electronic passage set, so moving to either of these changes the opening from free passage to credential-controlled.
