TownSteel MRX-A-02-630-RH – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the TownSteel MRX-A-02 ligature resistant mortise lock fit a 1-3/4 inch door?
Yes, and only that thickness. The MRX-A-02 is built for 1-3/4 inch doors, which is the standard commercial door thickness. It mounts on either a wood or a metal door, and the mounting screws are tamper resistant.
2) What does the -02 privacy function on the TownSteel MRX-A do?
It is a privacy/bed/bath function with a deadbolt, so the occupant can secure the door from inside without a key on the outside. The lock is non-keyed in operation, which is what you want on patient bedrooms and bathrooms in behavioral health settings.
3) Is the MRX-A mortise lock suitable for a behavioral health or psychiatric unit?
That is exactly what it is built for. The MRX-A carries a 5-point ligature-resistant stainless steel arch trim and is intended for behavioral, mental, and psychiatric healthcare facilities housing at-risk patients. Tamper-resistant mounting screws come with it.
4) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the TownSteel MRX-A-02?
Yes. The MRX-A-02 is ordered by hand: left hand, left hand reverse, right hand, or right hand reverse. Stand outside the opening, note which side the hinges are on and which way the door swings, and pick accordingly. Reverse designations are for doors that swing out toward you.
5) What strike and faceplate come with the MRX-A mortise lock, and will it drop into an existing ASA prep?
It uses a 1-1/4 by 4-7/8 inch ASA strike and a 1-1/4 by 8 inch stainless steel faceplate. If your frame is already prepped for a standard ASA strike and the door has a standard mortise pocket, the strike side lines up. The trim is the part that changes, since the arch trim footprint is different from a lever and rose.
6) Is there a standard lever privacy mortise lock I could use instead of the ligature resistant MRX-A-02?
If the opening is not a patient room and ligature resistance is not required, a conventional Grade 1 privacy mortise lock is the cheaper route. The Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lockset with deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3840S is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset. Neither is ligature resistant, so they do not belong on at-risk patient openings.
7) Is there another ligature-resistant option if a behavioral health door needs push/pull operation instead of the MRX-A-02 arch trim?
Yes. The Marks USA 5PDN is a Grade 1 hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset that is ligature resistant, ADA compliant, and finished in satin stainless steel. It is a passage device, so it gives no privacy locking; the TownSteel MRX-A-02 is a privacy function with deadbolt. Use the 5PDN on corridor or day-room doors that must stay free-swinging and the MRX-A-02 on patient bath and bedroom doors that need to lock.
8) What is a standard-trim Grade 1 privacy mortise lock to use instead of the TownSteel MRX-A-02 on a door that does not need ligature resistance?
The Cal-Royal NM8440 is a heavy duty Grade 1 privacy mortise lockset with deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, the same function and grade as the MRX-A-02 but with conventional lever trim rather than the 5-point ligature-resistant stainless steel arch trim. The Hager 3840S is another Grade 1 privacy mortise lock, with a 2-3/4 inch backset and a door thickness range of 1-3/4 to 2 inches. Use the MRX-A-02 where patients at risk are housed and the standard-trim options on back-of-house or staff doors.
9) Does the TownSteel MRX-A-02 come with a cylinder, or do I order one separately?
A cylinder is included with the MRX-A. The standard cylinder option is what is offered on the -02 privacy configuration, so you are not sourcing a separate cylinder to complete the lockset.
10) Is the TownSteel MRX-A rated for heavy traffic institutional use?
It is an ANSI Grade 1 mortise lock rated heavy duty and catalogued for commercial installations. Grade 1 is the highest ANSI/BHMA durability tier, which is what specifiers call for in hospitals, correctional and institutional openings.
11) Can an electronic privacy mortise lock replace the TownSteel MRX-A-02?
The Schlage CO-100-MS-40-KP is a standalone electronic mortise lock in privacy function, Grade 1, heavy duty, for 1-3/4 inch doors with a keypad reader. It matches the MRX-A-02 on grade, function, and door thickness, but it is a keypad-credential device with conventional trim, while the MRX-A-02 is a fully mechanical lock with ligature-resistant arch trim and tamper-resistant mounting screws.
12) What mortise lock should I order instead of the TownSteel MRX-A-02 for a classroom or office door in the same building?
For classroom function, the Cal-Royal NM8070 is a heavy duty Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 mortise classroom lockset also for 1-3/4 inch doors. For office/entrance, the Cal-Royal NM8050 is a Grade 1 office/entrance mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch. All three are keyed functions; the MRX-A-02 is non-keyed privacy with deadbolt.
13) Is a mortise deadbolt like the Sargent 4874 an alternative to the TownSteel MRX-A-02?
No, they do different jobs. The Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset and no latch or lever operation, so it needs a separate latch set to make the door usable. The TownSteel MRX-A-02 is a complete privacy lockset with deadbolt and ligature-resistant arch trim, supplied with a cylinder and an ASA strike measuring 1-1/4 by 4-7/8 inches.
14) What is the difference between the TownSteel MRX-A-02 and a mortise lock body sold on its own, like the BEST 45H?
The BEST 45H is a heavy duty mortise lock body in public entrance function that is field reversible and is ordered without trim, so levers, roses or escutcheons are specified separately. The TownSteel MRX-A-02 is a complete lockset that includes the ligature-resistant arch trim and a cylinder, and it is ordered by hand: left hand, left hand reverse, right hand, or right hand reverse.
15) If I need a dormitory or storeroom function instead of privacy on a TownSteel MRX-A-02 opening, what are the options?
The Sargent 7925 is a Grade 1 heavy duty dormitory exit function mortise lock with rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt, and the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors with an interchangeable core option. Both use conventional trim, so neither carries the ligature-resistant arch trim of the MRX-A-02.
16) What finish does the ligature resistant MRX-A-02 arch trim come in?
630 satin stainless steel, on all handings. That is the standard institutional finish, so it will match satin stainless push plates, hinges and pulls already on the floor.
17) Will a Schlage PM010 work where a TownSteel MRX-A-02 is specified?
Only if the door does not need to lock. The Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 non-keyed passage latch mortise lock for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock with field reversible operation and a fire rating. Both are latch-only. The TownSteel MRX-A-02 is a privacy function with a deadbolt, which is what a patient bath or bedroom door normally requires.
