TownSteel MRX-A-07-630-RH – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the TownSteel MRX-A-07 mortise lock work on a behavioral health patient room door?
That is what the MRX-A-07 is built for. It is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock with a 5-point ligature-resistant stainless steel arch trim, intended for behavioral, mental and psychiatric healthcare facilities housing patients at risk. The sloped arch trim gives nothing for a cord or sheet to catch on, and the mounting screws are tamper-resistant so the trim cannot be pulled off the door with a coin or a flat blade. Storeroom function means the outside trim is always rigid and the door is always locked; a key retracts the latch, and the inside trim always allows free egress.
2) How do I determine the handing when ordering a TownSteel MRX-A-07?
Handing is specified at order time and there are four choices: LH (left hand), LHR (left hand reverse), RH (right hand), and RHR (right hand reverse). Stand outside the door, on the key side. If the hinges are on your left and the door swings away from you, that is LH; away-swinging with hinges right is RH. If the door swings toward you it is the reverse version, LHR or RHR. Reverse handing is the usual call on a patient room or corridor door that pulls out into the hallway.
3) Can I get the TownSteel MRX-A prepped for a small format interchangeable core?
Yes. The cylinder choice is made when you order: Standard cylinder, or SFIC Prep, Less Core. SFIC Prep, Less Core ships with the housing ready for a small format interchangeable core but no core in it, which is what you want if your facility already runs its own SFIC keyway and pins its own cores. Choose Standard if you want the lock to arrive with a cylinder in it ready to key. Both cylinder options are offered in all four handings.
4) Can I use the MRX-A-07 storeroom lock on a classroom or office door where staff need to leave it unlocked?
No, and this is the common ordering mistake. Storeroom function keeps the outside trim locked at all times with no way to hold it unlocked; the key only retracts the latch while it is turned. If you need a door that can be left in a passage state or locked down from inside, order a different function. The Cal-Royal NM8070 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the NM8050 is the Grade 1 office/entrance version with an auxiliary deadlatch.
5) Which ligature-resistant mortise device should I use instead of the TownSteel MRX-A-07 on a patient room door that must not be locked?
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 the door latches without keyed control. The MRX-A-07 is a storeroom function lockset with a single cylinder and is supplied with a cylinder, so the outside stays locked and is retracted by key. Use the 5PDN where the opening must stay free-swinging for patients and the MRX-A-07 where staff-only access is the requirement, such as a med room or supply closet. Both are satin stainless steel, so they read the same down a corridor.
6) What is the closest Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset to the TownSteel MRX-A-07 if the door does not need ligature resistance?
The Cal-Royal NM8080 is a heavy duty Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset for a 1-3/4 inch door, with an interchangeable core option. The MRX-A-07 is also Grade 1 storeroom for a 1-3/4 inch door, and it differs in the trim: a 5-point ligature-resistant stainless steel arch trim with tamper-resistant mounting screws, which is what makes it suited to behavioral, mental, and psychiatric facilities housing patients at risk. On a stockroom or utility door in an office or school, the NM8080 covers the same storeroom function without the arch trim. The Accentra 8805FL is another Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock, supplied with an Arcadia lever.
7) Can I key a batch of MRX-A locks alike across a wing of patient rooms?
Yes. Keying is a required selection on the order: KD keyed different (the standard), KA keyed alike for multiple locks on one key, or Key Code for a specific existing keying, where you enter the code with the order. For a facility standardizing a corridor or a wing, KA is the choice; if you are matching an existing master system, use Key Code and supply the code. The MRX-A is a single cylinder lock, so there is one keyed side.
8) Is the TownSteel MRX-A an electronic or access control lock?
No, the MRX-A is fully mechanical, key operated, with no wiring and no credential reader. If the opening needs card or code access, that is a different product: the Schlage CO-100 is a standalone electronic mortise lock with a keypad reader for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the BEST 45HW is a wired electromechanical mortise lock running 12V or 24V. Neither of those carries a ligature resistant arch trim, so on a patient at risk door the mechanical MRX-A is the one that meets the trim requirement.
9) Is a cylinder included with the TownSteel MRX-A-07, or do I have to buy it separately?
The MRX-A includes a cylinder when you order the Standard cylinder option, so the lock arrives complete and keyed to your selection. Order it as SFIC Prep, Less Core and the cylinder housing is prepped but the core is not supplied, so you will need to furnish your own small format core. Tamper-resistant mounting screws come with the lock as well.
10) Is the TownSteel MRX-A rated for high traffic institutional use?
It is a Grade 1, heavy duty commercial mortise lock, which is the top ANSI/BHMA grade for durability and strength and the level specified for institutional and high traffic openings. That is the grade a hospital, school or government facility spec normally calls for, and it is the same grade as commercial peers like the Corbin Russwin ML2000 Series and the Sargent 7900 Series.
11) What should I order instead of the TownSteel MRX-A-07 if access has to be controlled by credential rather than key?
The MRX-A-07 is a mechanical lockset with no electronic component, keyed by single cylinder. For credentialed access on a mortise prep, the Schlage LEMD-GRW is a Grade 1 ENGAGE Series wireless mortise lock with a 125kHz proximity reader and a mobile-enabled deadbolt with LED, carrying a 3 hour fire rating, right hand. The Dormakaba E-Plex E5086 is a Grade 1 entry/egress electronic pushbutton and card mortise lock in a back-to-back arrangement. Neither carries the 5-point ligature-resistant arch trim of the MRX-A-07, so on a patient-risk opening the mechanical MRX-A-07 remains the trim that matches the requirement.
12) Can I use a BEST 45H mortise lock body in place of the TownSteel MRX-A-07?
They are not the same purchase. The BEST 45H is a heavy duty mortise lock body in public entrance function, field reversible, and the 45HCA is a heavy duty mortise lockbody in intruder function; both are lock bodies, so trim is ordered separately. The MRX-A-07 is a complete heavy duty Grade 1 storeroom lockset that includes the cylinder and the 5-point ligature-resistant stainless steel arch trim with tamper-resistant mounting screws. If you are replacing a failed lock body behind existing trim, a body-only part is the right shape of order; if you are outfitting the opening front to back, the MRX-A-07 arrives as the assembly.
13) What is the difference between the TownSteel MRX-A-07 and the Corbin Russwin ML2003 for a facility standardizing on mortise locks?
Both are Grade 1 mortise locksets for a 1-3/4 inch door. The ML2003 is a classroom function lockset in the ML2000 Series. The MRX-A-07 is a storeroom function lockset in the MRX-A Series with a 1-1/4 inch by 8 inch stainless steel face plate and a 1-1/4 inch by 4-7/8 inch ASA strike, and it mounts on wood or metal doors. Facilities commonly standardize by opening type rather than by one part: classroom function where occupants lock down from inside, storeroom where the door is always secure from outside. For storeroom in the same 1-3/4 inch prep, Cal-Royal NM8080 and Accentra 8805FL are Grade 1 storeroom peers.
14) The TownSteel MRX-A-07 fits a 1-3/4 inch door. What are my options on a thicker or thinner door?
The MRX-A-07 is listed for a 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The Hager 3810S and 3810E, Grade 1 passage mortise locks with a 2-3/4 inch backset, cover 1-3/4 inch through 2-1/2 inch, and the Baldwin 6310 entry/storeroom mortise lock body covers 1-3/8 inch and over. Note the function change: the Hager 3810 parts are passage, so they do not lock, while the Baldwin 6310 is an entrance/storeroom body in a 2-1/2 inch backset. Neither carries the ligature-resistant arch trim, so for a patient-risk opening confirm the door is 1-3/4 inch before specifying the MRX-A-07.
15) I need a ligature-resistant mortise lock but with privacy for a patient bathroom. Does the TownSteel MRX-A-07 do that?
No. The MRX-A-07 is a storeroom function lock with a single cylinder, keyed from the outside and always secure, which is the wrong control for a bathroom. Among mortise privacy options, the Cal-Royal NM8440 is a heavy duty Grade 1 privacy bed and bath mortise lockset with a deadbolt for a 1-3/4 inch door, and the Hager 3840S is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. For a patient-accessible bathroom where hardware profile matters, the Marks USA 5PDN is a Grade 1 ligature-resistant, ADA compliant hospital passage push/pull paddleset in satin stainless steel.
16) Which mortise lock replaces the TownSteel MRX-A-07 on a dormitory or corridor door where occupants lock behind them?
The Sargent 7925 is a heavy duty Grade 1 dormitory exit function mortise lock in the 7900 Series with rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt, corridor and dormitory function. That gives an inside-controlled deadbolt for a resident room. The MRX-A-07 is Grade 1 storeroom, single cylinder, with no deadbolt, so the outside is always locked and there is no occupant control. Choose the 7925 for resident-controlled corridor doors and the MRX-A-07 where the arch trim and staff-only key access are required.
17) What finish does the TownSteel MRX-A-07 ligature resistant lockset come in?
630 satin stainless steel, and that is the only finish offered on the MRX-A-07. Every handing and cylinder combination is built in 630. Satin stainless is the standard match for the rest of the stainless hardware on a behavioral health opening, so it will sit alongside 630 hinges, push plates and paddles without a color mismatch.
18) Is the Schlage L0170 dummy trim an alternative to the TownSteel MRX-A-07 on an inactive leaf?
They serve different purposes. The L0170 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise non-keyed half dummy trim lever lock in the L Series for a 1-3/4 inch door; dummy trim provides a pull with no latch and no locking. The MRX-A-07 is a Grade 1 storeroom lockset that latches and includes a cylinder. On a pair of doors, the inactive leaf can take dummy trim while the active leaf takes the MRX-A-07. Do not substitute dummy trim where the opening has to secure.
19) How does the TownSteel MRX-A-07 compare with the Falcon MA101 for a Grade 1 mortise opening?
The MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise passage lock in the MA Series, fire rated and field reversible, in passage, hall, and closet function. It has no cylinder and does not lock. The MRX-A-07 is Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom function, keyed by a single cylinder, and it is offered in left hand, left hand reverse, right hand, and right hand reverse. Use the MA101 on a closet or corridor pass-through and the MRX-A-07 where the door has to stay locked to the outside.
20) The TownSteel MRX-A-07 can be ordered with SFIC prep less core. Which comparable storeroom mortise lock also takes an interchangeable core?
The Cal-Royal NM8080 is a heavy duty Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset with an interchangeable core option for a 1-3/4 inch door. The MRX-A-07 is offered either with a standard cylinder or as SFIC prep less core, in satin stainless steel and in all four handings. Both let a locksmith key the opening into an existing small format core system rather than to a supplied cylinder.
