TownSteel MRX-A-22-630-RH – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the MRX-A-22 have a deadbolt, and how does the privacy function work?
No deadbolt. The MRX-A-22 is the privacy/bed/bath function of the MRX-A ligature resistant mortise series, latch only, so the door secures on the latchbolt when the privacy side is engaged. If the job calls for a privacy lockset that throws a separate deadbolt, look at the Cal-Royal NM8440, a Grade 1 privacy mortise lockset with deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors. Bear in mind the NM8440 is a conventional lever set, not ligature resistant trim.
2) Is this TownSteel lockset suitable for a behavioral health or psychiatric patient room door?
That is exactly what the MRX-A was built for. It uses a 5-point ligature resistant stainless steel arch trim with no protruding lever to take a cord or strap, and it ships with tamper resistant mounting screws so the trim cannot be removed with a common driver from the patient side. TownSteel lists it for behavioral, mental and psychiatric healthcare facilities housing at-risk patients.
3) Which handing do I order for a TownSteel MRX-A-22, and is the lock field reversible?
Handing has to be specified on the order: left hand, left hand reverse, right hand, or right hand reverse. Stand outside the door, note which side the hinges are on and which way the door swings, then pick accordingly. Reverse handings are for doors that swing out toward you. All four handings come in 630 satin stainless steel with the standard cylinder.
4) Can I use the MRX-A-22 with an existing ASA strike prep in my frame?
Yes, if the frame is prepped for a standard ASA strike. The MRX-A-22 uses a 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inch ASA strike, the common commercial mortise strike size, so a frame already cut for that prep takes the lock without new frame work. The face plate on the door edge is 1-1/4 x 8 inches in stainless steel.
5) What other Grade 1 privacy mortise locksets work on a 1-3/4 inch door if ligature-resistant arch trim is not required?
The TownSteel MRX-A-22 is a Grade 1 privacy/bed/bath mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors with a 5-point ligature-resistant stainless steel arch trim, and it is the choice where patient-safety trim matters. On a standard 1-3/4 inch opening where conventional lever or knob trim is acceptable, the Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 privacy/bed/bath mortise lockset with a deadbolt, and the Hager 3840S is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch thick.
6) I need a privacy mortise lock that includes a deadbolt - what should I order instead?
The TownSteel MRX-A-22 is the privacy/bathroom function without a deadbolt. If the opening calls for a privacy function that also throws a deadbolt, the Cal-Royal NM8440 is a heavy duty Grade 1 privacy mortise lockset with a deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors. For a separate deadbolt, the Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset.
7) What is the closest ligature-resistant alternative to the TownSteel MRX-A-22 for a behavioral health door?
The MRX-A-22 uses a 5-point ligature-resistant stainless steel arch trim with tamper-resistant mounting screws and mounts on wood or metal doors. Where a push/pull operation is preferred over arch trim, the Marks USA 5PDN is a Grade 1 hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset described as ligature resistant and ADA compliant in satin stainless steel. Note the 5PDN is a passage paddleset, so it does not provide the privacy locking the MRX-A-22 gives a patient bathroom.
8) Is a cylinder included with the MRX-A-22 or do I buy one separately?
A cylinder is included. TownSteel states the MRX-A ships with cylinder, so there is nothing else to source to complete the lock. Note the -22 is catalogued as a non-keyed function, so the cylinder is there for the trim configuration rather than to key the opening into a master system.
9) Is the TownSteel MRX-A-22 heavy duty enough for a hospital corridor or patient room in constant use?
It is an ANSI Grade 1 mortise lock rated heavy duty, which is the top commercial durability tier and the right pick for high-traffic institutional openings. Grade 1 mortise bodies in a stainless face plate are what most healthcare and correctional specs call for.
10) What is a ligature resistant arch trim, and how is it different from a push/pull paddle lock?
Arch trim is a fixed, sloped stainless shroud with no gap or projection that a cord can be looped over, operated by pushing rather than gripping a lever. It is one of two common approaches in at-risk rooms. The other is a sloped push/pull paddle, for example the Marks USA 5PDN Grade 1 hospital passage mortise paddleset. The paddleset is a passage function, so if you need privacy on a patient bathroom, the MRX-A-22 privacy function is the one that locks.
11) Can I use a passage mortise lock in place of the MRX-A-22 on a patient room door?
Only if the door does not need to lock. The TownSteel MRX-A-22 is a non-keyed privacy/bed/bath mortise lockset, so the occupant can secure the door from inside. A Schlage PM010 Grade 1 passage latch mortise lock or a Falcon MA101 Grade 1 heavy-duty mortise passage lock with field reversible operation is latch-only with no locking function, which suits corridors and closets rather than bathrooms.
12) What should I order if the same opening needs a keyed function instead of privacy?
The TownSteel MRX-A-22 is non-keyed privacy. For keyed control on a 1-3/4 inch door, the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset with an interchangeable core option, the Cal-Royal NM8070 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset, and the Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 mortise classroom lockset in the ML2000 Series. The Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock with the Arcadia lever.
13) Does a Schlage L0170 dummy trim substitute for the MRX-A-22?
No. The Schlage L0170 is a Grade 1 non-keyed half dummy lever trim with no latch or locking mechanism, used on inactive leaves. The TownSteel MRX-A-22 is a complete Grade 1 mortise lockset with an operating privacy/bed/bath function, 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. Emtek 3019, 3102, 3104 and 3106 mortise entrance locksets are likewise dummy function.
14) My doors are thicker than 1-3/4 inch - what privacy or passage mortise lock covers that range?
The TownSteel MRX-A-22 is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors. For thicker leaves, the Hager 3840S Grade 1 privacy mortise lock covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the Hager 3810E and 3810S Grade 1 passage mortise locks with a 2-3/4 inch backset cover 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/2 inch. The Baldwin 6301 entry/apartment mortise lock body with a 2-1/2 inch backset is listed for 1-3/4 inch and over.
15) Do I need to order handing for the MRX-A-22, and are there non-handed mortise options?
The TownSteel MRX-A-22 is ordered by handing in LH, LHR, RH and RHR. If a field-reversible or non-handed body suits your stocking plan better, the BEST 45H Series heavy duty mortise lock body is field reversible in public entrance function, the Falcon MA101 Grade 1 heavy-duty mortise passage lock is field reversible, and the Kaba Ilco 185 Series mortise lock is supplied with no handing.
16) Is the MRX-A-22 electronic or does it need any wiring?
Purely mechanical. There is no wiring, no power supply and no credential reader on the MRX-A-22. If the opening needs access control instead, Grade 1 electronic mortise options include the Schlage CO-100 standalone keypad mortise lock, which is also a privacy function on a 1-3/4 inch door. Those are not ligature resistant trims, so they do not suit at-risk patient rooms.
17) What finish does the TownSteel MRX-A-22 come in, and will it match other stainless hardware in the building?
630 satin stainless steel is the finish, across all four handings. That is the standard institutional finish, so it matches satin stainless pulls, hinges, push plates and most Grade 1 healthcare hardware already on adjacent openings.
