TownSteel MRX-S-L-01-630 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the MRX-L-01 lock the door, or is it just a passage latch?
It is passage function, so the lever always retracts the latch from both sides and there is nothing to lock. Use it on hall, closet, and corridor doors where you want controlled operation without securing the opening. If you need the door to secure, pick a keyed function from the MRX-L family instead.
2) What does anti-ligature mean on this TownSteel lever, and where is it used?
The lever is ligature-resistant stainless steel, shaped so cord or fabric will not hold on it, and the lock ships with tamper-resistant mounting screws so a patient cannot pull the trim apart. TownSteel builds the MRX-L for behavioral, mental, and psychiatric healthcare facilities housing patients at risk. That is also why it is a passage function here: nothing on the door for a resident to work against.
3) Will the MRX-L-01 drop into an existing ANSI mortise pocket and strike?
The lock uses a 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inch ASA strike and a 1-1/4 x 8 inch stainless steel face plate, both standard ANSI mortise prep. If the door already carries a Grade 1 mortise lock with an ASA strike in a 1-3/4 inch leaf, the pocket and frame cutout line up. Verify your existing face plate dimension matches the 1-1/4 x 8 inch before ordering.
4) Is there a heavy duty passage mortise lock like this from another brand?
Yes, a few. The Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy-duty mortise passage lock with field reversible operation, and Falcon lists it as fire rated. Schlage's PM010 is a Grade 1 non-keyed passage mortise latch for 1-3/4 inch doors. Hager's 3810E (escutcheon) and 3810S (rose) are Grade 1 passage mortise locks with a 2-3/4 inch backset covering 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inch doors. None of those are described as ligature-resistant, though, so if the opening is in a behavioral health unit the MRX-L is the one doing that job.
5) What other ligature-resistant option is there if a lever is not wanted on a behavioral health door?
The Marks USA 5PDN is a Grade 1 hospital passage mortise push/pull paddleset that is ligature resistant and ADA compliant in satin stainless steel. It handles the same passage duty as the TownSteel MRX-L-01, which is a Grade 1 non-keyed mortise lockset with a ligature-resistant stainless steel lever offered in 630 satin stainless. The choice is operating trim: a paddle on the Marks, a ligature-resistant lever on the TownSteel.
6) What is a straight Grade 1 mortise passage equivalent to the TownSteel MRX-L-01 for a door that does not need ligature resistance?
The Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise lock in the same passage/hall/closet function, with field reversible operation and a fire rating. The Schlage PM010 is also a Grade 1 non-keyed mortise passage latch for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both cover the same latching duty as the MRX-L-01, which is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors; the difference is that the TownSteel carries the ligature-resistant stainless steel lever and tamper-resistant mounting screws for behavioral health openings, so on a standard corridor or closet door the Falcon or Schlage covers the function without the anti-ligature trim.
7) If the opening needs to lock, what mortise lock should be used instead of the MRX-L-01?
The MRX-L-01 is non-keyed passage only, so the latch retracts from either lever at all times. For a keyed opening on 1-3/4 inch doors, the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset with an interchangeable core option and the NM8070 is the Grade 1 classroom version; the Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock in the 8800 Series. For a bed/bath door needing privacy, the Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lockset with deadbolt.
8) Escutcheon or sectional trim on the MRX-L, which should I order?
Both are offered in 630 satin stainless steel. Escutcheon (the E option) is a single full plate covering the lock case area, which hides existing prep and gives a resident less edge to work at. Sectional (the S option) is a smaller rose behind the lever, a lighter look and less material on the face of the door. Function and lock case are the same either way; it is a trim decision, so match whatever is already running on the rest of your openings.
9) Do I need to buy a cylinder separately for the MRX-L-01?
No separate cylinder purchase. TownSteel ships the MRX-L lock with a cylinder included. Keep in mind the -01 is non-keyed passage function, so the lever is not controlled by that cylinder in this configuration.
10) Is this lock rated for high traffic corridors in a hospital?
It is an ANSI Grade 1 heavy duty mortise lockset, the top grade, built for commercial use. Grade 1 is what institutional specs call for on high-cycle openings, and the lock case is a mortise design rather than cylindrical, which is the heavier construction of the two.
11) Is the Schlage L0170 dummy trim a substitute for the MRX-L-01 passage lockset?
No. The Schlage L0170 is a Grade 1 non-keyed half dummy trim in the L Series for 1-3/4 inch doors, meaning a fixed lever with no latch mechanism behind it. The TownSteel MRX-L-01 is a working Grade 1 mortise lockset with a latch, an ASA strike at 1-1/4 by 4-7/8 inches and a 1-1/4 by 8 inch stainless face plate. Use the dummy only on an inactive leaf that does not latch.
12) Can I use a cylindrical passage lock instead of the TownSteel MRX-L-01?
Only if the door is prepped for it. The Schlage PC10 is a Grade 1 non-keyed passage cylindrical lock with rose trim for 1-3/4 inch doors and uses a bored cylindrical prep. The MRX-L-01 is a mortise lockset requiring a mortise pocket with a 1-1/4 by 8 inch face plate and a 1-1/4 by 4-7/8 inch ASA strike. The two preps are not interchangeable without new door machining, and the cylindrical unit does not carry the ligature-resistant lever the TownSteel does.
13) How does the Hager 3810E passage mortise lock compare to the TownSteel MRX-L-01 escutcheon version?
The Hager 3810E is a 3800 Series Grade 1 passage mortise lock with escutcheon trim and a 2-3/4 inch backset, rated for doors 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inches thick; the 3810S is the same function with rose trim. The TownSteel MRX-L-01 is also offered with escutcheon trim as well as a sectional option, is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors, and uses a ligature-resistant stainless steel lever with tamper-resistant mounting screws for at-risk patient areas.
14) Will a mortise lock body alone work in place of the TownSteel MRX-L-01?
A body-only item such as the BEST 45H Series heavy duty mortise lock body in public entrance function, or the 45HCA intruder function body, ships as a lock case without lever trim, so trim and roses are ordered separately. The TownSteel MRX-L-01 is supplied as a complete lockset with the ligature-resistant stainless steel lever trim in either escutcheon or sectional form and a cylinder included.
15) What mortise lockset should be specified for a classroom instead of the MRX-L-01?
The Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 mortise classroom lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors in the ML2000 Series, and the Cal-Royal NM8070 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch, also for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both match the 1-3/4 inch door thickness the TownSteel MRX-L-01 is specified for, but add keyed classroom control where the MRX-L-01 is non-keyed passage.
16) What finish does the TownSteel MRX-L-01 come in?
630 satin stainless steel, on both the escutcheon and the sectional trim versions. That is the standard institutional finish, so it will sit alongside stainless push plates, hinges, and grab bars already in a behavioral health corridor without a mismatch.
17) Is the MRX-L-01 an electronic or access control lock?
Purely mechanical. There is no keypad, card reader, or wiring on the MRX-L-01, and no power is required at the opening. If the facility wants credentialed access on that door, that is a different product line entirely, for example an electrified mortise lock like the Schlage CO-100 keypad mortise lock or the BEST 45HW wired electromechanical mortise lock.
18) Is there an electronic mortise lock alternative to the TownSteel MRX-L-01?
The MRX-L-01 is a purely mechanical, non-electronic mortise lockset. If the opening needs credential control, the Schlage CO-100 is a Grade 1 heavy duty standalone electronic mortise lock with a keypad reader for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dormakaba E-Plex E5086 is a Grade 1 electronic pushbutton and card mortise lock. Neither is described as ligature resistant, so they suit administrative or staff doors rather than at-risk patient rooms.
19) For a dormitory or corridor door next to a ligature-resistant passage opening, what mortise lock matches?
The Sargent 7925 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise lock in the 7900 Series with dormitory exit function, rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt. It gives the corridor door a keyed and deadbolted function that the TownSteel MRX-L-01 does not, since the MRX-L-01 is a non-keyed passage lockset. Both are Grade 1 heavy duty mortise bodies.
