TownSteel MRX-S-L-26-630 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the TownSteel MRX-L-26 anti-ligature mortise lock fit a standard 1-3/4 inch commercial door?
Yes, and 1-3/4 inches is the only thickness the MRX-L is built for. It mounts on either wood or metal doors, and the mortise pocket takes a 1-1/4 x 8 inch stainless steel face plate. If your openings are thicker than 1-3/4 inches, this is the wrong lock body.
2) Will the MRX-L-26 work with the ASA strike prep already in my frames?
It ships with a 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inch ASA strike, which is the standard mortise strike cutout in commercial hollow metal frames. If your existing frames are prepped for an ASA strike, the MRX-L drops into that prep without frame work.
3) Do I need to buy a cylinder separately for the MRX-L-26?
Not with the standard cylinder option, that lockset includes a cylinder. If your facility keys to a small format interchangeable core system, order the SFIC prep version instead, which comes prepped but less core, and supply your own core.
4) Is the Cal-Royal NM8440 a substitute for the TownSteel MRX-L-26 on a patient room door?
The Cal-Royal NM8440 is a heavy duty Grade 1 privacy mortise lockset with deadbolt for 1-3/4 inch doors, so it matches the MRX-L-26 on grade, privacy function and the 1-3/4 inch door thickness. What it does not match is the anti-ligature trim: the MRX-L-26 carries a ligature-resistant stainless steel lever and tamper-resistant mounting screws for behavioral, mental and psychiatric facilities. On a standard commercial bath or office door the NM8440 does the same job; on a door serving patients at risk, specify the MRX-L-26.
5) What is another ligature-resistant Grade 1 option for a behavioral health door if the MRX-L-26 lever trim is not wanted?
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. It uses a push/pull paddle rather than a lever, and it is a passage function, so it does not provide the privacy locking the TownSteel MRX-L-26 gives with its ligature-resistant stainless steel lever and cylinder. For patient rooms and toilet rooms where the door has to be secured from inside, the MRX-L-26 is the one that locks; for corridor doors that only need to latch, the paddleset covers the ligature concern without a locking function.
6) What is the difference between the E escutcheon and S sectional trim on the TownSteel MRX-L?
Both carry the same ligature-resistant stainless steel lever and the same Grade 1 mortise body. The E option gives you a full escutcheon plate covering the mortise area, ordered as MRX-E-L; the S option is sectional trim, ordered as MRX-S-L. Pick the escutcheon when you want more of the door face covered or need to hide existing prep, sectional when you are matching a smaller-plate look on the rest of the openings.
7) Can I order a group of these TownSteel mortise locks keyed alike?
Yes. Keying is a required selection: keyed different is standard, keyed alike is available for running multiple locks on one key, and you can submit a specific key code for a facility master system. Non-keyed functions take the N/A keying option.
8) Is this an electronic or access control mortise lock?
No, the MRX-L is purely mechanical, key and lever operated, with a single cylinder function. If you need credential or keypad access on a mortise prep, look at an electronic mortise lock such as the BEST 45HZ EZ Series keypad mortise lock with key override, or the Schlage CO-100 standalone electronic mortise lock. Neither of those is ligature resistant, though.
9) If I do not need anti-ligature trim, what is a comparable Grade 1 mortise lock for 1-3/4 inch doors?
For standard corridors and offices on the same 1-3/4 inch door thickness, the Cal-Royal NM8050 is a Grade 1 office/entrance mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch, the NM8070 is the classroom version, and the NM8080 is storeroom with an interchangeable core option. The Corbin Russwin ML2003 is another Grade 1 classroom mortise at that thickness. Reserve the MRX-L for patient-facing openings where ligature resistance is the requirement.
10) What mortise lock should I use instead of the MRX-L-26 for a classroom door in the same building?
For classroom function in a mortise prep, the Corbin Russwin ML2003 is a Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal NM8070 is a heavy duty Grade 1 classroom mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch, also 1-3/4 inch. Both share the 1-3/4 inch door thickness the TownSteel MRX-L-26 is built for, so the door prep carries over. Neither carries the ligature-resistant lever trim, which is specific to the MRX-L.
11) I need a keyed storeroom mortise lock rather than the privacy function of the MRX-L-26 - what matches?
The Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock in the 8800 Series with the Arcadia lever, and the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a heavy duty Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset with an interchangeable core option for 1-3/4 inch doors. The interchangeable core option on the NM8080 lines up with the way the MRX-L-26 can be ordered SFIC prep less core if the facility keys to small format cores. Both are keyed storeroom rather than the institutional privacy function.
12) Can I use an electronic mortise privacy lock like the Schlage CO-100 in place of the TownSteel MRX-L-26?
The Schlage CO-100-MS-40-KP is a standalone electronic mortise lock with a keypad reader, privacy function, Grade 1 heavy duty, for 1-3/4 inch doors - the same grade, duty level and door thickness as the MRX-L-26. The difference is operation: the CO-100 is credential and keypad driven, while the MRX-L-26 is a mechanical lockset with no electronics and a ligature-resistant stainless steel lever. Where a ligature-resistant opening is the requirement, the keypad escutcheon of an electronic lock is a different trim profile entirely.
13) For a dormitory or corridor door where the MRX-L-26 privacy function is not appropriate, what mortise lock works?
The Sargent 7925 is a Grade 1 heavy duty mortise lock with corridor/dormitory function, rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt, in the 7900 Series. It matches the MRX-L-26 on Grade 1 and heavy duty construction, but it uses rose trim rather than the escutcheon or sectional ligature-resistant trim the MRX-L is built with, and its function is corridor/dormitory rather than institutional privacy.
14) Does the Hager 3840S privacy mortise lock cover the same opening as the TownSteel MRX-L-26?
The Hager 3840S is a 3800 Series Grade 1 privacy mortise lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset, rated for doors from 1-3/4 to 2 inches thick. The TownSteel MRX-L-26 is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors, so the Hager spans a slightly wider thickness range at the top end. The functional split is the trim: the MRX-L-26 uses a ligature-resistant stainless steel lever with tamper-resistant mounting screws for at-risk patient areas, which the 3840S does not offer.
15) What finish does the MRX-L-26 anti-ligature lockset come in?
630 satin stainless steel, across every trim and cylinder combination. That is the standard institutional finish, so it lines up with stainless push plates, hinges and ligature-resistant pulls already in most behavioral units.
16) Is a Grade 1 rating enough for a high-traffic institutional corridor?
Grade 1 is the top ANSI/BHMA durability tier for commercial locksets, and the MRX-L is classed heavy duty for commercial use. That is the level facility standards normally call for on corridor and patient room doors.
17) Is a passage mortise lock like the Falcon MA101 or Schlage PM010 an acceptable swap for the MRX-L-26?
No, not where the door needs to lock. The Falcon MA101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty fire rated mortise passage lock with field reversible operation, and the Schlage PM010 is a Grade 1 passage latch mortise lock for 1-3/4 inch doors - both are non-keyed latching only. The TownSteel MRX-L-26 is a keyed single cylinder institutional privacy lockset supplied with its cylinder. Use a passage mortise lock only on openings that require no privacy or security at all.
18) What if I only need a dummy trim to match the MRX-L-26 on an inactive leaf?
The Schlage L0170 is a Grade 1 heavy duty half dummy trim mortise lever lock for 1-3/4 inch doors in the L Series, matching the MRX-L-26 door thickness. It has no latch or cylinder and is trim only for an inactive leaf. It will not carry the ligature-resistant stainless steel lever profile the MRX-L-26 uses, so on a behavioral health pair the appearance of the two leaves will differ.
19) For an office or entrance opening in the same facility, what mortise lockset pairs with the MRX-L-26 door prep?
The Cal-Royal NM8050 is a heavy duty Grade 1 office/entrance mortise lockset with auxiliary deadlatch for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3850E is a 3800 Series Grade 1 office mortise lock with lever and escutcheon on a 2-3/4 inch backset for doors 1-3/4 to 2-1/2 inches. Both share the 1-3/4 inch door thickness the TownSteel MRX-L-26 is built for, which keeps staff-side openings on the same door prep while the patient-side doors carry the anti-ligature lever.
