TownSteel MRX-S-L-35-630 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the TownSteel MRX-L-35 mortise lock fit a 1-3/4 inch door?
Yes, 1-3/4 inches is the door thickness the MRX-L-35 is built for, and it is the only thickness listed. It mounts on either wood or metal doors. If your openings are thicker or thinner, this is not the lock body to order.
2) What strike and face plate prep does the MRX-L-35 mortise lockset need?
It uses a 1-1/4 by 4-7/8 inch ASA strike, and the face plate (armor front) measures 1-1/4 by 8 inches in stainless steel. That is standard ANSI mortise prep, so a frame already cut for an ASA strike normally takes it without rework.
3) Is this the right lock for a behavioral health or psychiatric patient room door?
That is exactly what the MRX-L is for. The lever trim is ligature resistant stainless steel and the mounting screws are tamper resistant, which is what behavioral, mental, and psychiatric facilities housing at-risk patients require on patient-accessible doors.
4) How does the storeroom function with deadbolt work on the MRX-L-35?
Storeroom function means the outside lever is always locked and retracts the latch by key only, while the inside lever always retracts the latch for free egress. The 35 adds a deadbolt, and the lock is set up as a double cylinder, so the bolt is thrown and withdrawn by key from either side rather than by a thumbturn.
5) Does the MRX-L-35 come with a cylinder, or can I use my own SFIC core?
Two cylinder builds are sold. The Standard version ships with the cylinder included. The SFIC Prep, Less Core version is prepped for a small format interchangeable core that you supply, which is the one to order if you are keying into an existing SFIC system. Note that as a double cylinder deadbolt function it takes cylinders on both sides.
6) What is a standard-trim Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock to use instead of the TownSteel MRX-L-35 on doors that do not need ligature resistance?
The Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset with an interchangeable core option, rated for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Accentra 8805FL is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lock with the Arcadia lever. Both cover the same storeroom function as the MRX-L-35, which is a Grade 1 mortise lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors, but they use conventional lever trim rather than the MRX-L's ligature-resistant stainless steel lever and tamper-resistant mounting screws. Use the Cal-Royal or Accentra on back-of-house and service doors; keep the MRX-L-35 where patient-safety trim is required.
7) Is there another ligature-resistant option if a behavioral health door needs push/pull instead of a lever?
Yes. 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 is a passage device, so it does not lock; the TownSteel MRX-L-35 is a keyed storeroom function with a deadbolt and a double cylinder arrangement. Specify the 5PDN on corridor and toilet doors that must always swing free, and the MRX-L-35 where the opening has to be secured by key.
8) Should I order the escutcheon or the sectional trim on the MRX-L mortise lock?
Both are offered. Escutcheon (E) is one continuous plate covering the cylinder and lever, which gives fewer exposed edges and is the usual pick in patient areas; sectional (S) uses separate roses and is the lighter-looking option where it needs to match existing sectional trim on neighboring doors. Function and lock body are the same either way.
9) Can I get several of these mortise locks keyed alike for a wing of rooms?
Yes. Keying is a required selection: key different (KD) is standard, key alike (KA) keys multiple locks to one key, and you can submit a specific key code for a special keying order. If you choose key code, enter the code in the key code field with the order.
10) Is the MRX-L-35 heavy duty enough for a high-traffic institutional corridor?
It is an ANSI Grade 1 heavy duty mortise lock intended for commercial use, which is the top grade for cycle life and strength on this type of lock. That is the same grade class as commercial storeroom mortise locks like the Cal-Royal NM8080 and the Accentra 8805FL.
11) We need classroom function rather than storeroom on the same mortise prep. What replaces the MRX-L-35?
For classroom function in a Grade 1 mortise lockset on a 1-3/4 inch door, the Corbin Russwin ML2003 and the Cal-Royal NM8070 both apply; the Marks USA LA318GJ is a Grade 1 classroom security indicator mortise lockset with an ANSI strike and steel escutcheon for 1-3/4 inch doors. The MRX-L-35 is storeroom function with a deadbolt and ligature-resistant lever trim, so it is not a drop-in where teachers need to lock from inside the room.
12) Can an electronic mortise lock be used in place of the TownSteel MRX-L-35 on a behavioral health unit?
Electronic mortise locks such as the Schlage CO-100 standalone keypad lock, the Alarm Lock DL3500CR Trilogy, or the BEST 45HZ EZ Series keypad lock with key override all mortise into a door, but none of them carry ligature-resistant trim. The MRX-L-35 is a non-electronic mechanical lockset with a ligature-resistant stainless steel lever and tamper-resistant mounting screws. On patient-occupied doors, credential-based hardware with standard levers is generally specified only outside the patient area.
13) Would a mortise deadbolt like the Sargent 4874 do the same job as the MRX-L-35?
No. The Sargent 4874 is a double cylinder mortise deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset and no lever trim or latch, so it secures the door but does not operate it. The TownSteel MRX-L-35 is a complete storeroom lockset with a deadbolt, a ligature-resistant stainless steel lever, and a 1-1/4 inch by 8 inch stainless face plate. A deadbolt-only body would need separate trim and a latch to serve the same opening.
14) What is the difference between the TownSteel MRX-L-35 and the Sargent 7925 for a dormitory corridor door?
The Sargent 7925 is a Grade 1 heavy duty corridor/dormitory exit function mortise lock with rose trim and a single cylinder deadbolt. The TownSteel MRX-L-35 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom lock with a deadbolt in a double cylinder arrangement, offered with escutcheon or sectional ligature-resistant lever trim in 630 satin stainless. The 7925 allows the deadbolt to be thrown from inside the room; the MRX-L-35 is keyed on both sides, which is why it suits at-risk patient housing.
15) For a bathroom or bedroom door in the same facility, what mortise lock pairs with the MRX-L-35?
The Cal-Royal NM8440 is a Grade 1 privacy mortise lockset with a 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. Both match the MRX-L-35's 1-3/4 inch door thickness on the Cal-Royal side and give an occupancy-privacy function rather than the MRX-L-35's keyed storeroom operation. Note that neither carries the MRX-L-35's ligature-resistant lever, so confirm the trim requirement for patient-accessible restrooms.
16) We already standardize on BEST cores. Does anything in the comparable range match the MRX-L-35's SFIC option?
The MRX-L-35 is offered with an SFIC prep less core as well as a standard cylinder, in 630 satin stainless with escutcheon or sectional trim. Among peers, the Cal-Royal NM8080 is a Grade 1 storeroom mortise lockset with an interchangeable core option for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the BEST 45H Series is a heavy duty mortise lock body in public entrance function. The NM8080 is the closer functional match since it is storeroom like the MRX-L-35.
17) What finish does the anti-ligature TownSteel mortise lockset come in?
630 satin stainless steel, on all builds. Stainless is what carries the ligature-resistant lever, and satin stainless is the standard institutional finish, so it lines up with most existing hospital and behavioral health hardware.
18) Is the MRX-L-35 an electronic or access-control lock?
No, it is purely mechanical and key operated. If the opening needs credential or keypad access in a mortise prep, that is a different family of product, such as the Schlage CO-100 standalone electronic mortise lock or the Dormakaba E-Plex 2066 pushbutton mortise lock.
19) Is the Schlage L0170 or a dummy trim an acceptable substitute on doors next to an MRX-L-35 install?
Only for openings that need no latching. The Schlage L0170 is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed half dummy mortise lever trim for 1-3/4 inch doors with no lock mechanism behind it. The TownSteel MRX-L-35 is a keyed storeroom mortise lockset with a deadbolt and an ASA strike measuring 1-1/4 inch by 4-7/8 inch. Use the L0170 only on inactive leaves; it will not secure a door.
20) What should I use for an office or entrance door instead of the MRX-L-35 storeroom function?
The Cal-Royal NM8050 is a Grade 1 heavy duty office/entrance mortise lockset with an auxiliary deadlatch for 1-3/4 inch doors, matching the MRX-L-35's Grade 1 rating and 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The Hager 3850E is a Grade 1 office mortise lock with lever and escutcheon on a 2-3/4 inch backset. Office function lets staff leave the lever unlocked during business hours; the MRX-L-35 storeroom keeps the outside lever locked at all times.
