TownSteel TRX-L-86 Storeroom Function - Satin Stainless Steel Heavy Duty Ligature Resistant Lever Cylindrical Lockset

The TRX-L uses a stainless steel lever shaped so a cord, sheet, or clothing cannot be looped and held on it, and it fastens with tamper-resistant mounting screws so a patient cannot take the trim apart. TownSteel builds it for behavioral, mental health, and psychiatric facilities housing patients at risk. On a standard corridor or storeroom door where nobody is at risk of self-harm, an ordinary Grade 1 storeroom lever does the same security job for less complexity.

Storeroom function means the outside lever is always locked. Entry from outside is by key only, and the inside lever always retracts the latch for free egress. There is no button or thumbturn to leave it unlocked, which is exactly why it suits patient rooms, med rooms, and supply closets in a behavioral setting: staff cannot accidentally leave it in an unlocked state. It is a single cylinder lock, so the key operates from the outside only.

Two backsets are offered on the TRX-L: the standard 2-3/4 inch and a 5 inch. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore hole in your existing prep. 2-3/4 inch is the usual commercial cylindrical backset and is what most hollow metal frames are prepped for. The 5 inch is for wide stile or narrow glass door applications where the lock body has to sit further in from the edge. Both are available with every cylinder prep offered.

Yes, through the cylinder prep you choose at order. The TRX-L comes prepped four ways: standard cylinder, Corbin 6-pin LFIC, SFIC (small format interchangeable core, the Best-style figure-eight core), and Schlage FSIC. Order the prep that matches the cores your facility already runs and your locksmith drops your own core in, so the lock joins your existing master key system without rekeying anything else.

No. Asylum function describes how the lock operates - the Dexter C1000 asylum lock is a Grade 1 F87 asylum cylindrical lock for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is an asylum function cylindrical lock with a ball knob and a conventional cylinder in Schlage C keyway. Ligature resistance describes the shape of the trim itself. The TRX-L-86 is a storeroom function lock whose stainless steel lever is ligature-resistant and whose mounting screws are tamper-resistant. A facility that needs key retraction from both sides wants an asylum function; a facility that needs trim a patient cannot tie off on wants the ligature-resistant lever. The Arrow MK33 in particular is a knob, not a lever.

There is no other Grade 1 storeroom-function cylindrical lever in the comparable range. The TRX-L-86 is a Grade 1 storeroom cylindrical leverset with a ligature-resistant stainless steel lever and tamper-resistant mounting screws, built for behavioral, mental and psychiatric healthcare openings. If the opening is an ordinary storeroom door with no ligature concern, the Hager 2580 with the Withnell lever is a storeroom-function cylindrical lock at Grade 2 for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches thick, and the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom leverset with a deadlocking latchbolt for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches. Both use a conventional lever shape rather than a ligature-resistant one.

They are not the same specification. The TRX-L-86 is Grade 1 and heavy duty, fits 1-3/4 inch doors, and carries a ligature-resistant stainless steel lever with tamper-resistant mounting screws. The Hager 2580 storeroom lock with the Withnell lever is Grade 2 and fits 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors; the Cal-Royal AG05 storeroom lockset is Grade 2 with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. If the drawing calls out ANSI Grade 1 or the opening is patient-accessible, the Grade 2 storeroom levers do not answer that callout. On a back-of-house storeroom with no ligature requirement, either Grade 2 lock performs the same storeroom function.

Yes. Keying is specified on the order: KD (key different, the standard, every lock its own key), KA (key alike, so one key runs the whole group), or a specific key code if you are matching an existing system. Pick KA when you want one staff key opening every med room on a wing. If you are matching a system already in the building, give the key code and choose the cylinder prep that matches your cores.

Grade 1, heavy duty, and rated commercial. Grade 1 is the top ANSI/BHMA cylindrical grade and is what specifiers call for on high traffic institutional openings. It is a sectional cylindrical lock rather than a mortise, so it installs in a standard bored prep while still carrying the Grade 1 rating.

The faceplate is 1-1/8 inches, which is the standard commercial latch face width, so it lands in the same mortise most existing cylindrical locks were cut for. Combine that with the 2-3/4 inch backset option and a 1-3/4 inch door and it goes into a conventional 161 bored prep. Check that your current latch face measures 1-1/8 inches and your bore centers at 2-3/4 inches from the edge before you pull the old lock.

Both are Grade 1 cylindrical levers, but the TRX-L carries a ligature-resistant lever and tamper-resistant screws for at-risk patient areas. The Corbin Russwin CL3100 Series is a Grade 1 vandal resistant cylindrical lever for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, built for abuse rather than for anti-ligature. If the room is a behavioral or psychiatric space, the ligature resistance is the reason to buy the TRX-L; if it is a back-of-house storeroom in the same building, a conventional Grade 1 lever covers it.

For an ordinary commercial storeroom opening, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. Both give the same key-outside, free-egress-inside behavior as the TRX-L. Step up to the TRX-L when the opening is in a patient area that needs ligature resistance, or when the spec calls for Grade 1.

The TRX-L-86 is a storeroom function lock, so it stays locked outside and needs a key every time. For rooms that have to unlock for occupancy, the Dexter C1000 series covers the adjacent functions at the same Grade 1 level: the C1000 classroom lever is a keyed clutching classroom lock for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, the C1000 classroom security lever adds classroom security function at the same thickness range, and the C1000 entry/office lever handles offices. All three are conventional levers rather than ligature-resistant trim, so keep them on staff-side doors and hold the TRX-L-86 for patient-accessible openings.

The TRX-L-86 is a single cylinder storeroom lock, so it always takes a key from the outside. For a corridor or closet door that just needs a latch, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet cylindrical lever with a fire rating, for doors 1-3/4 to 2 inches. The Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with non-handed levers and a fire rating, covering 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever with pressure release technology. None of these carry the ligature-resistant lever and tamper-resistant screws of the TRX-L-86.

The TRX-L-86 is a mechanical cylindrical lockset - single cylinder, storeroom function, keyed from the outside with no wiring. The Corbin Russwin CL33903 is a Grade 1 fail safe electrified cylindrical lever running 12VAC/DC, for doors 1-3/4 to 2 inches, which means it unlocks on power loss and has to be tied into an access control system and a power transfer hinge. On a behavioral health storeroom door that is not on access control, the TRX-L-86 does the job with its ligature-resistant stainless steel lever and tamper-resistant mounting screws and no electrical rough-in.

A keypad changes the credential, not the trim. The Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination in passage function for doors 1-1/8 to 2 inches, the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock, and Emtek offers a Classic keypad leverset. All of them put a projecting keypad and a conventional lever on the door face. The TRX-L-86 is a Grade 1 storeroom lock whose stainless steel lever is ligature-resistant and whose mounting screws are tamper-resistant, which is what a behavioral health opening is specified for. Keypad levers suit staff areas outside the patient envelope.

The TRX-L-86 is offered with a standard cylinder, an SFIC prep, a Schlage FSIC prep and a Corbin 6-pin LFIC prep, in both 2-3/4 inch and 5 inch backsets. If a facility is standardized on Yale cylinders, the Accentra 107S is a Schlage cylinder adapter kit for Yale hardware, which goes the other direction - it adapts Yale hardware to accept a Schlage cylinder. For the TRX-L-86 itself, order the prep that matches the core family already in the building and pull the core from the existing system.

The TRX-L-86 door thickness is 1-3/4 inches. Where a job has thicker leaves, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 passage/closet lever covers 1-3/4 to 2 inches, and the Dexter C1000 asylum lock covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches. Of those, only the Dexter C1000 asylum is a keyed institutional function; the other two are passage locks with no key. None carry a ligature-resistant lever, so measure the door before assuming the thicker opening can take the same trim family.

630 satin stainless steel, on every configuration. That is the standard institutional finish and it matches the 626 satin chrome trim you will find on most existing healthcare openings closely enough that it reads consistent down a corridor. If you are standardizing a wing, every backset and cylinder prep combination lands in the same 630.

Handing is not something you specify on the TRX-L. What you do have to specify is the backset (2-3/4 inch standard or 5 inch), the cylinder prep (standard, Corbin 6-pin LFIC, SFIC, or Schlage FSIC), and the keying (KD, KA, or a key code). Get those three right against the existing prep and cores and the lock is ready to hang.

The TRX-L-86 is a keyed storeroom lockset, so it is not the part for an inactive leaf. The BEST 9K series 1DT single dummy trim is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed dummy cylindrical lever, and the BEST 7KC series single dummy trim is the Grade 2 medium duty version of the same idea. The Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy cylindrical lever in the 5400 series. All three are conventional dummy trim without the ligature-resistant lever profile of the TRX-L-86, so on a patient-accessible pair the dummy leaf will not match the active leaf trim.

The TRX-L-86 is a commercial heavy duty Grade 1 lockset. Levers like the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage set and the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy set are Grade 3 for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, and the Cal-Royal AUS00 entrance/office lever is Grade 3 over the same thickness range. Those grades are built for residential and light interior traffic and none of them offer storeroom function. On an institutional storeroom door carrying daily staff traffic, the Grade 1 heavy duty rating is the reason the TRX-L-86 is specified.

They serve different openings. Levers such as the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage and privacy levers with the 5048 rose, the Deltana 6201 Manchester entry lever for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and the Emtek Arts and Crafts dummy pair are ornamental trim for finished residential and hospitality openings. The TRX-L-86 is a Grade 1 heavy duty commercial storeroom lockset with a ligature-resistant stainless steel lever and tamper-resistant mounting screws, mountable on wood or metal doors. A projecting ornamental lever is the shape a ligature-resistant specification is written to exclude.
