TownSteel TRX-L-87-630 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the asylum function on the TownSteel TRX-L-87 actually do at the door?
The TRX-L-87 is an asylum/institution function lock, which means it is keyed on both sides. The keyed function is double cylinder, so there is no free egress by turning the lever from the inside without a key. That is why it goes on patient rooms and secure utility spaces in behavioral health settings rather than on a corridor egress door. Check your local egress and life safety requirements for the opening before specifying a double cylinder lock.
2) Will the TownSteel TRX-L fit a 1-3/8 inch door?
No. The TRX-L ligature resistant lever lock is built for 1-3/4 inch doors only, and that is a single thickness, not a range. For a thinner leaf you would need a different lock; the Dexter C1000 asylum function lock, for example, covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.
3) Does the TRX-L come in a 5 inch backset for a hospital door with a wide stile?
Yes. Both 2-3/4 inch standard backset and 5 inch backset are offered on the TRX-L-87. The 5 inch version is what you use when the cross bore has to sit farther off the edge, which is common on institutional doors with wide lock stiles or narrow vision lite spacing. The backset is a fixed build option, so measure from the door edge to the center of the existing 2-1/8 inch cross bore before ordering.
4) Can I get the TownSteel TRX-L-87 to work on our existing Schlage or Corbin interchangeable core system?
Yes, the cylinder prep is a build option. The TRX-L-87 can be ordered with a Schlage FSIC prep, a Corbin 6-pin LFIC prep, or a small format interchangeable core (SFIC) prep, and those preps ship without the core so you can drop in your own. There is also a standard conventional cylinder version if you are not on an IC system.
5) What makes the TRX-L lever ligature resistant, and does it help with tampering?
The lever itself is stainless steel and shaped so a cord, sheet, or clothing cannot be looped or anchored on it, which is the whole point in a room housing a patient at risk. Beyond the lever, the lock mounts with tamper resistant screws so it cannot be taken off the door with a common driver. It is a mechanical Grade 1 cylindrical lock, not an anti-ligature trim retrofit.
6) How is the TRX-L-87 different from the Arrow MK33 or Dexter C1000 asylum locks?
All three are asylum function, but they are not interchangeable choices. The TRX-L-87 is Grade 1 with a ligature resistant lever and tamper resistant screws, built specifically for patient at risk rooms. The Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a heavy duty Grade 2 asylum lock with a ball knob and a conventional Schlage C keyway cylinder, so it is a knob trim and a lower grade. The Dexter C1000 asylum (F87) is Grade 1 and covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, giving you more thickness range but without the anti-ligature lever. If the opening is in a behavioral health environment, the anti-ligature lever is the deciding difference.
7) What is the closest Grade 1 asylum function cylindrical lever lock to the TownSteel TRX-L-87?
The Dexter C1000 Series asylum lock (F87) is the nearest equivalent: it is also a Grade 1 cylindrical lock with asylum/institution/utility function, and it covers doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, where the TRX-L-87 is built for 1-3/4 inch doors. The difference that matters for behavioral health work is the trim - the TRX-L-87 uses a ligature-resistant stainless steel lever and tamper-resistant mounting screws, which is what makes it suitable for patient-at-risk areas.
8) Can a residential grade lever be used on a behavioral health patient room instead?
No. Options like the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage and 300BRNL Breton privacy levers are Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Callan Artino entrance leverset is Grade 3. The TownSteel TRX-L-87 is a Grade 1 commercial heavy duty lockset with a ligature-resistant stainless lever and tamper-resistant mounting screws, which is the construction behavioral, mental, and psychiatric facilities call for on at-risk patient areas.
9) I'm keying a whole behavioral health wing the same. Can these be ordered keyed alike?
Yes. Keying is a required selection on the TRX-L-87: keyed different (the standard), keyed alike for multiple locks on one key, or a specific key code if the facility already has a system in place. Choose keyed alike when the same staff key has to open every patient room door in the wing. If you are running an SFIC, Corbin LFIC, or Schlage FSIC prep instead, your locksmith pins the cores and the keying option is handled on your side.
10) Can the TownSteel TRX-L go on a hollow metal door, or is it wood doors only?
Both. The TRX-L mounts on wood or hollow metal doors, which is why it works across a behavioral health building where patient room doors are often solid core wood and corridor and utility doors are hollow metal. Door thickness has to be 1-3/4 inches either way.
11) Is the TRX-L rated for high traffic institutional use?
It is classified heavy duty and carries an ANSI Grade 1 rating, the top cylindrical lock grade for commercial openings and the one usually written into healthcare and institutional specs. It is a commercial lockset, not a residential one.
12) I need passage and privacy doors in the same behavioral health wing. Does the TRX-L-87 cover those?
No. The -87 suffix is the asylum function specifically, keyed both sides. For non-keyed openings in the same building you need a different function. Within the ligature resistant family, look at the other TRX-L functions rather than substituting a standard lever; a conventional Grade 1 passage lock like the Corbin Russwin CL3110 or the Falcon K101 will work mechanically but has no anti-ligature lever, so it does not belong on a patient at risk door.
13) Is there a Grade 2 asylum function lock if Grade 1 is more than the opening needs?
The Arrow MK33-BD-CS is an asylum/institution/utility function cylindrical lock at Grade 2 with a heavy duty rating, supplied with a conventional cylinder in the Schlage C keyway and a ball knob rather than a lever. The TownSteel TRX-L-87 is Grade 1 with a lever handle, so if your facility requires ADA-compliant lever operation or ligature resistance, the knob version will not serve.
14) We need a keyed lock on a patient room but not a double cylinder asylum function - what else is there?
For a classroom-style opening, the Dexter C1000 Series classroom lock is Grade 1 with clutching keyed trim, and the C1000 classroom security version adds inside keyed control of the outside lever; both fit 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The TownSteel TRX-L-87 is a double cylinder asylum function lock, meaning key operation from both sides so neither lever releases the latch without a key - the choice that behavioral health corridors normally specify.
15) What should I use on the non-keyed doors in the same corridor as the TRX-L-87?
For passage openings at the same Grade 1 heavy duty level, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-handed passage cylindrical lock with a fire rating that covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 fire rated vandal resistant passage lever for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. None of those carry the ligature-resistant lever and tamper-resistant mounting screws of the TRX-L-87, so they suit staff and back-of-house doors rather than patient-accessible ones.
16) Will a Hager 2580 storeroom lever work in place of the TownSteel TRX-L-87?
Not for the same purpose. The Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with a Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Both are storeroom function - keyed outside, free egress inside. The TRX-L-87 is Grade 1 asylum function with double cylinder operation, so it controls both sides of the door, and its lever is ligature resistant.
17) I need an interchangeable core lock - does the TRX-L-87 compete with BEST 9K?
The TownSteel TRX-L-87 is ordered with SFIC prep, Schlage FSIC prep, or Corbin 6-Pin LFIC prep, so it drops into an existing interchangeable core system directly. The BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy trim - dummy function, non-keyed - so it is trim for a pull side, not a keyed substitute. The BEST 7KC 1DT is the Grade 2 medium duty dummy equivalent.
18) The TRX-L-87 comes in 5 inch backset - do any of the alternatives offer that?
The TownSteel TRX-L-87 is ordered in either 2-3/4 inch standard backset or 5 inch backset, the 5 inch being what wide-stile and hospital-style door preps often need. The comparable asylum function lock from Dexter, the C1000 F87, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS are catalogued on their grade and function rather than on a 5 inch backset option, so if your prep is 5 inch the TRX-L-87 is the direct fit.
19) Is the TownSteel TRX-L-87 an electrified lock?
No, it is a mechanical cylindrical lockset keyed on both sides. If you need an electrified cylindrical lever on the same type of opening, the Corbin Russwin CL33903 is a Grade 1 fail safe electrified cylindrical lever running 12VAC/DC for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. The TRX-L-87 requires no power and mounts on either a wood or metal door.
