TownSteel TRX-L Grade 1 Communicating Function Cylindrical Lockset with Ligature-Resistant Lever

The TownSteel TRX-L is an ANSI Grade 1 sectional cylindrical lockset engineered with a ligature-resistant stainless steel lever, purpose-built for behavioral, mental, and psychiatric healthcare facilities housing at-risk patients. This Double Cylinder Communicating function lock features tamper-resistant mounting screws and is compatible with door thickness ranges of 1-3/4" on both wood and metal doors, with a 1-1/8" face plate for secure, heavy-duty installation. As part of TownSteel's Bored Lockset line of Cylindrical Locks, the TRX-L delivers commercial-grade durability for demanding, high-risk environments.

TownSteel TRX-L-80-630 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the communicating function on the TownSteel TRX-L-80 actually do?
The TRX-L-80 is a double cylinder lock, meaning there's a key cylinder on both sides of the door and no free egress from either side unless it's unlocked by key. That's why it's called communicating: it controls passage between two spaces, typically two adjoining patient rooms or a room and an adjacent treatment area. Because both sides are keyed, it should not go on a required means of egress door.
2) Will the TRX-L lever lock fit a 1-3/4 inch door, and does it work on wood as well as hollow metal?
1-3/4 inches is the door thickness the TRX-L is built for, which is the standard commercial door. It mounts on either wood or metal doors, so the same part covers hollow metal frames in a hospital corridor and solid wood patient room doors. On a 1-3/8 inch older interior door it is not the right lock.
3) Can I get the TRX-L-80 prepped for our small format interchangeable core cylinders?
Yes. Cylinder choice is an order option: standard cylinder, or SFIC prep if you key the facility with small format interchangeable cores. SFIC prep is available with either the 2-3/4 inch or the 5 inch backset. Note SFIC prep housings ship without the core, so cores come from your keying supplier.
4) What makes this lever ligature resistant, and is it strong enough for a behavioral health unit?
The lever is stainless steel and shaped so a cord or strap cannot be looped and hold, and the mounting screws are tamper resistant so a patient cannot take the trim off the door. It is an ANSI Grade 1, heavy duty cylindrical lock, which is the highest of the three ANSI grades and the usual specification for behavioral, mental, and psychiatric facilities housing at-risk patients.
5) Is the Arrow MK33-BD-CS asylum lock a substitute for the TownSteel TRX-L-80?
They serve related openings but are not equivalent. The Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a heavy duty Grade 2 asylum/institution cylindrical lock with a ball knob and a conventional cylinder in Schlage C keyway. The TownSteel TRX-L-80 is Grade 1, heavy duty, and uses a ligature-resistant stainless steel lever with tamper-resistant mounting screws, which is the reason it is specified for behavioral and psychiatric facilities. If the spec calls for a lever rather than a knob, or for Grade 1, the Arrow is not a drop-in.
6) What keying options do I have to specify when ordering the TRX-L lever lock?
Keying is a required selection. Choose KD (key different) for locks keyed individually, KA (key alike) when a group of locks should run on one key, or supply a specific key code for special keying, entered in the key code field. Since this is a double cylinder communicating lock, the non-keyed option does not apply.
7) Is a ligature resistant lever like the TRX-L the same thing as an asylum function lock?
They solve different problems. Asylum or institution function locks, like the Arrow MK33-BD-CS or the Dexter C1000 asylum (F87), are about key control on both sides. The TRX-L-80 is a communicating double cylinder lock that also carries a ligature-resistant stainless lever and tamper-resistant screws, so it addresses patient self-harm risk on the trim itself. If you need the keyed-both-sides behavior but not ligature resistance, the Arrow or Dexter asylum locks cover it; if the door is in a behavioral health room, the ligature-resistant lever is the point.
8) I need a Grade 1 cylindrical lever for a door that isn't a patient room. What else could I use instead of the TRX-L?
For non-patient openings where a ligature-resistant lever isn't needed, Grade 1 cylindrical lever options include the Corbin Russwin CL3110 vandal resistant passage lock (1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, fire rated), the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock (1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors, fire rated), and the Dexter C1000 classroom or classroom security functions for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Reserve the TRX-L for the rooms where ligature resistance is specified.
9) Is the TRX-L a mortise lock or does it go in a standard cylindrical bore?
Cylindrical, not mortise. It's a sectional bored lockset, so it installs in the standard round cross bore and edge bore rather than a routed mortise pocket, which makes it far quicker to retrofit into an existing prepped door. TownSteel publishes an installation guide and a drilling template for the TRX-L if you're boring new doors.
10) Is there a Grade 2 alternative to the TownSteel TRX-L-80 for lower-traffic keyed doors?
For keyed doors that do not carry a Grade 1 requirement, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with a Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Neither is a communicating function and neither carries the ligature-resistant lever of the TownSteel TRX-L-80, so they are not appropriate where patient safety drives the specification.
11) Which lever locks work with small format interchangeable cores like the TownSteel TRX-L-80 SFIC prep option?
The TownSteel TRX-L-80 is offered in an SFIC prep configuration alongside the standard cylinder, in 2-3/4 inch and 5 inch backsets. Within the same key system approach, BEST 9K Series trim is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical lever line, and the BEST 7KC Series is the Grade 2 medium duty counterpart. Confirm the core and keyway your facility standardizes on before ordering either.
12) What finish does the TRX-L-80 come in?
One finish across all configurations: 630 satin stainless steel. That matches the stainless lever and keeps it consistent with the stainless push plates, pulls, and hinges typically used in healthcare corridors, so it standardizes cleanly across a floor of doors.
13) Can a residential-grade lever like the Kwikset 200BRNL replace the TownSteel TRX-L-80?
No. The Kwikset 200BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 passage leverset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, intended for interior hall and closet use. The TownSteel TRX-L-80 is a Grade 1 commercial heavy duty cylindrical lockset with a double cylinder keyed communicating function. They are different grades and different functions, so the Kwikset does not serve a keyed institutional opening.
14) What should I pair with the TownSteel TRX-L-80 on the inactive leaf or a pull-only door?
For an inactive leaf or a door needing trim only, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed cylindrical lever, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy cylindrical lever in the 5400 Series. Both match the Grade 1 heavy duty level of the TownSteel TRX-L-80 without any latching or keying.
15) Is a keypad leverset an alternative to the TownSteel TRX-L-80?
Only where credential-based access is wanted instead of a key on both sides. The Delaney LP250 electronic keypad leverlock is a Grade 2 unit, and the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with passage function for doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch. The TownSteel TRX-L-80 is a Grade 1 mechanical cylindrical lockset with a double cylinder communicating function and a ligature-resistant lever, so keypad units would not meet a ligature-resistance requirement.
