Borg BL2002SC Mechanical Digital Lock – Knob Keypad – 28mm Mortice Latch – Satin Chrome
The Borg BL2002SC is a fully mechanical digital lock for narrow stile doors, using a 28mm backset mortice latch with a compact 96×26mm faceplate. It is the no-holdback version of the BL2202SC — the inside paddle handle operates freely at all times without a holdback mechanism. The correct choice where a compact 28mm latch is needed but the holdback function is not required.
Satin chrome finish. Traditional Borg tumbler code system (lock removal required to change code). Over 8,000 combinations. Single-sided — the inside handle is always free for immediate egress. Suits doors from 35mm to 54mm thick. No batteries.
Usually same day if ordered before 11am AEST (excluding weekends and Qld public holidays)
The BL2002SC uses a 28mm backset mortice latch with a 96×26mm faceplate — designed for aluminium-framed doors, narrow stile timber doors, and any application where a standard 60mm backset latch is too deep for the door stile. If your stile is wide enough for a 60mm latch, consider the BL2200SC (tumbler, holdback, 60mm) or BL2501SSECP (ECP, satin stainless, 60mm).
The inside paddle handle is always free to operate. No code is required to open the door from inside.
The BL2002SC has a simple paddle handle inside with no holdback mechanism. The latch returns to the latched position automatically when the door closes. If a holdback function is required, see the BL2202SC (same 28mm latch, with holdback).
This model uses a tumbler-based code system. To change the PIN, the lock must be removed from the door. Remove the 4 red screws, carefully lift the cover plate (springs attached), hold the C tumbler depressed, then use the supplied tweezers to reposition the red (coded) and blue (uncoded) tumblers. Over 8,000 combinations; code length adjustable 3–7 digits.
Entirely mechanical. No power source, no wiring, and no battery maintenance at any point.
For heavy duty: consider the Borg BL7701, Lockwood DX, or Carbine CDL7000.
Accepts one active PIN code at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between BL2002SC and BL2202SC?
Both use the same 28mm backset mortice latch for narrow stile doors and are otherwise identical in mechanism and finish. The key difference: the BL2202SC has a holdback facility on the inside paddle; the BL2002SC does not. Choose BL2002SC where holdback is not needed and a simpler inside paddle is preferred; choose BL2202SC where you need to hold the latch open for free passage.
Why does this lock use a 28mm latch instead of the standard 60mm?
Many aluminium-framed doors and narrow stile timber doors do not have a wide enough stile to mortice a standard 60mm backset latch. The BL2002SC's 28mm mortice latch has a compact 96×26mm faceplate designed to fit into these narrow profiles. If your door stile is wide enough to accept a 60mm latch, the BL2200SC (60mm, holdback) or BL2501SSECP (60mm, ECP, satin stainless) may be more appropriate.
Is this compatible with electric strikes?
Yes. The 28mm mortice latch format is compatible with electric strikes, making the BL2002SC suitable for access control integrations where an electric strike releases the latch on command. Confirm electric strike compatibility with your access control supplier before specifying.
How do I change the PIN code?
The lock must be removed from the door. Remove the 4 red screws, carefully lift the cover plate (springs are attached), hold the C tumbler depressed at all times, then use the supplied tweezers to reposition the red (coded) and blue (uncoded) tumblers. All square cut-outs must face outward; coloured marks must face upward. Test before reinstalling. Codes are non-sequential — buttons can be pressed in any order. Spare tumblers adjust code length from 3 to 7 digits.
Can I add a holdback to the BL2002SC later?
The holdback mechanism is a different inside paddle assembly. It is not a retrofit add-on for the BL2002SC. If holdback is required, specify the BL2202SC from the outset.
Additional Information
The tumbler code can be set on the bench before installation. Set and verify the code before mounting. This avoids removing a fitted lock for the first code change.
Measure the stile width of your door before ordering. The 28mm backset latch requires a faceplate pocket of 96mm height × 26mm width to be morticed into the door edge. Confirm the stile is wide enough to accommodate this faceplate before purchasing. If the stile is wider than 40mm, a standard 60mm backset latch is likely suitable and may provide more secure bolt engagement.
All Borg locks are warranted against mechanical defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service for a minimum of 12 months from date of sale. The warranty does not cover damage arising from misuse, vandalism, or improper installation. The lock must not be dismantled — doing so will invalidate the warranty.
