The Borg BL2202SC is a fully mechanical digital lock built specifically for narrow stile doors. Unlike the standard BL2000 series, which uses a 60mm backset tubular latch, the BL2202SC uses a 28mm backset mortice latch with a compact 96×26mm faceplate - the correct choice for aluminium-framed doors, narrow stile timber doors, and any application where a standard 60mm backset latch is too deep for the door stile to accept.

It shares the same proven Borg 2000-series pushbutton mechanism as the rest of the range - no battery, no electronics, no power required - with a knob keypad outside and a paddle handle inside. The inside paddle is always free for immediate egress, with no code required to exit. A holdback function lets the latch be held retracted for continuous free passage, and can be permanently removed if not required.

Because it uses a 28mm mortice latch rather than a tubular one, the BL2202SC is also compatible with electric strikes, making it a genuine option for access control integrations on narrow-profile frames. See our Mechanical Digital Lock guide for how the category works in general.

Estimated Warehouse Dispatch
Usually same day if ordered before 11am AEST (excluding weekends and Qld public holidays)

Holdback Facility - Permanently Removable if Not Needed
Enter the correct code and operate the knob to retract the latch, then engage the holdback to keep it retracted for free passage without further code entry. To release, operate the inside paddle handle. If holdback is not required, the device can be permanently removed from the inside paddle handle before installation. See Passage Mode vs Holdback Mode for how holdback compares with a true passage setting and where each is appropriate.

Not suitable for high traffic commercial use. For heavy duty or high traffic doors, consider Borg BL7701, Lockwood 3572DX, or Carbine CDL7200LL-HD - see our Heavy Duty Commercial Mechanical Digital Locks guide for cycle ratings and fire certification.

Internal and sheltered external use. The BL2202SC is designed for light to medium usage in internal and sheltered external areas - not for doors or gates in direct weather exposure. For fully external or coastal applications, consider a marine grade Borg model such as the BL2601MGPROECP.

How to Change the Code

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does this lock use a 28mm latch instead of the standard 60mm?
Many aluminium-framed doors and narrow stile timber doors simply don't have a wide enough stile to mortice a standard 60mm backset latch. The BL2202SC's 28mm mortice latch, with its compact 96×26mm faceplate, is purpose-built to fit these narrow profiles. If your door stile is wide enough for a 60mm latch, the BL2200SC or BL2501SSECP may be a better fit.

Is this compatible with electric strikes?
Yes. The 28mm mortice latch format is compatible with electric strikes, so the BL2202SC can suit access control integrations where the strike releases the latch on command from a control panel. Confirm compatibility with your access control supplier before specifying.

What's the difference between the BL2202SC and the BL2002SC?
Both use the same 28mm backset mortice latch for narrow stile doors. The BL2202SC has a holdback facility on the inside paddle; the BL2002SC does not. Choose the BL2202SC where holdback is needed, or the BL2002SC for a simpler non-holdback paddle.

Can I set the code before I install the lock?
Yes - the tumbler code can be set and verified on the bench before the lock goes on the door, which avoids having to remove a freshly fitted lock just to do the first code change. See How to Change the Code above for the full procedure.

Is there a key override option?
No - the BL2202SC is code-entry only, with no key cylinder fitted. There is currently no key-override variant in the 28mm narrow-stile format; the closest key-override options in the wider Borg range are on the 60mm-backset platform, such as BL7701.

Additional Information

Confirm your door stile width before ordering. The 28mm backset latch needs a faceplate pocket 96mm high by 26mm wide morticed into the door edge - check your stile is wide enough to accommodate this before purchasing. If your stile is wider than about 40mm, a standard 60mm backset latch is likely suitable and may give a more secure bolt engagement - see the 60mm-backset family members above.

Electric strike integration is a genuine option, not just a technical footnote. Because the 28mm format uses a mortice latch rather than a tubular one, it plays well with electric strikes in access-control setups - a real advantage over the standard 60mm tubular-latch models in the range for buyers integrating with a control panel.
