Borg BL5401DDAMGPROECP Mechanical Digital Lock - DDA Compliant Lever - Marine Grade Pro - Easicode Pro - Black

At A Glance

PIN codePIN Code

The Borg BL5401DDAMGPROECP is a medium to heavy duty fully mechanical digital lever lock that brings three specifications together in one unit: Marine Grade Pro construction, Easicode Pro on-door code change, and a DDA compliant AS1428.1-2009 flat bar lever. The flat bar lever needs far less grip force than a round bar lever, which is why it is specified for disability access doors, accessible toilet facilities, and BCA-compliant commercial and institutional work. There are no batteries, no wiring and nothing to charge.

316 stainless steel internal components under the MG Pro 2 black marine coating, salt spray tested to 1,000 hours - this is the BL5401 to specify on coastal, beachside and marine sites where the satin stainless BL5401SSDDAECP would be out of its depth. Easicode Pro (ECP) changes the code on the door in about 10 seconds; the lock is cycle tested to 100,000 operations and fits doors 35mm to 54mm thick on the supplied fixings, and the inside DDA lever is always free to turn for exit. It is not fire tested: for a fire door, the On The Bench BL5401SSDDA is the fire tested DDA lock.

Dispatch

Usually ships same day if ordered before 11am AEST (excludes weekends and Queensland public holidays).
Not fire tested
Not Fire Tested - Not for Fire Doors
The BL5401DDAMGPROECP has not been fire tested, so it is not for fire door assemblies. The fire tested DDA lever lock is the On The Bench BL5401SSDDA - tested up to 4 hours (depending on the type of doorset) on fire door assemblies in accordance with AS 1905.1-2005, Part 1: Fire Resistant Doorsets - and the round bar BL5001 carries the same testing. For a fire door, choose one of those, or browse our fire door rated lock range.
DDA compliant lever
DDA Compliant Lever - BCA AS1428.1-2009
The flat bar lever complies with BCA AS1428.1-2009 (Design for Access and Mobility). It needs less grip force and wrist torque than a round bar or knob lever, so it suits users with limited hand strength or dexterity - disability access doors, accessible toilet facilities, NDIS and SDA housing, and BCA-compliant commercial applications. Lever compliance relates to the handle design only; it does not imply full building access compliance for the installation, and the keypad itself still needs finger pressure. See our DDA smart locks for NDIS and disability housing guide, the DDA section of Buyer's Guide Chapter 09 and the AS1428 coverage in Chapter 11.
Marine Grade Pro
Marine Grade Pro - 316 Stainless Steel - 1,000 Hours Salt Spray Tested
316 stainless steel internal components and a stainless steel coding chamber under the MG Pro 2 black marine external coating, salt spray tested to 1,000 continuous hours - a laboratory cabinet result (the finish held up that long in continuous salt fog), not a promise of service life on the coast, which is why the maintenance routine below matters. Suitable for coastal, beachside and marine environments where the satin stainless BL5401SSDDAECP is not. What MG Pro actually means on a Borg lock is decoded in MG Pro and ECP Explained, and the three-brand corrosion comparison is in Lockwood vs Borg vs Carbine.
Corrosion resistance
Corrosion Resistance Warranted - 12 Months
Borg warrants the corrosion resistance of this Marine Grade Pro unit for 12 months from date of sale under specified conditions - the routine in the maintenance notes keeps those conditions met; see the warranty details.
Easicode Pro code change
Easicode Pro - Change the Code on the Door
With Easicode Pro (ECP) the lock stays on the door - Borg puts the change at about 10 seconds. With the door open, enter the current code, put the change key over the code change button at the top of the keypad, turn it 90 degrees clockwise and hold it in, press C, then enter the new code twice. Release the key, turn it back and remove it, then press C or turn the lever to set the new code - and test it five times before the door closes. The change key is in the box (a spare is the BL5000ECPCK), and so is the code change deactivation plug, which stops anyone re-coding the keypad on the door once your code is set. Step by step in how the Borg on-door change works and page 4 of the ECP Instruction Segments (PDF). Never force the change key - here is why.
Free passage
Free Passage - the F Button
Enter the code, turn the lever and press F: the outside lever stays free turning and withdraws the latch, so the door opens without a code - handy for business hours in an amenities block or a move-in day. To lock it again, turn the lever and press C; you will hear a click as the coding chamber resets. It is not a holdback - the latch still engages when the door closes. If you never want the function, the free passage deactivation plug in the box fits into the F slot on the back of the keypad and switches it off until the keypad is taken off the door. Passage mode explained.
Free egress
Free Egress - Inside DDA Lever Always Opens
The inside flat bar lever is always free to turn, so no code is ever needed to open the door from inside - the behaviour exit paths expect, and the same low-force action as the outside lever. If you need a code on both faces instead, the back-to-back BL5771MGPROECP does that with a key override both sides - but a back-to-back lock needs a code or key to get out, so it is not for fire doors, emergency exit or fire egress doors. Exit path logic is unpacked in our commercial guide.
No batteries
Fully Mechanical - No Batteries Required
The BL5401DDAMGPROECP is entirely mechanical. No power source, no wiring, no battery compartment and no battery maintenance at any point in the lock's service life - a real advantage on disability access doors in healthcare and institutional settings where power reliability must not be a factor. See why mechanical digital locks are chosen for critical access points.
Suitable use icon
Designed for medium to heavy usage areas
Accessible toilets, amenities, offices, healthcare and institutional doors with regular daily traffic on coastal sites. Borg cycle tests the series to 100,000 operations. See our commercial mechanical digital lock guide.
Not suitable icon
Not recommended for extremely high traffic without a servicing schedule
For a genuinely heavy duty, high traffic DDA door consider the Carbine CDL7100SC (rear DDA lever, C7 salt spray, heavy duty body); for other high traffic doors the Lockwood 3572DX or Borg BL7701 - our high traffic guide explains what separates them.
Caution
Single PIN Code Only
The BL5401DDAMGPROECP, like every Borg mechanical digital lock, holds one active PIN code at a time - everyone shares the same code, and there is no audit trail. That is a characteristic of the mechanical coding chamber, not a fault. If you need individual user codes or access records, a smart lock is the right tool instead - our honest limitations rundown covers the trade-off.

Key Features

  • DDA compliant flat bar lever - AS1428.1-2009; suitable for disability access, accessible toilet facilities and BCA-compliant applications. See our DDA chapter.

    BL5401DDAMGPROECP

Finish selection does not affect functionality, compliance, or performance. This Marine Grade Pro model is made in MG Pro 2 black only - a different construction grade, not just a colour change. The satin stainless Easicode Pro version is the BL5401SSDDAECP, and the fire tested On The Bench version is the BL5401SSDDA.

Borg BL5401 DDA Series - Product Family

Every BL5401 DDA model uses the same AS1428.1-2009 flat bar lever and is fully mechanical. The columns that decide the choice: the code change method, the weather grade and fire testing - only the On The Bench BL5401SSDDA is fire tested. The grade and code change naming is decoded in MG Pro and ECP Explained.

Accessories and Spare Parts - BL5400 and BL5000 Series

The BL5401 sits on Borg's 5000 series platform, so its spare keypads, latches, plates and kits are all catalogued items - a damaged or worn keypad is a part swap, not a whole new lock. It is a big part of why this range outlasts hardware store imitations. One honest note on spare keypads: the catalogued DDA spare keypads are standard-grade satin stainless units - Borg does not list a black Marine Grade Pro DDA keypad as a separate spare. For a keypad replacement on a coastal install, contact us first.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the DDA lever and what makes it different from a standard lever?
The BL5401 uses a flat bar lever compliant with BCA AS1428.1-2009 (Design for Access and Mobility). It needs significantly less grip force and torque than a round bar lever, which makes it usable for people with limited hand strength, arthritis or reduced dexterity, and it is the correct lever type wherever BCA accessibility compliance is required of the locking hardware. Lever compliance covers the handle design only; full building access compliance is a certifier's call. See the DDA section of Chapter 09 and AS1428 in Chapter 11.
How do I change the PIN code on the ECP model?
With the door open, enter the current code. Put the change key over the code change button at the top of the keypad, turn it 90 degrees clockwise and hold it in. Press C to clear, enter the new code, then enter it again to confirm. Release the key, turn it back and remove it, then press C or turn the lever to set the new code - and test it at least five times before closing the door. The code is any-order: if it is 1234, then 4321 also opens the lock. Full walkthrough with photos in our ECP code change steps and page 4 of the ECP Instruction Segments (PDF).
Is the BL5401DDAMGPROECP fire rated?
No. The BL5401DDAMGPROECP has not been fire tested, so it is not for fire doors. The fire tested DDA lever lock is the On The Bench BL5401SSDDA (AS 1905.1-2005, up to 4 hours depending on the type of doorset), and the round bar BL5001 carries the same testing. Browse our fire door rated locks and read the fire door certification guide.
Should I choose this Marine Grade Pro model or the satin stainless BL5401SSDDAECP?
By location. Anywhere with salt in the air - coastal, beachside, marina, poolside - needs this Marine Grade Pro model: 316 stainless steel internals under the MG Pro 2 coating, salt spray tested to 1,000 hours. Internal doors and sheltered external doors inland are well served by the satin stainless BL5401SSDDAECP, the same lever and Easicode Pro chamber at a lower price. Neither is fire tested - for a fire door, the BL5401SSDDA. Do you need MG Pro?
Can I reverse the handing on site?
Yes. All BL5401 units are factory set for right hand doors. Remove the rubber grommet at the base of the keypad handle, use the included hex wrench to remove the grub screw, turn the handle 180 degrees and refit; repeat for the inside handle. Handing is read from the outside of the door: hinges on the right means right hand, hinges on the left means left hand, regardless of swing direction. No special tools beyond the included hex wrench are required; the handing chart is on page 1 of the ECP Instruction Segments (PDF).
What does Marine Grade Pro actually protect against?
Salt-air corrosion - the thing that quietly destroys standard door hardware within a couple of years on beachfront sites. The MG Pro build pairs 316 stainless steel internal components with the MG Pro 2 black external coating, and the assembly is tested to 1,000 continuous hours of salt spray - a laboratory result, which is why Borg backs the finish with a 12 month corrosion warranty rather than vague claims. The full MG / MG Pro / ECP naming system is decoded in MG Pro and ECP Explained, and the three brands are compared in Lockwood vs Borg vs Carbine.

Additional Information

Maintenance:
Monthly: wipe the keypad, both levers and the exposed latch with a light spray of silicon-based lubricant (such as GT85) and remove the excess with a soft cloth. Do not use oil-based lubricants such as WD-40 - they attract dirt and wear down internal parts over time. In direct salt spray zones, rinse the external surfaces with fresh water periodically. Annually: remove the lock from the door, spray the inside through the button holes on the reverse of the keypad with silicon-based lubricant, spray all fixings, accessories and the latch, then press each button and operate both levers several times to confirm smooth operation. The routine keeps the corrosion warranty conditions met. Full steps are in the Borg Lock Servicing Guide (PDF), and how long digital locks last covers what decides lifespan.
AS1428.1 Lever Compliance Note:
The DDA flat bar lever meets the design requirements of AS1428.1-2009 for locking hardware in accessible environments. Full building compliance requires confirmation with a building certifier or access consultant. For NDIS and SDA projects, funding pathways for access hardware are covered in our NDIS guide - we can supply and install to NDIS participants; contact us to discuss.
Fire Doors:
This lock is not fire tested, so it is not for fire door assemblies. Borg's fire tested lever locks are the On The Bench BL5401SSDDA (the DDA flat bar lever) and the round bar BL5001, tested to AS 1905.1-2005 up to 4 hours depending on the type of doorset. On an older apartment fire door, read our asbestos warning before anyone drills, and our apartment fire door compliance guide for the wider picture.
Spindle Selection:
Two spindles are supplied (80mm and 90mm). The general rule is door thickness plus 30mm for the minimum spindle length - at least 15mm must seat inside each handle. Use the longest spindle that fits; a spindle that is too short can disengage when the door is slammed. Spindle fitting by lock type is on page 3 of the ECP Instruction Segments (PDF), and our advice and installation service can take it from here.
Comparing the BL5401 DDA with the Carbine CDL7100SC DDA:
If maximum cycle rating and corrosion resistance are the priority, the Carbine CDL7100SC (C7 salt spray, AS4145.2, rear BCA DDA lever) is worth comparing - a heavier commercial duty lockset suited to higher traffic sites. The BL5401 is the lighter, lower cost choice with on-door code change. See the DDA options in the heavy duty commercial locks guide and Chapter 16.
Testing the New Code - Do Not Close the Door Until You Have Tested:
After any Easicode Pro code change, test the new code at least five times before closing the door. The change is confirmed only when the lever operates on the new code - there is no key override on this lock to get you back in. The safe testing procedure is in our code change guide.

Borg BL5401DDAMGPROECP - FAQ, Setup and Owner's Guide

Everything owners, installers and specifiers ask about the BL5401DDAMGPROECP DDA lever lock. For the wider category start with the Mechanical Digital Locks Buyer's Guide chapter; for DDA and NDIS context see Chapter 09 - DDA, NDIS and Accessibility.

Accessibility and Compliance

What exactly does AS1428.1-2009 compliance cover on the BL5401?
AS1428.1-2009 (Design for Access and Mobility) specifies minimum requirements for the design of facilities for people with disabilities. On this product, compliance relates specifically to the lever handle design - the flat bar format needs less grip force and wrist torque than a round bar or knob, within the standard's force thresholds for operable hardware. Compliance does not extend to the keypad or code entry, which needs finger pressure and manual dexterity. If full AS1428 compliance throughout the locking system is required, consult your access consultant. See AS1428 in Chapter 11.
Who typically specifies this lock?
Access consultants, builders and certifiers working on BCA-compliant projects: accessible toilets in commercial buildings, NDIS and SDA housing, healthcare and aged care, schools and clubs. The flat bar lever is the item that satisfies AS1428.1-2009 for the door hardware; the keypad is what removes key management from shared facilities. Our NDIS and disability housing guide walks through who signs off on what.
Is the BL5401DDAMGPROECP eligible for NDIS funding?
It may be eligible under assistive technology categories where DDA-compliant door hardware is specified in a participant's plan. Eligibility depends on the plan, the assessed need and the registered provider handling the claim. We can supply and install the lock to NDIS participants - contact us to discuss. See NDIS funding for DDA hardware and the NDIS funding section of Chapter 09.
Can people always get out from the inside?
Yes. The inside DDA lever is always free - no code, no key, no thought required to exit. Only the outside lever is code-controlled. This free egress behaviour is exactly what exit path compliance wants from an access-controlled door; the exit paths section of our commercial guide explains the requirements.
What exactly is the fire door position on this lock?
The BL5401DDAMGPROECP has not been fire tested, so it is not for fire doors - however compliant the lever is. The fire tested DDA lever lock is the On The Bench BL5401SSDDA (AS 1905.1-2005, up to 4 hours depending on the type of doorset). Strata and apartment installs have extra rules; see what a compliant fire door installation looks like and fire door types and certification.

Codes and Code Change

What is the full Easicode Pro code change procedure?
With the door open: (1) enter the existing code; (2) put the code change key over the code change button, turn it 90 degrees clockwise, press and hold; (3) press C to clear; (4) enter the new digits twice; (5) release the key, turn it back and remove it; (6) press C or turn the lever to set; (7) the new code is live; (8) test it at least five times before closing the door. If the new code fails, the old and new digits may have combined - enter both together and repeat from step 1. If the lever free-turns, the new code never set - repeat from step 2. Illustrated: page 4 of the ECP Instruction Segments (PDF) and our code changing guide.
We have lost the code - can it be recovered?
Yes, with the keypad off the door. The back of the keypad has 10 portholes, one per button. Press C to reset, then read the markings through the portholes: red lines closest to the porthole centre are coded digits, blue lines are uncoded. Note the digits (there is no sequence - the coded buttons pressed in any order open the lock), refit the unit, then change the code on the door. Procedure with diagram: page 6 of the ECP Instruction Segments (PDF) - or we can do it for you.
Can I stop staff changing the code on the door?
Yes. The box includes an on-door code change deactivation plug - put it into the arrow-marked hole at the top centre of the keypad back (dome up) before installation, and the code can then only be changed with the unit off the door. Handy for managed sites where only maintenance should touch codes. Procedure: page 2 of the ECP Instruction Segments (PDF).
Why does the code work in any order?
The mechanical coding chamber reads which buttons are depressed, not the sequence. That is why the combination pool is stated as over 1,000 rather than the millions an electronic keypad claims - it is an honest mechanical figure, and it also means an onlooker cannot infer the code from the order you press. Avoid obvious sets (1-2-3-4) and change the code when staff leave. Day-to-day: press C first to reset, enter the code, operate the lever. Any-order codes explained.

Installation and Setup

How do I reverse the handing on site?
All BL5401 units ship factory set for right hand doors. Remove the rubber grommet at the base of the keypad handle, use the included hex wrench to remove the grub screw, turn the handle 180 degrees and refit; repeat for the inside handle. Handing is read from outside the door: hinges on the right is right hand, hinges on the left is left hand. Handing chart: page 1 of the ECP Instruction Segments (PDF).
My door is thicker than 54mm - will it fit?
The BL5401DDAMGPROECP comes with fixings for 35-54mm doors. For a thicker door, talk to us at order time about longer fixings and the spindle: the supplied 80mm and 90mm spindles cover the standard range, and at least 15mm of spindle must seat inside each handle.
Can I install it myself?
Yes, on a standard timber door it is a competent-DIY job: the drilling template (PDF) gives the 159mm hole centres and the 60mm or 70mm backset lines, and the supplied M4 screws cover the 35-54mm door range. see our advice and installation service.
Will it drive a third party lockcase instead of the supplied latch?
Usually yes - the 8mm square spindle suits most leading tubular latch and mortice lockcase brands, and the Lockwood 3572 and 3582 adaptor kits in the Accessories table mount the keypad onto those lockcases. Keep at least 15mm of spindle engaged in each handle when trimming. Confirm spindle compatibility with the lockcase manufacturer before specifying a multi-brand install; details on page 3 of the ECP Instruction Segments (PDF).

Suitability and Environment

What maintenance does a coastal install need?
Marine grade resists salt attack - it does not eliminate maintenance. Rinse external surfaces with fresh water periodically in direct salt spray zones, wipe monthly with a silicon-based lubricant (never oil-based), and do the annual internal service in the Borg Servicing Guide (PDF). That routine keeps the 12 month corrosion warranty conditions met and the finish performing well beyond it. The 1,000 hour salt spray figure in context.
Is it heavy duty enough for a busy public entrance?
For a genuinely high traffic public entrance - hundreds of cycles a day, every day - a maximum heavy duty lock is the better tool: the Carbine CDL7100SC keeps a rear DDA lever, and the Lockwood 3572DX or Borg BL7701 cover other doors. The BL5401 is a medium to heavy duty lock - 100,000 cycles covers offices, amenities and institutional doors comfortably, provided a servicing schedule is kept on busier doors. What heavy duty actually means.
Is this suitable where anti-ligature hardware is required?
No - the DDA flat bar lever is an accessibility lever, not an anti-ligature design. For behavioural health, correctional or other ligature-risk environments, use a purpose-built anti-ligature product such as the Borg BL2901SCECP anti-ligature knob.

Spares and the BL5401 Family

The keypad is worn or damaged - do I replace the whole lock?
No. The BL5401KSSDDAECP spare ECP keypad is the direct replacement outside unit - the latch, inside handle and fixings stay on the door. The other DDA keypad also fits, but the coding chamber lives in the keypad, so fitting it changes the code change method (and both catalogued spares are satin stainless, not black MG Pro - contact us for a coastal replacement). The full spares set is in the Accessories table on the main tab, and why genuine spares availability matters is a story in itself.
How does Borg compare with Lockwood and Carbine here?
Lockwood DX is the maximum heavy duty mortice benchmark, Carbine CDL7 is the value heavy duty lockset (the CDL7100SC even offers a rear DDA lever), and Borg owns the breadth - the only range with an on-door ECP code change and AS1428.1 DDA flat bar lever in one lock. The three-brand comparison: Lockwood vs Borg vs Carbine, and Borg's brand story is in Chapter 10.
