Borg BL5000KSC / BL5000KSS Lever Keypad Only - Satin Chrome or Satin Stainless
At A Glance
Not Available
The Borg BL5000KSC / BL5000KSS Lever Keypad Only is the outside lever keypad of Borg's BL5000 series, sold on its own as a replacement keypad only in satin chrome or satin stainless. It is the spare the BL5201SC and BL5000SC pages name, and Borg lists it beside its Lockwood conversion kits - see Compatible Borg Locks and Lockwood Conversions.
Like every lock in our mechanical digital range, it needs no batteries, wiring or app. Borg makes the BL5000 series for medium to heavy duty doors, and this keypad has the series' F button for free passage. The code is changed On The Bench - the lock comes off the door for it (how the bench change works).
Usually ships same day if ordered before 11am AEST (excludes weekends and Queensland public holidays).
This listing is the outside keypad and lever only. A working lock also needs the inside handle, latch, strike plate and spindle, which come with a complete Borg BL5000 series lock such as the BL5201SC - order a complete lock if there is no Borg lock on the door yet. Converting a Lockwood lock instead? The keypad pairs with a Borg conversion kit, and no kit includes a keypad - see the conversions.
To change the code, the lock comes off the door, the four red screws and the cover panel come off the code chamber, and the coded (red) and un-coded (blue) pieces are moved with tweezers while C is held down. It works, but it is fiddly. Spare coded and un-coded pieces are sold separately if one goes missing mid-change. If you expect to change the code even once a year, choose an Easicode Pro keypad instead - see the bench method step by step, where bench changes go wrong and do you always need ECP?.
Enter the code and press F before you push the lever down: the lever then stays free and withdraws the latch until you cancel it. To cancel, press F then C. If you never want the function, the F piece can be taken out On The Bench. Passage mode explained and free passage on commercial doors.
The keypad works entirely mechanically: no batteries, no wiring and no app, so there is nothing to go flat. How a mechanical digital lock works.
Borg makes the BL5000 series for medium to heavy duty doors, with a strengthened clutch and coding chamber, and cycle tests it to 100,000 operations. For the heaviest commercial traffic, Borg's heavy duty lock is the BL7701, and the Lockwood 3572DX and Carbine CDL7200LL are the other heavy duty options - what heavy duty actually means.

Frequently Asked Questions
It is the outside keypad of Borg's BL5000 series. The BL5201SC and BL5000SC pages name it as their spare, and the BL5001 uses the same series keypad. The Marine Grade Pro Easicode Pro BL5001MGPROECP lists it too, but the finish and code change method differ. Check your lock and ask us - the full list is in the compatibility table.
On The Bench. Take the lock off the door, remove the four red screws and lift the cover panel off the code chamber, hold C down and move the coded (red) and un-coded (blue) pieces with tweezers - square cut-outs facing out, coloured marks facing up. Refit the panel and test the new code before the lock goes back on. Step by step: the bench method and the Borg BL5000 non-ECP manual (PDF).
Enter the code and press F before you push the lever down - the lever then stays free and withdraws the latch until you cancel. To cancel, press F then C. If you never want it, the F piece can be removed On The Bench. Passage mode explained.
Yes, with the matching Borg kit: the BL50013572K for a Lockwood 3572 mortice lock (or the BL50013572KBTB for a keypad on both sides) and the BL50013582K for a 3582 on an outward-opening door. None of the kits includes a keypad. Ask us to check your lock first.
Borg grades satin stainless for internal or sheltered external doors and satin chrome for internal doors, so pick satin stainless for a covered outside door. Neither is for the weather or the coast - see environment grades explained.
Additional Information
- Keypad only, by design: replacing just the outside unit keeps the inside handle, latch and strike already on the door - why spare parts matter.
- Keep spare pieces for the bench: BLS515 coded and BLS514 un-coded pieces are the 5000 series spares.
- Test before you rely on it: after any code change, keep the door open and try the new code several times before you close it.
- Service it on a schedule: the Borg servicing guide (PDF) covers a light monthly clean with a silicone-based spray - not an oil like WD40 - and a yearly service with the lock off the door.
- Reading Borg item codes: SC is satin chrome and SS satin stainless, K marks the keypad-only units, and Chapter 16 decodes the rest.
Warranty
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. Proof of purchase required for all claims.
