Borg BL5001HMG Lever Handle - External Grade - Suits 5000 Series - Polished Chrome
The Borg BL5001HMG is a spare external grade lever handle in polished chrome for Borg 5000 Series lever locks. It is supplied as the handle only and is a retrofit for a standard lever, so a worn or damaged lever can be replaced without changing the whole lock.
The external grade build is weather resistant and suits sheltered outdoor doors, but it is not suitable for coastal or saline areas. For fully exposed coastal or beachfront doors, choose a lock in Borg's Marine Grade Pro finish instead. The handle carries no keypad or coding chamber of its own - the locking function stays with the host lock it fits.
The BL5001HMG is brought in to order and cannot be returned for change of mind, so confirm it is the right handle for your lock and contact us for the current lead time before ordering. Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law for faulty goods are unaffected.
