PIN CodeThe Borg BL2601MGPRO (BL2601 MG Pro) is a fully mechanical digital knob lock built for outdoor and coastal environments. Designated Marine Grade Pro (MG Pro), it is constructed from 316 stainless steel throughout - including the latch - and is finished in a matt black Marine Pro coating engineered for extended resistance to salt air, UV exposure, and harsh weather. The lock has been independently tested to 1,000 hours of continuous salt spray, and Borg warrants corrosion resistance for 12 months from date of sale.
The BL2601 MG Pro uses a clutching knob mechanism: the external knob remains free-turning until the correct PIN is entered. The inside lever is always free to turn for immediate egress. An anti-thrust deadlatch pin secures the latch automatically when the gate or door closes. The lock is fully mechanical, requires no batteries, and has no wiring or power connection of any kind.
Code change is done On The Bench: the lock comes off the door, the red (coded) and blue (uncoded) code pieces are rearranged using the supplied tweezers, and the lock is refitted. Code length is adjustable from 3 to 7 digits, with over 8,000 possible combinations. The code is non-sequential - digits can be entered in any order. For on-door code change without removal, see the BL2601 MG Pro ECP with Easicode Pro.
The BL2601 MG Pro accepts doors from 35mm to 80mm thick, making it suitable for a wider range of gate and door constructions than the standard marine grade range. It sits within our wider range of Digital Mechanical Locks.

Code Change is On The Bench - Lock Removal Required
The BL2601 MG Pro uses Borg's On The Bench code system. Changing the PIN means taking the lock off the door, rearranging the internal red (coded) and blue (uncoded) code pieces with the supplied tweezers, and refitting. It is fiddly work, best done once and left alone. For on-door code change without removal, see the BL2601 MG Pro ECP with Easicode Pro - our Changing Codes on Mechanical Digital Locks guide walks through both methods side by side.

Installing on a narrow aluminium gate frame?
The BL2601MGPRO ships as standard with a 60mm backset tubular latch, which will not fit a narrow 50mm x 50mm aluminium gate frame. You can still fit this lock to a narrow-stile frame - order the matching 28mm backset latch below and use it in place of the standard 60mm latch that comes in the box.
The 28mm latch is handed and cannot be reversed, so confirm which way the gate opens as well as the frame size - see Accessories and Spares. Not sure which stile width you have? See our Gate Post Too Narrow for a 60mm Latch guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the BL2601MGPRO and the BL2600MGBC?
The BL2601 MG Pro is a higher specification product. It is constructed from 316 stainless steel (the same grade used in marine and food-processing equipment) and has been tested to 1,000 hours of continuous salt spray exposure. The BL2600 MG uses standard marine grade materials and finish. For properties within a few hundred metres of the ocean, on canals, or adjacent to pools, the BL2601 MG Pro is the better-suited product.

How do I change the PIN code?
The BL2601 MG Pro uses the On The Bench code system. To change the code, the lock must be removed from the door. With the keypad face-down on a flat surface, remove the two red cover plate screws and press and hold the C button. Use the supplied tweezers to rearrange the red (coded) and blue (uncoded) code pieces to your new code combination. Replace the cover plate, refit the lock, and test the new code several times before closing the gate or door. Record the new code on the Code Card.

Is there a version with on-door code change?
Yes. The BL2601 MG Pro ECP uses the same 316 SS construction and Marine Pro finish but adds the Easicode Pro (ECP) on-door code change system. This allows the code to be changed while the lock is installed on the door using the included code change key. Choose the ECP version if code changes will be performed regularly on site without removing the lock.

Will this fit my aluminium gate frame?
The 60mm backset latch supplied in the box is designed for standard door applications. On narrow aluminium gate frames (50mm x 50mm or similar), the standard latch will not align correctly. The shorter 28mm backset latch is required, and it is handed, so order the correct hand - Left Hand or Right Hand - before completing your order if you are fitting to a gate frame.

Is the BL2601 MG Pro suitable for pool gates in Queensland?
The lock provides keyless access and 316 SS corrosion resistance appropriate for pool gate environments. However, pool gate compliance in Queensland is governed by the Pool Safety Standard under the Building Act 1975 and requires specific self-closing and self-latching mechanisms. The lock's job is access control, not the barrier's self-latching function: a pool barrier gate needs its own compliant self-closing, self-latching gate latch (such as a MagnaLatch) doing the barrier job, with this lock providing access control on top of it. Compliance must be confirmed with a licensed pool safety inspector before specifying any lock for a pool gate. See the full pool safety barrier gate treatment in our latch vs bolt guide. We can advise on the correct gate latch and installation configuration.

Additional Information
Set the Code Before Installation:
The lock ships with a factory preset code printed on the Code Card in the box. Change the code before installing the lock - it is far easier on the bench than after fitting. The code change procedure requires the lock to be off the door every time, so getting this right before first installation avoids an immediate removal and refit.

Why 316 Stainless Steel Matters in Coastal Environments:
Standard stainless steel (304 grade) provides adequate corrosion resistance for most indoor applications, but in coastal environments with salt-laden air - particularly within 500 metres of the ocean or on canal-front properties - 304 SS can develop surface rust or pitting within months. 316 grade stainless adds molybdenum to the alloy, significantly improving resistance to chloride-induced corrosion. The BL2601 MG Pro's 1,000 hour salt spray test verifies this performance under independent testing conditions.

Marine Grade Maintenance:
Even with 316 SS construction, periodic maintenance extends service life in extreme coastal environments. Monthly: wipe down with a silicon-based lubricant (such as GT85) applied by light spray; remove excess with a soft cloth. Do not use oil-based lubricants such as WD-40 - these attract dirt and degrade internal components. Annually: remove the lock and spray internally through the code piece holes on the reverse of the keypad with silicon-based lubricant; test all buttons and knob function. Full servicing instructions are in the Borg Servicing Guide PDF below.

Anti-Thrust Deadlatch - Strike Plate Positioning:
The anti-thrust pin beside the latchbolt must NOT enter the hole drilled for the latchbolt in the strike plate. If it does, the deadlatch function will not activate and the latch may be vulnerable to shimming. Adjust the strike plate position so the anti-thrust pin sits on the face of the strike plate when the door or gate is fully closed. Check this during installation before the gate is put into regular service.

Material & Coastal Suitability
Why does 316 stainless steel matter over standard 304?
Standard 304 stainless resists corrosion well indoors, but salt-laden coastal air attacks it - within 500 metres of the ocean, or on a canal-front property, 304 can develop surface rust or pitting within months. 316 grade adds molybdenum to the alloy, which significantly improves resistance to chloride-induced corrosion. That's why the BL2601 MG Pro is built from 316 throughout, including the latch, not just the visible keypad housing.

That's why the BL2601 MG Pro is built from 316 throughout, including the latch, not just the visible keypad housing.
How much better is the BL2601 MG Pro than the standard BL2600 MG?
It's a genuine step up, not just a name change. The BL2600 MG uses standard marine grade materials and finish. The BL2601 MG Pro is 316 stainless throughout and independently tested to 1,000 continuous hours of salt spray. If the gate is within a few hundred metres of the ocean, on a canal, or right next to a pool, the BL2601 MG Pro is worth the upgrade.

Locking & Operation
What does "clutching knob" mean in practice?
The external knob spins freely on its own - it doesn't grip the latch mechanism - until the correct PIN is entered. This means someone can't force the door open by torquing the knob; without the code, turning the knob does nothing to the latch.

Does the gate lock itself automatically when it swings shut?
Yes. The anti-thrust deadlatch pin secures the bolt automatically as soon as the door or gate closes - this is a genuine self-latching tubular latch, unlike the rim-deadbolt models in the Borg range which need a manual thumb-turn every time. Worth knowing if self-latching matters for your application (e.g. a pool gate).

Worth knowing if self-latching matters for your application (e.g. a pool gate).
Can I hold the gate open without a code?
Yes, via the holdback function - the inside lever can be held in the open position for free passage. If you don't want this function available, the box includes a holdback snib blank to disable it.

Fit & Gate Installation
Will the standard latch fit a narrow aluminium gate frame?
No - and this is the single most common install issue with this product. The box ships with a standard 60mm backset latch sized for timber and aluminium doors, not narrow gate posts. On a 50mm x 50mm (or similar) aluminium gate frame the standard latch won't align correctly. You'll need the shorter 28mm backset latch instead - it is handed and cannot be reversed - Left Hand or Right Hand - add it to your order before your gate arrives to avoid an install delay.

What door and gate thickness does the BL2601 MG Pro suit?
35mm to 80mm, with the 100mm and 85mm spindles included in the box covering that whole range - wider coverage than the standard marine grade range, which is one reason this is the go-to option for oversized or non-standard gate sections.

Code Change & Security
Can the code be changed without taking the lock off the door?
Not on this model - the BL2601 MG Pro uses the On The Bench method, so the lock has to come off the door, cover plate removed, and the red and blue code pieces rearranged with the supplied tweezers before refitting. If you'll be changing codes regularly on site, the BL2601 MG Pro ECP does the same job with on-door Easicode Pro code change instead.

How long can the code be, and does the order of digits matter?
Code length is adjustable from 3 to 7 digits using the code pieces, with over 8,000 possible combinations, and entry is non-sequential - the coded buttons can be pressed in any order, not a fixed sequence, as long as every coded button gets pressed.

Compliance & Pool Gates
Can I use this on a Queensland pool gate?
The lock itself is well suited to the environment - keyless, 316 SS, self-latching via the anti-thrust deadlatch pin. But pool gate compliance in Queensland is governed by the Pool Safety Standard under the Building Act 1975, with specific self-closing and self-latching requirements. The lock's job is access control, not the barrier's self-latching function: a pool barrier gate needs its own compliant self-closing, self-latching gate latch (such as a MagnaLatch) doing the barrier job, with this lock providing access control on top of it. Get compliance confirmed by a licensed pool safety inspector before specifying any lock for a pool gate - we can advise on the correct gate latch and installation configuration.

How to Make a Claim
For full returns and warranty claim procedures, visit our Returns & Warranty page - this is kept up to date and is the authoritative reference for current claim steps.
- Contact Terry's Tradies Pty Ltd first if you purchased through us or one of its associated trading names - we will assess the issue and manage the warranty process with LSC on your behalf. You do not need to contact LSC or Borg Locks UK directly.
- Have your proof of purchase ready (receipt or order confirmation).
- Warranty claims for Borg products in Australia are processed through LSC, the authorised Australian importer and distributor. Where an item is returned to LSC, freight charges must be prepaid and the item returned within the warranty period.
- If LSC finds the returned item to be defective, it will be repaired or replaced, and a detailed assessment report is provided to the customer after examination.
