Borg BL3100 Mechanical Digital Gate Lock – Single Keypad – Marine Grade – Black
The Borg BL3100BLK is a fully mechanical marine grade digital gate lock for external metal box-section gate frames. It uses a forend fixing system that clamps directly onto the gate post – no mortice cutting required. The lock suits gate profiles from 30mm to 60mm square on standard telescopic fixings, with an optional XL latchbolt available separately for profiles up to 120mm.
The lock is single-sided: a clutching lever keypad on the outside, and a free-turning paddle handle with optional holdback on the inside. The external lever remains free-turning until the correct PIN is entered, then releases to retract the spring-loaded latch. The inside paddle handle is always free to operate for immediate egress. Fully mechanical — no batteries, no wiring. Code change uses the traditional Borg tumbler system (lock removal required).
Usually same day if ordered before 11am AEST (excluding weekends and Qld public holidays)
These locks use a forend fixing system that clamps directly onto the gate post — no mortice cutting or door-edge drilling required. Designed for square aluminium or steel gate posts from 30–60mm. For profiles wider than 60mm, an optional XL latchbolt extension is available separately.
Marine grade quality keypads tested to 1,000 hours of salt spray exposure. Suitable for coastal, beachside, and outdoor gate installations.
This model uses a tumbler-based code system. To change the PIN, the lock must be removed from the gate. The keypad cover plate is removed and red coded / blue uncoded tumblers are rearranged using the supplied tweezers. For on-gate code change, see the BL3400MGPROECP (single-sided) or BL3430MGPROECP (back-to-back).
The inside paddle/lever handle is always free to operate, providing immediate egress without entering the code.
Entirely mechanical. No power source, no wiring, and no battery maintenance at any point.
Accepts one active PIN code at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the forend fixing system work?
The lock body sits on the face of the gate frame and clamps onto the gate post using telescopic fixing screws supplied. No drilling through the gate edge or mortice pocket is required. The latchbolt projects from the lock body and engages a strike on the gate post or adjacent frame. The latch projection is adjustable from 65mm to 80mm to suit different gate frame widths. For gate posts wider than 60mm, an optional XL latchbolt extension is available separately.
How do I change the PIN code?
The lock must be removed from the gate. Remove the 4 red screws, carefully lift the cover plate (springs attached), hold the C tumbler depressed, then use the supplied tweezers to reposition the red (coded) and blue (uncoded) tumblers. All square cut-outs must face outward. Test the new code before reinstalling. Codes are non-sequential — buttons can be pressed in any order. Spare tumblers allow code length to be adjusted from 3 to 7 digits.
My gate post is wider than 60mm — what do I do?
An optional XL latchbolt extension is available separately, extending the maximum gate post width to 120mm. Contact us or search "Borg XL latchbolt" to find the correct accessory for your gate profile. Always confirm the correct gate post width before ordering.
Is this lock suitable for a pool gate?
The lock's spring-loaded latch is self-latching on gate close, which aligns with pool safety self-latching requirements. However, confirm all pool gate safety compliance requirements with a licensed pool safety inspector before installation, as compliance encompasses more than just the lock (gate height, clearances, overall system). For the Queensland Pool Safety Standard specifically, confirm with your local inspector.
What is the difference between BL3100BLK and BL3400GATE?
Both are single-sided marine grade gate locks with tumbler code change. The BL3400 series uses a larger, more robust forend lockcase with a more substantial anti-climb housing. The BL3100 is a compact single-sided model suited to lighter-duty and residential gate applications. Both use the same forend fixing approach. Choose BL3400GATE for a more heavy-duty gate application; choose BL3100BLK for a lighter-duty or compact single-sided requirement.
Additional Information
The inside paddle handle can be held in the open (free passage) position using the holdback function. This allows free through-traffic when required. If holdback is never needed, the holdback device can be permanently removed from the lock body before installation.
The tumbler code can be set on the bench before installation. Set and verify the code before mounting the lock. This avoids removing a fitted lock for the first code change.
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.
