Borg Mechanical Digital BL2005SC – Knob Keypad – Rim-Fixed Deadbolt – Satin Chrome

Borg Mechanical Digital BL2005SC – Knob Keypad – Rim-Fixed Deadbolt – Satin Chrome

The Borg BL2005SC is a fully mechanical digital lock with a knob keypad outside and a rim-fixed deadbolt. Unlike mortice or tubular latch locks which require a pocket to be cut into the door edge, the BL2005SC deadbolt is surface-mounted on the door face — no door edge drilling or morticing required. The bolt throws 22mm into a strike plate fixed to the door frame.

Operating logic: enter the code on the outside keypad to retract the bolt and open the door. Turn the inside knob to throw the bolt and lock the door. The inside knob can also retract the bolt from inside without entering a code — providing free inside egress. Satin chrome finish. Over 8,000 combinations with the tumbler code system (lock removal required to change code). Suits doors from 35mm to 80mm thick. Both open-in and open-out strike plates are supplied. No batteries.

Estimated Warehouse Dispatch
Usually same day if ordered before 11am AEST (excluding weekends and Qld public holidays)

Rim-Fixed Deadbolt – No Mortice Required
The BL2005SC uses a rim-fixed deadbolt that is surface-mounted on the door face. No pocket needs to be cut into the door edge. The bolt throws 22mm horizontally into a strike plate fixed to the door frame or jamb. This makes it suitable for doors where morticing is not possible — such as hollow-core doors, glass-framed doors, or thin-section doors where cutting a mortice would compromise structural integrity. Both an open-in and an open-out strike plate are supplied.

Code to Open – Turn Inside Knob to Lock
To open: enter the correct code on the outside keypad. The bolt retracts and the door can be opened. To lock: turn the inside knob to throw the bolt into the strike. To open from inside: turn the inside knob in the opposite direction to retract the bolt — no code required from inside. The door stays locked until either the code is entered from outside or the inside knob retracts the bolt.

Inside Knob Always Free – No Code Required to Exit
The inside knob can be turned to retract the deadbolt without entering a code. Free inside egress at all times.

Code Change Requires Lock Removal
Tumbler-based code system. To change the PIN, the lock must be removed. 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. Over 8,000 combinations; code length adjustable 3–7 digits.

Fully Mechanical – No Batteries Required
Entirely mechanical. No power source, no wiring, and no battery maintenance at any point.

Designed for light usage areas – internal use

Not suitable for high traffic commercial use
For heavy duty: consider the Borg BL7701, Lockwood DX, or Carbine CDL7000.

Frequently Asked Questions

Additional Information

Strike Plate Positioning:
The strike plate must be positioned precisely so the bolt engages cleanly and fully when thrown. Mark the bolt position on the door frame before drilling. The bolt should engage at least 15mm into the strike keep when fully extended. If the bolt binds or doesn't engage fully, adjust the strike plate position. Ensure the door closes squarely before fitting the strike to avoid misalignment.

Setting Code 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.

Door Thickness Range:
The BL2005SC suits doors from 35mm to 80mm thick — a wider range than the 35–54mm of tubular latch models in the BL2000 family. The 120mm spindle supplied accommodates this full range. If the spindle needs to be trimmed, cut only from the inside knob side.

Borg Locks Warranty – 12 Months (Australia)
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.
