Borg Mechanical Digital BL4401MGProECP Gate Lock - Lever/Lever - Marine Grade Pro - Easicode - Black
At A Glance
The Borg BL4401 MG Pro ECP is a medium-heavy duty fully mechanical digital lock combining a lever/lever configuration with Easicode Pro (ECP) on-gate code change. Designed specifically for external wooden and timber gates and doors, it uses the same lever keypad housing as the BL3400 gate lock series but is supplied with a 60mm anti-thrust tubular latch suited to wooden gate and door applications. 316 stainless steel internal components, MG Pro black marine grade external coating, and 1,000 hours salt spray testing make it the correct choice for harsh coastal and marine environments - see our MG Pro explained guide for what that coating actually means.
The external lever is free-turning until the correct PIN is entered, then releases to retract the latch. The inside lever is always free to turn for immediate egress. An optional holdback function allows the inside lever to be held open for free passage - removable if not required, see our Passage Mode vs Holdback Mode guide for the full picture. The lock is fully mechanical, requires no batteries, and has no wiring of any kind. It accepts doors and gates from 35mm to 85mm thick using the supplied fixing kit.
Usually same day if ordered before 11am AEST (excluding weekends and Qld public holidays)
This lock ships standard with a 60mm backset tubular latch. If you're mounting on an external gate with a 50mm × 50mm (or similar narrow) aluminium frame, the standard 60mm latch will not fit. Order the matching 28mm backset latch instead - BLS272000LH (left hand) or BLS272000RH (right hand), sold separately. See our gate post too narrow for a 60mm latch guide for the full range of narrow-stile options if you're not sure which backset your frame needs.
316 stainless steel internal components with MG Pro black marine external grade coating. Tested to 1,000 continuous hours of salt spray. Suitable for coastal, beachside, canal-front, and marine environments where standard finishes corrode prematurely - see the salt spray hours comparison and our honest brand corrosion comparison if you're weighing this up against other brands.
Borg warrants corrosion resistance for 12 months from date of sale under specified conditions - see full warranty details.
This lock's 60mm tubular latch is anti-thrust - built with a shaped bolt and an internal deadlocking plunger that stops the bolt being pushed straight back once the door or gate is closed. A basic spring latch can sometimes be forced open from outside by sliding a knife, card, or similar thin tool between the door and frame to push the bevelled bolt back ("loiding"); the anti-thrust mechanism blocks that specific trick. It doesn't turn the latch into a deadbolt, but it closes off the simplest form of manual manipulation - worthwhile extra security on a gate or external door secured by a keypad alone. See the dimensioned latch drawings for exactly how the bolt and strike plate are shaped, or the FAQ for more detail.
The PIN code can be changed while the lock is installed using the included code change key. No lock removal, no tools, no programming device required - see our Borg ECP code-change guide for the full step-by-step with photos. An optional code change disabling plug is included to prevent unauthorised code changes once set. Compare this to the non-ECP BL4401MGPRO, which uses the fiddlier on-the-bench code change method instead.
Entirely mechanical. No power source, no wiring, and no battery maintenance at any point.
For heavy duty (read our what actually makes a lock heavy duty guide first), consider the Lockwood DX, Borg BL7701, or Carbine CDL7000 Series.
The BL4401 MG Pro ECP accepts one active PIN code at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Both are marine grade pro lever/lever locks designed for wooden and timber gates and doors. The ECP model allows the PIN code to be changed on the door using the included code change key - no lock removal required. The non-ECP model (BL4401MGPRO) uses the on the bench code change method, requiring the keypad to be removed and the pins rearranged by hand - genuinely fiddly. The ECP model also accepts slightly thicker doors (up to 85mm vs 80mm) and offers 4,000+ code combinations; the non-ECP offers 8,000+. If you think you'll ever want to change the code more than once, ECP is worth the extra cost.
With the door or gate in the open position, enter the current code. Insert the included code change key into the hole in the * button and hold it down. Press C to clear the existing code. Enter your new code, then press all the digits once more to confirm they are set. Release the key from the * button, then press C or rotate the lever to finalise. Test the new code at least five times before closing the gate. If a mistake is made, press C to cancel and start again from step one. See our ECP code change steps and why testing five times matters for the full picture.
The BL4401 MG Pro ECP is designed for wooden and timber gates. If fitting to a narrow aluminium frame (50mm x 50mm or similar), the standard 60mm tubular latch included in the box will not align correctly - see the warning above. An extended latch (BLS272000LH / BLS272000RH) is required for aluminium gate frame applications. For purpose-built metal box-section gate locks, see our gate post too narrow guide for the full comparison of options.
Is this lock suitable for pool gate compliance in Queensland?
The BL4401 MG Pro ECP provides keyless access and auto-latches on door closing, which aligns with the self-latching requirement of the Queensland Pool Safety Standard. Full pool gate compliance requires confirmation with a licensed pool safety inspector, as requirements include self-closing mechanisms, latch height positioning, and gate clearance specifications. See our pool gate latch treatment guide for the canonical rundown, and note that holdback/passage functions have their own compliance rules if you're planning to use one on a pool gate. Terry's can advise on the correct latch and installation configuration for your specific gate - see our advice and installation page.
It refers to a tubular latch with a built-in deadlocking plunger that stops the bolt being pushed straight back once the door is closed. A basic spring latch can sometimes be forced by sliding a knife or card between the door and frame to push the bevelled bolt in - the anti-thrust mechanism blocks exactly that manoeuvre. It's not a substitute for a deadbolt, but it's a genuine step up from a plain tubular latch and standard on this product. See the callout above for the full explanation and the dimensioned latch drawings below.
Additional Information
The BL4401 uses lever handles on both sides rather than the knob used on the BL2600/BL3400 series. A lever requires less grip force and torque than a knob, making it suitable for heavier or outward-opening gates and for users who may find a knob difficult to turn - including elderly users or those with limited hand strength. For applications where knob operation is preferred, see the BL2601 or BL3401 series in the Borg range.
Monthly: clean the keypad and lever surfaces with a light spray of silicon-based lubricant (GT85 or equivalent); remove excess with a soft cloth. Do not use oil-based lubricants such as WD-40 - they attract dirt and degrade internal components. Annually: remove the lock and spray internally through the button holes; test all buttons and the lever operation. Refer to the Borg Servicing Guide PDF for full maintenance instructions.
The 60mm backset latch is included in the box. 50mm and 70mm backset latches are available separately to suit different door and gate frame configurations. Confirm the correct backset before installation and order the correct latch if required before starting the job - see our measuring your lock backset guide if you're not sure how to check.
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.

Gate Frame Compatibility
The 60mm latch supplied in the box needs a wide enough stile to fit. For narrow aluminium frames around 50mm x 50mm, the 28mm backset latch (BLS272000LH / BLS272000RH) is the fix. If your stile is a genuinely unusual size, our full narrow-stile options guide covers every backset, forend, and box-mounting option available, including creative fixes like scar plates and packer plates for awkward retrofits.
No - this lock is reversible on site, so it will work on either a left-hand or right-hand swinging gate without a separate handed SKU. If you're not sure what "handing" even means for your gate, our door handing explainer covers the LHI/RHI/LHO/RHO conventions used in Australia.
Marine Grade and Coastal Use
MG Pro is Borg's top marine grade tier, tested to 1,000 hours of continuous salt spray - genuinely suitable for beachfront, canal-front, and pool-adjacent installs where a standard finish would corrode within a season. Our do you actually need MG Pro guide gives the honest answer for borderline cases.
Our honest corrosion comparison puts real salt-spray hour figures for Borg, Lockwood and Carbine side by side rather than relying on marketing claims - worth a read if you're comparing brands for a genuinely harsh coastal install.
Easicode Pro and Security
Once your code is set, the plug physically prevents anyone else from initiating a new code change on the keypad - useful on a shared gate where you don't want a former tenant or contractor able to re-code the lock after their access should have ended. See our ECP change key guide for how the disabling plug interacts with the code change key.
Always keep the gate propped open and test the new code at least five times before trusting it - our before-you-start checklist and the keep the door open rule are both worth reading before you touch the keypad.
Holdback, Passage and Gate Safety
Not as a substitute for the gate's self-latching requirement - a pool gate must self-close and self-latch by law. Holdback is fine for temporary, supervised use (e.g. moving furniture through), but the gate must be returned to normal self-latching operation afterward. See our holdback and pool gates ruling for the full explanation, and our pool gate latch treatment guide for the canonical compliance rundown.
No - never. A fire door must self-latch at all times. This lock carries no fire rating and is not intended for fire door use in any configuration. See our fire door exclusion explainer for the reasoning.
Choosing the Right BL4400 Model
That's the BL4441MGPROECP - the back-to-back sibling to this product, same MG Pro ECP platform but with a keypad and lever on both sides instead of a free inside lever. See our why double-sided locks suit gates guide for when this configuration actually makes sense.
The BL4409MGPROECP is a rim-fixed slam latch on the same MG Pro ECP platform - no inside lever, just a turn-knob, and it self-latches when the gate swings shut. A genuinely different mechanism to this lever/lever product, worth comparing if your gate doesn't need lever-style hardware.
Latch Security
An anti-thrust latch has a shaped bolt with a small internal deadlocking plunger built in. Once the door or gate closes, that plunger stops the bolt being pushed straight back with a knife, card, or similar thin tool worked between the door and frame - a known weakness of plain spring latches, sometimes called "loiding." It doesn't make the latch as strong as a deadbolt, but it closes off the easiest form of manual manipulation, which is genuinely worth having on a gate or external door secured by a keypad alone rather than a second lock. See the dimensioned latch drawings in the body for exactly how the bolt and strike are shaped.
