PIN CodeThe Borg BL4401MGPROECP (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 salt spray testing to 1,000 hours 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.

Installing on a Narrow Aluminium Gate Frame?
This lock ships standard with a 60mm backset tubular latch. If you're mounting on an external gate with a 50mm x 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 - the 28mm latch is handed and cannot be reversed, so confirm which way the gate opens. 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.

Free Egress - Inside Lever Always Opens
No code is ever needed to get out: the inside lever turns freely at all times, and the anti-thrust latch self-latches when the gate closes behind you - the configuration to choose wherever people must be able to leave without thinking. On a pool barrier gate, a compliant self-latching gate latch still has to do the barrier's job (see the FAQ). If your gate is open-topped and a free inside handle could be reached over from outside, look at the back-to-back BL4441MGPROECP instead - our double-sided gate lock guide explains the trade.

Optional Holdback - Free Passage When You Want It
The holdback function lets the inside lever be held in the open position for free through-passage - handy for deliveries, working hours or moving gear - and it is removable if you never want the lock left on the latch. On a pool barrier gate, only use holdback while a compliant self-latching gate latch (such as a MagnaLatch) is fitted and doing the barrier's self-latching job - this lock's own latch never does that job. Never rely on holdback for a fire or egress door. The mode is explained in passage mode vs holdback mode.

Marine Grade Pro - 316 Stainless Steel - 1,000 Hour Salt Spray Tested
316 stainless steel internal components with MG Pro black marine external grade coating. Salt spray tested to 1,000 continuous hours - a laboratory cabinet result (the finish held up that long in continuous salt fog), not a promise of service life on the coast. 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.

What Is an Anti-Thrust Tubular Latch?
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.

Easicode Pro - On-Door/Gate Code Change
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the BL4401MGPROECP and the BL4401MGPRO?
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 lock to be removed and the code pieces 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.

How do I change the PIN code?
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.

Does the lock work on aluminium gate frames?
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. The handed 28mm backset 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 a pool gate in Queensland?
The lock's job is access control, not the barrier's self-latching function. Our site-wide position is straightforward: a bolt-format lock is never allowed on a pool barrier gate because a bolt does not secure anything until it is thrown, but a self-latching latch lock like this one is fine so long as a genuinely compliant self-latching gate latch (such as a MagnaLatch) is doing the barrier's self-latching job. The inside lever is always free for egress. Holdback is only acceptable on a pool barrier gate while that compliant gate latch is fitted and doing the self-latching - this lock's own holdback is an access-control convenience, not a barrier safety feature (see holdback on pool barrier gates). See the full pool safety barrier gate treatment in our latch vs bolt guide, and get final sign-off from a licensed pool safety inspector before you specify any lock for a pool gate.

What does "anti-thrust tubular latch" actually mean?
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
Lever vs Knob - Why It Matters
The BL4401 uses lever handles on both sides rather than the knob used on the BL2600 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 knob-operated Borg BL2601 MG Pro in the Borg range.

Maintenance:
Monthly: wipe the keypad, both levers and the exposed latch with a light spray of silicon-based lubricant (such as GT85) and remove the excess with a soft cloth. Do not use oil-based lubricants such as WD-40 - they attract dirt and wear down internal parts over time. Annually: remove the lock from the gate, spray the inside through the code piece holes on the reverse of the keypad with silicon-based lubricant, spray all fixings, accessories and the latch with silicon-based lubricant, then press each button and operate both levers several times to confirm smooth operation. The MG Pro coating resists salt attack; it does not exempt the lock from this care. Full steps are in the Borg Lock Servicing Guide (PDF), and keeping to this routine keeps the corrosion warranty conditions met.

Gate Frame Compatibility
My gate frame is narrower than 60mm - what are my options?
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.

Do I need to know my gate's handing before ordering?
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
How close to the coast can this actually go?
MG Pro is Borg's top marine grade tier, salt spray tested to 1,000 continuous hours - 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.

How does Borg's MG Pro compare to other brands' marine finishes?
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
What's the point of the code change disabling plug?
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.

See our ECP change key guide for how the disabling plug interacts with the code change key.
What should I check before I lock myself out during a code change?
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
Can I use the holdback function on a pool gate?
Only while a compliant self-latching gate latch (such as a MagnaLatch) is fitted and doing the barrier's self-latching job - this lock's holdback is an access-control convenience, not a barrier safety feature, and its own latch never does the barrier's job. See our holdback and pool gates ruling for the full explanation, and our pool gate latch treatment guide for the canonical compliance rundown.

Can holdback be engaged on a fire door?
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
I need code entry from both sides of the gate - which model do I want?
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.

What if I don't need a lever at all - just a simple slam-shut gate latch?
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
What does "anti-thrust tubular latch" actually mean, and does it matter?
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.
