Borg BL2702SCECP Mechanical Digital Lock - 28mm Ali-Latch - Easicode Pro - Key Override - Satin Chrome
At A Glance
The Borg BL2702SCECP is a fully mechanical digital lock from the Borg BL2700 ECP series, fitted with a 28mm aluminium mortice ali-latch in place of a standard 60mm tubular latch. The shorter 28mm backset is built for internal doors with a narrow stile - aluminium-framed doors, slimline timber doors, and similar - where a full-depth latch will not fit, and the ali-latch body is compatible with electric strike release systems, letting the door be released remotely without operating the inside handle. No batteries, no mains power and no electronics are involved anywhere in the mechanism - every function is driven by the physical action of the keypad buttons.
The lock includes Borg's Easicode Pro on-door code change system and a Silca YA5 6-pin mechanical key override cylinder. The inside handle is a free-turning knob with a removable holdback function for free passage. Over 4,000 unique code combinations are available, with a single active code at any time and a code change block pin supplied to disable external code changing entirely if required.
Cycle tested to 100,000 operations, the BL2702SCECP is rated for internal light to medium use on timber and composite doors 35-54mm thick - office doors, bathroom doors, server rooms, and any narrow-stile access point where a standard 60mm lock will not fit. It is one of seven models in the Borg BL2700/BL2000 ECP family, and the dedicated narrow-stile choice in Borg's mechanical digital range - see our guide on short-backset and narrow-stile lock options if you are working out whether a standard or 28mm lock suits your door or gate post.
Usually ships same day if ordered before 11am AEST (excludes weekends and Queensland public holidays).
Every function - keypad entry, code change, key override - is driven by the physical action of the keypad and key. There is nothing to charge, no batteries to replace, and no electronics to fail.
The access code is changed directly on the installed lock in around 30 seconds, using the dedicated code-change button - no tools, no lock removal, no programming device. See our guide on changing codes on Borg Easicode Pro locks for the full step-by-step, or read more on what MG Pro and ECP actually mean on a Borg lock.
Supplied with a Silca YA5 6-pin key override cylinder and 2 keys, giving a mechanical way in if the code is ever forgotten. Keyed-alike ordering is available on request (minimum order of 2 locks) for installations that need one key across multiple doors - contact us when placing your order to arrange it.
The 28mm aluminium mortice ali-latch is a shorter-backset alternative to Borg's standard 60mm tubular latch, purpose-built for narrow door stiles and aluminium-framed doors. Its latch geometry is compatible with electric strike release systems, allowing the door to be released remotely - by an intercom, access control reader, or timer - without operating the inside handle. Confirm your chosen electric strike is rated for this latch's face plate and bolt dimensions (see Dimensions) before ordering.
The BL2702SCECP is built for internal residential and light commercial doors. For high-traffic commercial or heavy-duty applications, consider the Lockwood 3572DX, Borg BL7701 Heavy Duty, or Carbine CDL7100SC-HD. See our guide on heavy duty commercial mechanical digital locks for the full comparison.

Satin Chrome
(This Product)
STK BL2702SCECP
Finish selection does not affect functionality, compliance, or performance. Satin Chrome is the only confirmed finish currently listed for the BL2702SCECP - the sister BL2701 lock (60mm backset, no ali-latch) is also available in Marine Grade Pro Black, see Item Code Family.
BL2000 / BL2700 Series - Item Code Family
All models below share the 2000-platform keypad. They differ in code change (Easicode Pro on the door, or On The Bench), latch/bolt type, key override and holdback.

Accessories and Spares
No separate spare external keypad unit is currently catalogued for the BL2702SCECP - the closest replacement path is the complete external keypad assembly. Contact us if you need a keypad-only spare and we will confirm current availability.
Full Specifications
Dimensions
The 28mm ali-latch is a handed part and cannot be reversed on site, so confirm left-hand or right-hand at the time of order. The left and right hand latches are separate parts, sold separately as spares (BLS272000LH and BLS272000RH - see Accessories and Spares). Our door handing guide explains how to work out which one your door needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
An ali-latch (aluminium mortice latch) is a compact latch body built for doors where the stile is too narrow for a standard 60mm tubular latch. The 28mm backset places the spindle hole closer to the door edge, suiting aluminium-framed doors and slimline timber doors. The ali-latch body is also compatible with electric strike release systems, which a standard tubular latch is not. See our guide on measuring your lock backset if you are unsure which size your door needs.
An electric strike is a strike plate with an electrically operated keeper that can release the latch without the door being operated from the inside. When the strike is triggered - by an intercom button, access control reader, or timer - the latch bolt is released and the door can be pushed open. The PIN code on the BL2702SCECP still controls normal keypad entry; the electric strike is an additional remote-release path. Confirm the strike you are pairing is rated for this latch's face plate and bolt dimensions (see Dimensions) before ordering.
No - the 28mm ali-latch is handed and cannot be reversed on site, so confirm left-hand or right-hand at the time of order. The left and right hand latches are separate parts, sold separately as spares (BLS272000LH and BLS272000RH). If you are not certain which way your door swings, see our door handing guide before ordering.
Yes. Keyed-alike ordering is available for the BL2702SCECP with a minimum order of 2 locks, so a single key operates the override cylinders across multiple doors. Contact us when placing your order to specify keyed-alike requirements.
Possibly. The BL2702's keypad projects 56.3mm from the door surface due to the key cylinder housing - noticeably more than a standard tubular latch model. If your door has a security screen or flyscreen, confirm at least 60mm of clearance between the main door face and the closed screen door before ordering. See our guide on checking screen door clearance.
Additional Information
The BL2702's ali-latch is designed to pair with electric strikes. For reliable release, the strike must be matched to the latch body dimensions (face plate 96mm x 26mm, latch projection 15.5mm) and properly aligned - misalignment prevents reliable latch engagement and causes premature wear. The latch carries a nylon insert to reduce wear at the strike interface. See our guide on measuring your lock backset before drilling.
Easicode Pro lets the access code be changed at any time while the lock stays installed, using the dedicated button and the supplied block pin - the process takes around 30 seconds. The block pin can also be fitted permanently to disable the external code-change function, so no one can change the code at the keypad without removing the lock. See our full walkthrough on changing codes on Borg Easicode Pro locks.
On narrow posts and stiles, some installers reach for a magnetic latch instead of a mechanical one. Borg's own field data points the other way - see our guide on why magnetic gate latches can be problematic for the full explanation of why a correctly-sized mechanical latch, like the 28mm ali-latch on this lock, is the more reliable narrow-stile fix.
The lock is supplied keyed to differ as standard. Keyed-alike ordering is available (minimum 2 locks) where a single key must operate the override cylinders on multiple doors - specify this at the time of order, since cylinders cannot be rekeyed in the field without disassembly. If a master-keyed or restricted profile is required, confirm YA5-compatible cylinder availability with your locksmith before ordering.
Warranty
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. Proof of purchase required for all claims.

Borg BL2702SCECP - FAQ, Setup and Owner's Guide
Everything below is specific to the BL2702SCECP. For the wider mechanical digital lock category, see our Mechanical Digital Locks Buyer's Guide chapter and the Changing Codes on Mechanical Digital Locks guide.
Fit and Compatibility
Measure your door's backset - the distance from the door edge to the centre of the spindle hole. If the existing hole or stile only allows around 25-30mm, a standard 60mm lock will not physically fit and a short-backset model like the BL2702SCECP is the fix. See our full backset measuring guide, or our broader narrow-stile options guide if you are working on a gate post rather than a door.
Not necessarily. If you want to keep the Lockwood 3582 already in the door, the Borg BL3582KOR key override adaptor plate (09351500) fits a Borg 2000 or 4000 Series keypad to it and keeps key override. Replacing the 3582 with this complete lock is the other route - the FPBLS27CONV face plate conversion adapts this lock's 28mm latch face plate to the 3582 cut-out in the door edge. Send us a photo of the existing lock and we will confirm which route suits your door.
This listing is built and rated for internal residential and light-commercial doors, not gates - it carries no outdoor weather rating or gate-specific hardware. If you need a narrow-stile gate lock, Borg's dedicated BL3100-BL3400 gate lock series is purpose-built for aluminium and steel gate posts with forend fixing. See our Digital Mechanical Locks range for the full gate lineup.
They share the same Easicode Pro keypad and holdback function, and both have a key override. The main difference is the latch: the BL2701SCECP uses a standard 60mm tubular latch, while the BL2702SCECP uses the 28mm ali-latch for narrow stiles and electric strike compatibility. If your door takes a standard 60mm latch, the BL2701SCECP is the simpler, non-handed option. See Item Code Family for the full comparison.
No claim of weather resistance is made for this listing - it is specified as an internal door lock only. If you need a narrow-stile lock for a covered external or gate application, ask us about the Marine Grade Pro options in the Borg range before ordering, rather than assuming this model will tolerate weather exposure.
Code, Keys and Servicing
Over 4,000 possible PIN combinations gives a far larger keyspace than the 3-4 digit codes on many consumer keypads, while Easicode Pro's on-door change means the active code can be rotated in seconds whenever staff or tenants change. Combined with the Silca YA5 key override as a mechanical fallback, this is standard commercial-grade practice for a light-duty internal keypad lock.
Not as a discrete keypad-only SKU at this time - see Accessories and Spares for what is currently catalogued (spare latches, code pieces, gaskets and spindles). If your external keypad assembly needs replacing, contact us and we will confirm current availability rather than guess.
The 12-month Borg warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, and does not extend to damage from improper installation. The 28mm latch is handed and cannot be reversed, so if your door needs the other hand, order the matching spare latch (BLS272000LH or BLS272000RH) rather than modifying the one supplied, or ask a locksmith to fit it.
With both credentials lost, entry requires a locksmith to pick or drill the lock - there is no factory backdoor or reset code. Keeping the key override cylinder and a written code record in a safe place avoids this scenario; keyed-alike ordering (see FAQ) can also simplify key management across multiple doors on the one property.
