Lever Face - No Code 
Key Override(Not Fitted)
The Borg BL2901SCECP is a fully mechanical digital lock from the Borg BL2900 ECP series, purpose-built for managed care environments where ligature risk must be controlled. It pairs an anti-ligature knob on the keypad face with a standard lever handle on the opposite face. Because it is a mechanical digital lock, it needs no batteries, no mains power and no electronics - every mechanism is driven entirely by the keypad button actions. It accepts a single PIN from over 4,000 possible combinations and carries Borg's EasiCode Pro on-door code change system.
The two-sided design is the key to how this lock works in managed care settings. The keypad face (keypad plus anti-ligature knob) faces the patient or at-risk occupant. The anti-ligature knob has a smooth, rounded profile with no protrusions or attachment points that could support a ligature, and it only turns after the correct PIN has been entered. The lever face operates freely without a code and faces the staff or controlled side of the door.
In a typical mental health facility patient room, the keypad and anti-ligature knob face into the room: a care worker enters freely using the corridor-side lever, and exits by entering the PIN and turning the knob from inside. The occupant sees only the smooth knob and cannot operate the lock without the PIN. In a restricted service area - a cleaners cupboard, nurses station or ward kitchen - the orientation reverses: the anti-ligature keypad face addresses the common corridor where patients move freely, and the lever sits inside the room so staff exit without a code. The lock is cycle tested to 50,000 operations, rated for internal light to medium use, suits timber and composite doors 35-54mm thick, and is not weather resistant or rated for external installation.

Anti-Ligature Knob - Patient-Facing Side
The BL2901SCECP has an anti-ligature knob on the keypad face. The smooth, rounded knob eliminates protrusions, gaps and attachment points that could support a ligature. This face installs toward the at-risk occupant - the patient room interior in a mental health facility, or the common corridor in a restricted service area such as a cleaners cupboard. The opposite face carries a standard lever, accessible to staff only. Borg also makes an anti-ligature external gate lock - the BL3175 back-to-back gate lock with key override - for secure outdoor areas in the same facilities.

Key Features
- Fully mechanical operation - no batteries, no electronics and no mains power required.
- Keypad face: anti-ligature knob with numbered keypad - smooth rounded knob profile, no ligature attachment points; the knob operates only after the correct PIN is entered.
- Lever face: standard lever handle - operates freely without a code; installed on the staff-accessible side.
- Keypad face installs toward the at-risk occupant; lever face installs toward the staff or controlled side - see the orientation notes in Additional Information.
- EasiCode Pro on-door code change - the code updates while the lock stays fitted to the door, without tools.
- No mechanical key override - entry via PIN on the keypad face or freely via the lever face; no cylinder or keyway is fitted. If a key override is required, the BL2701SCECP is the keyed sibling.

- Code change block pin included - inserted, it disables the external code change function entirely, preventing keypad-side code changes without lock removal.
Access Methods
App / Bluetooth Changing the Code - EasiCode Pro
EasiCode Pro is Borg's on-door code change system. With the door open and the current code known, the change takes about 30 seconds: enter the existing code, insert the code change key into the hole in the * button, press C to clear, enter the new code, release the key and press C to set. Test the new code five times with the door open before closing it. The full 8-step procedure - including spindle fitting notes - is in the EasiCode Pro Instructions V4 (PDF), and our blog walks through the same procedure with photos: the ECP steps, and how long each method really takes.
In managed care environments this matters operationally: codes rotate at every change of room occupant, so a 30-second on-door change instead of a 10-15 minute bench strip-down is the difference between codes actually being rotated and codes staying stale. A spare EasiCode change key (BL2000ECPCK) is worth keeping at the nurses station - see why the change key matters.
Code Lockdown - the Block Pin
The included block pin has a second job: inserted permanently, it disables the external code change function entirely, so the code cannot be changed at the keypad without removing the lock. Useful where only authorised maintenance staff may change codes.

Accessories and Spare Parts
The BL2901SCECP sits on Borg's 2000-series service-part platform, and Terry's stocks the parts that keep these locks in service for decades - one reason a genuine Borg outlasts hardware store imitations. Because this is the anti-ligature model, confirm any part that touches the keypad or knob assembly with Terry's before ordering.
Spare Keypad Warning - Anti-Ligature Installations
The BL2201KSCECP replacement keypad carries a standard knob, not the smooth anti-ligature knob fitted to this lock. Substituting it on an anti-ligature installation removes the very protection the BL2901 is specified for. No anti-ligature keypad-only spare is listed in the catalogue - if the keypad assembly on a BL2901 needs replacing, contact Terry's to source the correct anti-ligature part before ordering anything else.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a lock with a lever on one side qualify as anti-ligature?
The lever installs on the staff-accessible side - not the side the at-risk person can reach. In a mental health patient room, the keypad and anti-ligature knob face into the room: the patient sees only the smooth, rounded knob, with no protrusions or gaps that could support a ligature, while the lever sits on the corridor side for care workers. In a restricted service area such as a cleaners cupboard, the orientation reverses - the anti-ligature keypad face addresses the common corridor where patients move, and the lever is inside the room for staff.

How does a care worker enter and exit a patient room?
In a patient room installation the lever faces the corridor. A care worker enters by operating the lever - no code required. To exit, the care worker enters the PIN on the keypad and turns the anti-ligature knob from inside the room. The occupant cannot operate the lock without the PIN and cannot attach anything to the smooth knob.

Does the BL2901SCECP have a mechanical key override?
No. There is no cylinder, keyway or key override on this model - entry is by PIN on the keypad face, or freely via the lever face. If your facility requires a key override, the BL2701SCECP pairs the same ECP chamber with a Silca YA5 6-pin cylinder (note: standard knob, not anti-ligature).

Does this lock need batteries or mains power?
No. The BL2901SCECP is a fully mechanical digital lock - every internal mechanism is driven by the physical action of the keypad buttons. No electricity, batteries or wiring at any point, which is exactly why the platform suits institutional doors: nothing to flatten, corrupt or reboot. For the broader picture, see what a mechanical digital lock is and Chapter 10 - Brand Profiles.

Additional Information
Anti-Ligature Design - Specifier Notes:
The BL2901SCECP has an anti-ligature knob on the keypad face only. The lever face carries a standard lever and is not an anti-ligature surface. The lock must be installed so the keypad face (anti-ligature knob) addresses the at-risk occupant and the lever face addresses the staff or controlled side. Anti-ligature hardware requirements vary by facility type and applicable standards - confirm the BL2901SCECP meets the specific ligature-risk classification required before ordering, and assess all other hardware in the same room or corridor (hinges, closers, strike plates, furniture) for ligature compliance. Confirm installation orientation with the facility's clinical or safety team before proceeding. Broader access-hardware guidance for disability and managed housing is in the DDA options section of our heavy duty guide.

EasiCode Pro - How the Code Change Works:
EasiCode Pro replaces the older method of removing tumblers from the back of the keypad - a process that took 10 to 15 minutes at a bench with the lock off the door. With EasiCode Pro the code changes in approximately 30 seconds using the dedicated button and change key while the lock stays fitted. In managed care environments this lets staff rotate codes between occupants without a maintenance call-out. The same block pin can also be inserted to permanently disable the external code change function - useful where the code must be locked down to authorised personnel only. See the Buyer's Guide section on code changing for how ECP compares with bench methods across the range.

Anti-Thrust Deadlocking Latch - Installation Note:
The BL2901 uses a deadlocking tubular latch with an anti-thrust pin. When the door closes fully, the latch bolt automatically deadlocks - preventing forced retraction with a card or flexible tool. For the deadlocking function to engage reliably, the strike plate must be correctly aligned and the latch bolt must fully seat into the strike. Confirm measurements with our guide to measuring your lock backset before drilling, and see when a latch is the right choice.

Code Security - How Borg Mechanical Codes Work:
The keypad has 12 coded buttons providing over 4,000 unique combinations, with a single active code at any time. On a Borg mechanical keypad the order of presses does not matter - only the combination of buttons pressed counts. In managed facilities, change the code when staff access lists change, after any suspected compromise, and at every change of room occupant. Avoid predictable single-row combinations. The block pin can prevent unauthorised code changes at the keypad, and the honest limitations of a single-code platform are covered in our mechanical digital lock explainer.

Borg BL2901SCECP - FAQ, Specifier and Owner's Guide
Everything below helps you specify, install, operate and service the BL2901SCECP anti-ligature lock. For general mechanical digital lock questions see Buyer's Guide Chapter 16, and for the Borg brand story see Chapter 10 - Brand Profiles.
Anti-Ligature and Managed Environments
What does anti-ligature mean, and why is it specified?
Anti-ligature hardware eliminates the surfaces, gaps and protrusions that could allow a cord, rope, sheet or other material to be attached and support a load. In environments where occupants may be at risk of self-harm - mental health wards, secure residential units, correctional facilities and some disability housing - all door hardware within reach of the at-risk person must meet the facility's ligature-risk requirements. The BL2901SCECP achieves this with a smooth, rounded anti-ligature knob on the patient-facing side.

Is the BL2901SCECP certified to a specific anti-ligature standard?
Borg does not publish a test-standard certification for this model, and ligature-risk classifications differ between health networks, correctional systems and NDIS SDA design categories. Treat the BL2901SCECP as anti-ligature by design (smooth knob, no attachment points) and confirm with your facility's clinical or safety team that the design meets the specific classification your project is being assessed against before ordering.

The lock is anti-ligature - what about the rest of the door?
An anti-ligature lock on a door with a standard closer, protruding hinges or a coat hook defeats the purpose. Assess every item of hardware in the at-risk person's reach - hinges, closers, strike plates, furniture, even the door top edge - against the same requirement. Terry's can advise on complete anti-ligature door hardware packages - contact the team for a consultation.

Is there an anti-ligature option for external gates and courtyards?
Yes - secure outdoor areas in the same facilities are usually gated, and Borg's BL3175 back-to-back keypad gate lock with key override covers that application. For the wider hardware picture in disability and managed housing, see our NDIS and disability housing guide.

Operation and Orientation
Which way around does the lock install?
The keypad face (anti-ligature knob) always addresses the at-risk occupant; the lever face always addresses the staff or controlled side. Patient room: keypad face into the room, lever to the corridor. Restricted service area (cleaners cupboard, nurses station, ward kitchen): keypad face to the common corridor, lever inside the room. Confirm the orientation with the facility's clinical or safety team before drilling - reversing it on site later means new door prep.

Confirm the orientation with the facility's clinical or safety team before drilling - reversing it on site later means new door prep.
Does egress require a code?
It depends on the orientation. From the lever face, egress is always free - no code. From the keypad face, operating the door requires the PIN; that is the controlled behaviour the lock is specified for. Where a door forms part of a required exit path, the facility's fire and egress strategy must account for this - egress compliance is a building-level decision, not a lock feature, so confirm it with your certifier before specifying.

What does the holdback do, and can it be removed?
The holdback on the lever face holds the latch retracted so the door swings freely - useful during cleaning rounds, meal service or moves. It is removable, and in many managed environments it should be removed so a door can never be accidentally left in free passage. The difference between holdback and true passage mode is explained in passage mode vs holdback mode.

The difference between holdback and true passage mode is explained in passage mode vs holdback mode.
What stops a patient carding the latch open?
The latch is a deadlocking tubular type with an anti-thrust pin: when the door closes fully and the bolt seats in the strike, the latch deadlocks and cannot be forced back with a card or flexible tool. This only works if the strike is aligned so the bolt fully seats - see the installation note on the main page and our self-latching explainer.

Codes and EasiCode Pro
How often should the code be changed in a care facility?
At every change of room occupant, whenever the staff access list changes, and immediately after any suspected compromise. Because EasiCode Pro changes the code on the door in about 30 seconds, there is no operational excuse for stale codes - the full procedure with photos is here.

Does the order of button presses matter?
No. On a Borg mechanical keypad only the combination of buttons pressed counts, not the sequence. That is inherent to how mechanical coding chambers work, and it is why you should avoid single-row or obviously patterned combinations. The trade-offs of a single-code platform are covered honestly in our explainer's limitations section.

Can I stop anyone changing the code at the keypad?
Yes - insert the supplied block pin permanently and the external code change function is disabled entirely. The code can then only be changed by authorised personnel with physical access to the lock internals. This lockdown option is unique to the ECP platform and is well suited to facilities where code control sits with a security manager.

What happens if the code is lost?
A lost code on a mechanical lock cannot be recovered at the keypad. Recovery requires removing the lock and reading the coding chamber at the bench - a locksmith task. Keep the current code recorded in your facility's key register, and keep a spare EasiCode change key on site - see why the change key matters.

Should this be professionally installed?
In a clinical or correctional environment, yes - orientation, strike alignment for the deadlocking function, and holdback policy all need to be right the first time. Terry's offers advice and installation across the Gold Coast, and the on-door code change spindle-fitting notes are in the EasiCode Pro Instructions V4 (PDF).

Can I fit a standard replacement keypad to this lock?
Do not substitute the standard BL2201KSCECP keypad on an anti-ligature installation - it carries a standard knob and removes the protection this lock is specified for. No anti-ligature keypad-only spare is listed in the catalogue; contact Terry's to source the correct part.

How should the lock be maintained?
Follow the Borg Lock Servicing Guide (PDF) - periodic cleaning and the recommended lubricant schedule keep the buttons and chamber free over the 50,000-cycle life. Never dismantle the lock body itself: dismantling voids the 12-month warranty, and coding-chamber work belongs at a locksmith's bench.

How does Borg compare with Lockwood and Carbine on these doors?
All three make credible mechanical digital locks; the differences are in duty rating, latch/mortice options and code-change method. Borg's edge here is the anti-ligature model itself - neither of the other two offers a direct equivalent in our range. The full three-brand comparison is in Lockwood vs Borg vs Carbine, and commercial-grade selection guidance is in Chapter 16 - commercial applications.
