Borg Mechanical Digital BL4401MGPro Gate Lock - Lever/Lever - Marine Grade Pro - Black
At A Glance
(Not Available)
(Fully Mechanical)
The Borg BL4401 MG Pro is a fully mechanical digital lock in a lever/lever configuration, built for external wooden and timber gates and doors. The external lever free-turns until the correct PIN is entered, then engages to retract the 60mm anti-thrust tubular latch; the inside lever is always free, so exit is immediate with no code. It shares the free-turning lever keypad of the BL3400 gate series and the BL2600 series footprint, in Marine Grade Pro construction - 316 stainless steel internals under Borg's MG Pro black marine coating, tested to 1,000 continuous hours of salt spray.
This is the standard (non-ECP) chamber: the code is set by physically arranging red coded and blue uncoded tumblers, which delivers over 8,000 combinations with a code length of 3 to 7 digits - but changing the code means taking the lock off the gate. If you expect to change codes often, the BL4401MGPROECP does the same job with on-gate Easicode Pro code change. Borg's letter soup decoded: MG Pro and ECP explained.
The BL4401 accepts gates and doors from 35mm to 80mm thick, is reversible on site for left or right hand swing, and needs no batteries, wiring or power at any point. New to battery-free keypad locks? Start with what a mechanical digital lock is and Chapter 16's gate lock guide.
Usually same day if ordered before 11am AEST (excluding weekends and Qld public holidays).
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. This is what makes the single-sided BL4401 the usual pick for pool barriers and any gate where people must be able to leave without thinking. If your gate is open-topped and a free inside handle could be reached over from outside, look at the back-to-back BL4441 instead - our double-sided gate lock guide explains the trade.
The holdback function lets the inside lever be held in the open position for free through-passage during deliveries, working hours or open-house periods, and it is removable if you never want the lock left on the latch. One important exception: on a pool barrier the holdback must not be used to defeat self-latching - the setup rules are in passage mode vs holdback mode.
316 stainless steel internal components with the 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. For what those salt spray hours actually mean, see MG Pro and ECP explained and the honest three-brand corrosion comparison.
Borg warrants corrosion resistance for 12 months from date of sale under specified conditions - a claim most external keypad locks do not make at all. Keep up the simple routine in the Borg Servicing Guide (see Additional Information below) for the best long-term result.
The BL4401MGPRO uses Borg's tumbler code system. To change the PIN the lock comes off the gate: the cover plate is removed and red coded / blue uncoded tumblers are rearranged with the supplied tweezers. Code length is adjustable from 3 to 7 digits with the spare tumblers provided, giving over 8,000 combinations. The full procedure is in the Non-ECP Code Change Instructions (PDF) and our bench method walkthrough. For on-gate code change without removal, see the BL4401MGPROECP.
Entirely mechanical. No power source, no wiring, and no battery maintenance at any point - nothing to go flat on a side gate you rarely think about.
The BL4401 MG Pro holds one active PIN at a time. There is no audit trail and no per-user codes - the honest trade-off of every mechanical digital lock, covered in the category's limitations.
For heavy duty, consider the Lockwood 3572DX, Borg BL7701, or Carbine CDL7200 - our heavy duty guide explains what separates them.
Installing on a narrow aluminium gate frame?
Planning to mount a Borg 2000 or 4000 series lock on an external gate with a 50mm x 50mm (or larger) aluminium frame?
Worried the standard 60mm latch included in the box won't fit the frame?
You're right - it won't.
To fit correctly on aluminium gate frames, you'll need the correct 28mm backset latch. It is handed, so pick the side that matches your gate - our guide to measuring your gate stile shows how to check before ordering.
28mm Latch - Left Hand (BLS272000LH) 28mm Latch - Right Hand (BLS272000RH)Add it to your cart now and avoid delays on install.

Frequently Asked Questions
Code changes require removing the lock from the gate. With the keypad face-down on a flat surface, remove the two red cover plate screws (take care - the plate has springs attached). Press and hold the C button, then use the supplied tweezers to rearrange the red coded and blue uncoded tumblers to set your new combination. Replace the cover plate, refit the lock, and test the new code several times before closing the gate. The code can be 3 to 7 digits using the spare tumblers provided - full steps in the Non-ECP Code Change Instructions (PDF). For on-gate code change, see the BL4401MGPROECP.
It is one of the models most commonly fitted to pool barrier gates: the anti-thrust latch self-latches when the gate closes, and the free inside lever means egress from the pool area is never code-controlled. Compliance still depends on the whole barrier - gate height, hinge self-closing, latch release height and shielding - so have a licensed pool safety inspector confirm the installation. The rules are laid out in keypad locks on pool gates, and if you fit the holdback, note the pool barrier setup rule.
The BL4401 MG Pro is designed for wooden and timber gates. On a narrow aluminium frame (50mm x 50mm or similar), the 60mm tubular latch will not align - you need the handed 28mm backset latch (left hand / right hand). For purpose-built metal box-section gates, consider the forend-fixing BL3400 or back-to-back BL3430 series instead - measure first with our narrow stile guide.
The BL4401MGPRO (this model) uses the tumbler code system, which offers over 8,000 combinations because the code length can be set anywhere from 3 to 7 digits. The BL4401MGPROECP uses the Easicode Pro push-button system - non-sequential (the coded buttons open the lock in any order of pressing) with over 4,000 combinations. Both are strong for residential and light commercial use; the practical difference is how the code is set and changed, and whether the lock has to come off the gate to do it. See changing codes on mechanical digital locks.
Pick by three questions. Will the code change often? If yes, go ECP (BL4401MGPROECP); if rarely, this tumbler model gives more combinations for less money. Can someone reach over the gate to the inside handle? If yes, the back-to-back BL4441 closes that gap. Is the stile too narrow or hollow to bore for a tubular latch? Then the rim-fixed BL4409 face-mounts with no boring. Chapter 16's Borg naming decoder helps too.
Additional Information
The tumbler system requires the lock off the gate for a code change - so set and confirm your code on the workbench before installing. It is far easier than removing a fitted lock for the first change. Test the new code 3 to 4 times on the bench before fitting, and record it somewhere secure - there is no key override on this model.
Monthly: clean the keypad and lever surfaces with a light spray of silicon-based lubricant (GT85 or equivalent) and wipe off the excess - never oil-based products like WD40, which attract dirt into the buttons. Annually: remove the lock, spray internally through the button holes, then test all buttons and the lever. Full procedure in the Borg Servicing Guide (PDF).
The 60mm backset tubular latch is in the box; 50mm and 70mm backsets are available separately, and 50mm aluminium frames need the handed 28mm latch instead. Confirm the correct backset before installation - our stile measuring guide takes two minutes and saves a second site visit. Note the handed 28mm latches are not field-reversible - see understanding door handing.
The BL4401 uses lever handles on both sides rather than a knob. A lever needs less grip force and torque, which suits heavier or outward-opening gates and users who find a knob difficult to turn. For a knob-style keypad in the same marine grade family, see the Borg BL2601 MG Pro.
The matching spare keypad for this lock is the BL4401KMGPRO (tumbler chamber, like this lock). The BL4401KMGPROECP is the Easicode Pro keypad for the same platform - a path to on-gate code change. The letters matter: MG Pro and ECP explained decodes Borg's naming in two minutes.
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, and the lock must not be dismantled beyond the documented code change procedure - doing so will invalidate the warranty.

Borg BL4401 MG Pro - FAQ and Owner's Guide
Everything below is here to help you choose, install, code and live with the BL4401 MG Pro gate lock. For the wider category, see Chapter 16 - Mechanical Digital Locks in the Buyer's Guide.
Choosing the Right BL4400
MG Pro is Borg's Marine Grade Pro tier - 316 stainless internals, MG Pro black marine coating, 1,000 hour salt spray testing. ECP (Easicode Pro) is the on-gate code change system, and this model deliberately does not have it: it uses the standard tumbler chamber instead, which trades code-change convenience for a higher combination count (8,000+ vs 4,000+) and a lower price. The full decoder ring is in MG Pro and ECP explained and Chapter 16's Borg naming guide.
No. If the gate is open-topped and the free inside lever is within reach from outside, the keypad is defeated in seconds. That situation is exactly what the back-to-back BL4441 exists for - keypads both sides, code required in both directions. The trade-off (no free egress) is explained in the double-sided gate lock guide.
Two paths. If the frame is a 50mm aluminium section, keep this lock and swap to the handed 28mm backset latch (LH / RH). If boring the stile is off the table entirely, the rim-fixed BL4409 slam latch face-mounts with no boring at all. The four narrow-stile answers compare every option.
Not recommended - this platform is rated light to medium duty. High-traffic doors chew through light-duty clutching mechanisms. Step up to the Lockwood 3572DX, the Borg BL7701 or the Carbine CDL7200 - the differences are in the heavy duty commercial guide.
Codes and the Tumbler System
Behind the keypad sits a chamber of tumblers - red ones are coded (part of your combination), blue ones are not. Rearranging which positions hold red tumblers sets the code, and because you can run anywhere from 3 to 7 coded digits, the combination space exceeds 8,000. It is the same shared bench method used across Borg's standard chambers - our bench method walkthrough shows it step by step with realistic times.
There is no key override, so a forgotten code with the gate closed means locksmith attendance or lock removal. Record the code securely when you set it, and always test a new code several times with the gate open. On the plus side, the free inside lever means you can never be locked IN - egress is always available.
For casual entry control, yes - over 8,000 combinations defeats guessing, and the anti-thrust latch resists carding. But be honest about the limits: one code shared by everyone, no audit trail, no wrong-attempt lockout, and anyone who learns the code keeps it until you do a bench change. If you need per-user codes, schedules or logs, that is electronic lock territory - the trade-offs are covered in the honest limitations.
Coastal Environment and Maintenance
Marine Grade Pro is Borg's top corrosion tier: 316 stainless steel internals under the MG Pro coating, tested to 1,000 continuous hours of neutral salt spray - many external-grade locks test to a fraction of that. On beachfront, canal-front and salt-air installs the difference is the whole game: see what the salt spray numbers mean and the honest three-brand corrosion comparison.
Monthly, spray the keypad and levers lightly with a silicon-based lubricant such as GT85 and wipe off the excess - never an oil-based product like WD40, which attracts dirt into the buttons. Annually, take the lock off, spray internally through the button holes, refit and cycle every button. Ten minutes a year is the difference between a lock that lasts and one that sticks - full steps in the Borg Servicing Guide (PDF).
Yes - Borg warrants corrosion resistance for 12 months from date of sale under specified conditions, alongside the standard 12 month mechanical warranty. Most lock brands exclude coastal corrosion outright, so this is worth noting. Bought from Terry's? We manage the claim with the Australian distributor for you.
Installation and Fit
35mm to 80mm - the supplied fixing screws and the 8mm flat bladed sprung spindle cover that range. If your gate falls outside it, talk to Terry before ordering rather than improvising fixings. The self-latching action relies on a square-hung gate, so fix any hinge sag before install day.
The lock itself is reversible on site for left or right hand swing, so a re-hung gate is not a problem. The exception is the 28mm narrow-stile latch for aluminium frames, which is handed and not field-reversible - pick left or right hand at order time. Unsure which is which? See understanding door handing in Australia.
Close to it. The BL4400 series shares the BL2600 footprint and uses the free-turning lever keypad of the BL3400 gate series, so an installer familiar with either platform will recognise the drilling pattern and fitting sequence. The tubular latch bores like any 60mm backset latch.
Usually not. Magnetic gate latches paired with mechanical keypads have a high callback rate - misalignment and gate sag cause the magnet to grab before the keypad releases. If your stile genuinely cannot take the 60mm or 28mm latch, read why magnetic latches can be problematic before ordering the TML25DGT, and talk to Terry.
Spares and Alternatives
Yes - that is one of the quiet advantages of this range over hardware-store imports. The BL4401KMGPRO spare keypad is the matching tumbler-chamber unit for this lock. Latches, fixing packs and post kits are all stocked separately too - see the spare parts argument.
The BL4401KMGPROECP Easicode Pro keypad fits the same BL4400 platform, giving you the on-gate code change of the ECP models without replacing the whole lock - ask Terry to confirm fit for your unit before ordering. If you are still choosing, buying the complete ECP lock up front is the cleaner path.
Within Borg, the knob-handed BL2601 MG Pro suits standard doors, and the metal-gate BL3400 MG Pro ECP is purpose-built for box-section frames. Chapter 16's three-brand comparison ranges wider across Lockwood and Carbine.
