When the new lock will not cover the holes and marks the old hardware has left on the door. Replacing a KNK entrance set with a Borg 5000 Series lock is the job this pack is sold for. When you need a scar plate walks through the common situations, and what a scar plate is covers the basics.

Scar plates are for replacing a KNK entrance set with a Borg lock. If you are keeping a Lockwood 3572 or 3582 mortice lock and fitting a Borg 5000 Series keypad to it, order a 5000 Series adaptor kit instead: BL50013572K for the 3572, BL50013572KBTB for the 3572 with a keypad on each side of the door, or BL50013582K for the 3582 on outward-opening doors only. The whole range is in the item code family.
Additional Information
- Choose the lock first: the plates are sold for the lock change itself, so settle on the Borg 5000 Series lock and order the plates with it. See which mechanical digital lock to choose and browse the locks in Digital Mechanical Locks.
- Code changing is a lock decision: the plates make no difference to how the code is changed. Easicode Pro (ECP) locks such as the BL5001MGPROECP change on the door (changing codes on Borg ECP locks); other Borg locks change On The Bench (standard Borg code changes). If you expect to re-code, even once a year, choose an ECP lock - what ECP means.
- Spares and support: these plates belong to the Borg 5000 Series accessory range, alongside the Lockwood adaptor kits and the keypad-only units - see why spare parts and support matter and the retrofit ecosystem.
- Professional fitting: the plates go on as part of the lock change. If you would rather not do it yourself, see advice and installation, our professional supply and installation service or a qualified locksmith recommendation, and when DIY is appropriate.
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 SPBL5001MB Black Scar Plates - FAQ, Fitting and Buying Guide
Questions buyers ask about the black Borg 5000 Series scar plates. For the wider picture, see what a mechanical digital lock is in Ch 16 and the installation questions in our Smart Lock FAQ (Ch 13).
Finish and Material
We cannot promise an exact shade match to a particular lock. Black is the finish on this listing, and black Borg 5000 Series models we list these plates for include the BL5001MGPROECP, BL5051MGPROECP and BL5401DDAMGPROECP. If the match matters, ask us before ordering, or choose the stainless steel SPBL5001 if that suits the lock better.
No. Both are stainless steel plates - SPBL5001MB in a black finish and SPBL5001 in stainless steel. For how scar plate materials compare in general, see scar plate materials and finishes.
Choosing the Right Plate
Start with the Borg plate: these plates are sold for Borg 5000 Series locks. A generic plate has to cover the old holes and still suit the new lock, which is worth checking before you buy - see our brand-by-brand scar plate guide and the scar plate FAQ.
No - this pack suits Borg 5000 Series locks. For a Lockwood 530 Digital, the plate is BDS 09351112; for Brava Urban and Lockwood 530 and 930 series locksets, it is BDS 09351450. You can browse more plates in the Scar & Adaptor Plates category.
Fire Doors and Gates
Ask us first - we cannot confirm a fire rating for these plates. Scar plates on fire doors explains what to check, and how to identify a fire door helps if you are not sure whether your door is one.
Sometimes, as a custom workshop job rather than the job this pack is sold for. Scar plates on narrow gate stiles shows the approach, and measuring the stile comes first - talk to us before planning a gate around these plates.
