SPBL5001 is a pack of two stainless steel scar plates for Borg 5000 Series mechanical digital locks.

Additional Information
- Keeping a Lockwood mortice lock instead: these plates are for replacing a KNK entrance set. To keep a Lockwood 3572 mortice lock and fit a Borg 5000 Series keypad to it, use the BL50013572K adaptor kit, or the back-to-back BL50013572KBTB; for a Lockwood 3582 mortice lock on an outward-opening door, use BL50013582K. See the retrofit ecosystem for how these conversions fit together.
- Other locks, other plates: SPBL5001 is the Borg 5000 Series plate. The BDS plates are 09351112 for the Lockwood 530 Digital and 09351450 for Brava Urban and Lockwood 530 and 930 series locksets; our brand-by-brand scar plate guide covers the rest.
- Fitting: replacing an entrance set with a Borg lock is door hardware work. Chapter 12 sets out when DIY is appropriate and when it is not. We offer advice and installation (see our supply and installation service), and our team can recommend a qualified locksmith.

Answers to the questions we are asked about SPBL5001, from choosing the right plate to planning and fitting the job. For the wider picture, see Chapter 16 - Mechanical Digital Locks and Chapter 13 - Smart Lock FAQ in our Buyer's Guide.
Choosing the Right Plate
Are these the plates for converting a Lockwood 3572 or 3582 mortice lock?
No - that job takes a Borg adaptor kit. SPBL5001 is for replacing a KNK entrance set with a Borg 5000 Series lock. To keep a Lockwood 3572 mortice lock and fit a Borg 5000 Series keypad, order BL50013572K, or BL50013572KBTB for a Borg keypad on each side of the door. For a Lockwood 3582 mortice lock, BL50013582K suits outward-opening doors only; for an inward-opening door, ask our team. The retrofit ecosystem covers keypad retrofits and adaptor kits.

Planning the Job
Which Borg 5000 Series lock should I choose to replace a KNK entrance set?
Choose the lock for the door and for how often the code will change; the plates are listed for every lock named here. If you expect to change the code regularly, even yearly, choose an Easicode Pro (ECP) model - BL5001MGPROECP, BL5051MGPROECP, BL5401SSDDAECP or BL5401DDAMGPROECP - because the code changes on the door (how Borg ECP code changes work). The BL5001, BL5051, BL5050SC, BL5000SC, BL5201MG, BL5201SC and BL5401SSDDA change their code On The Bench (Borg standard chambers). Our guides to whether you need ECP, decoding Borg names and choosing a mechanical digital lock help with the rest.

How many packs do I need?
One pack for each KNK entrance set you are replacing. Borg sells SPBL5001 as two mounting plates for that job, and the pack holds both. For several doors, send the details to our team and we will confirm quantities. Our scar plate FAQ answers more questions about pairs and single plates.

Can I fit these plates to a fire door?
Check with us first. We cannot confirm a fire rating for SPBL5001, and on a fire door the lock and anything fitted with it have to suit that door's certification. Start with how to identify a fire door, then read scar plates on fire doors and why fire doors need certified locks, and talk to our team before you order.

We offer advice and installation, and our team can recommend a qualified locksmith.
