Borg 2201 Digital Push Button Door Lock with Holdback in Satin Chrome

Bought to give my kids some privacy from each other and also bought a couple for other doors. Quality seems very good. Solid and with a smooth action. Reasonably easy to set / change the combination. Installation is straightforward if you've got the right tools and a bit of DIY skill, and read and understand the instructions first. The first took me about an hour and by the last one I was down to just over 30 minutes. Just two things to note: - The template provided in the instructions shows three lines for different "Backsets". The size of the backset is printed on the box the lock comes in but this isn't mentioned anywhere. - Use the template provided with the lock. There is a downloadable version on the website but the positioning of some of the holes is wrong.

I was hopeful when this arrived - the quality seemed OK. My heart sank when I opened the instructions. They are absolutely terrible. There is also a very important paper template to ensure you drill the holes in your door in the right place. This is even worse than the instructions. There are also no obvious installation videos on YouTube, like you'd expect. I figured out the template, and I know I got it right because everything fitted perfectly. However, once all fitted, when I entered the code, the latch stuck. There was no way of popping it back - I had to 'un-fit' it all. I repeated this process 3 more times, checking everything I could have possibly done wrong. There was nothing. I'm a fairly handy carpenter and used a standard combination of drill, Stanley knife, and precision chisels to cut everything out of the door precisely. Everything was in its right place, everything was used, no part of the door was interfering with any part of the mechanism. But every time it was all assembled, I keyed in the lock, turned the handle, and the bloody latch jammed fast. So, of course, I've packed it all up and sent it back for a refund. Meanwhile I'm left with a door full of holes.

So I installed this on an external gate I had just built. First up I changed the code which was easy enough if you follow the instructions, then I tested the lock as advised to do so in the instructions and all seemed fine. Then I fitted the lock, this is where I made the mistakes, I hadn't taken into consideration the maximum thickness of the gate, so out came the dremel and I recessed the lock. As I say though this was my mistake. Fitting the lock itself was relatively easy and the supplied template was accurate. It was only after fitting the lock that I noticed you have to enter the code to open it, then also enter the code to lock it. I really wasn't expecting this and it wasn't stated in the spec anywhere that this was the case. The latch stays inside the barrel until you enter the code and turn the handle clockwise again. This even applies to locking the door from the inside, you need to put the code in first. By this point i'd fitted it and wasn't going to remove it again. One plus point of this mode is that you wouldn't lock yourself out by letting the gate swing shut but then again anyone passing through the gate that way would usually know the code to get back in. One downside to this feature was somebody forgot to lock the gate and during the night the gate blew open and we thought initially that someone had forced it. We'll see how long this door lock stands up to the elements, the rubber seals are good quality but I didn't see any sealing for the front buttons when I had the lock open to change the code. All in all though, worth the money compared to some of the more expensive units.

Have to say this lock is fantastic!! I have a daughter that thinks she can help herself to my clothes and make up whenever she likes so 6 months ago bought a similar lock. It came with a preset code but after she worked this out found we were unable to change it. Anyway in search of a new one and having read several reviews I decided to opt for this one. Can honestly say I am very pleased. It comes with tools and pliers to change the security code and I love the fact it has the function to disengage the lock too. If you are considering buying then you won't be disappointed. Exceptional quality and value for money.

we needed loads of special kit to get this fixed, the instructions were very complex and where you'd really need more detailed instructions, they were not provided. Once fixed, it works very well and is solid. I would recommend a professional or experienced installer.

This is a great security key pad installed on both back and front gates. Very solid fittings. A bit tricky to get the key parts in place but once you figure that out very quick and easy to install. I feel safer knowing my garden is secure.

Was working for about 20 months, then something happened with the mechanism inside the lock that it would just not open/close. Almost got locked out. Luckily we could enter the house from the back garden

Cheap quality

Ho acquistato la maniglia per una porta di accesso utilizzata da molte persone; il prodotto è solido e funzionale e farà risparmiare alla società sportiva cui appartengo il costo di oltre un centinaio di chiavi. Ottimo acquisto e spedizione velocissima, come sempre con Amazon. Unico difetto, se vogliamo trovarne uno, la mancanza della traduzione in italiano del piccolo manuale di istruzioni. CONSIGLIO !!!

Bekannt aus England und Frankreich. In Deutschland sind diese Schlösser wenig im Einsatz. Ein wenig kniffelig bei der Montage in eine herkömmliche Tür mit Deutsche Schloßkasten (Trennung von Klinke und Schloß) aber wenn einmal im Einsatz nahezu unverwüstlich. Abwicklung war klasse und schnell.

Je ne poste que rarement de retour sur mes achat via le net. Mais là : agréablement surpris de la qualité de ce produit ! Il faut effectivement bien comprendre les instructions de montage en anglais, entre les "right push inner handoor" et autres "backlash with the knob" :-) il faut réfléchir à 2 fois. Mais tout est bien expliqué, et pour ma part le montage en suivant le gabarit (fourni) ET les instructions s'est très bien passé. Les parties mécaniques sentent le montage de bonne facture. Je ne connaissait par "Borglocks" mais j'y reviendrais ! Cordialement, Rova

Es exactamente lo que estaba buscando. Es muy eficaz. En mi caso en particular lo quería para la puerta del cuarto de baño.

No son fáciles ni universales
