DOM ix Teco and ix Twido mechanical cylinders: for each level of security, its suitable cylinder and patented key

Hospitals, administrations, local authorities, hotels, residential or office buildings... in new or existing buildings, the requirements for locking and managing authorized human flows vary. In the era of everything connected, in these public or private establishments, the prioritization of access by mechanical organization chart nevertheless remains in the majority.

A key player in this field among building hardware professionals, DOM-Metalux offers, in its DOM ix range, solutions adapted to each level of security: DOM ix Teco^® and DOM ix Twido^®.

DOM ix Teco^® and DOM ix Twido^® : the guarantee of maximum protection

Meeting the security needs of numerous applications, the patented DOM ix Teco closing systems^® (until 2038) and ix Twido^® (until 2036) from DOM-Metalux have several technical elements which give them not only high protection against illegal copies of keys but also high resistance to all types of break-ins (picking, bumping, drilling, tearing, etc.). ).

With their 7 active locking pins and 19 control points on the key, these European mechanical cylinders are specially designed for creating flowcharts, from the simplest to the most complex, in order to issue access rights to different users in all buildings requiring high security requirements. Virtually impossible to force, they possess strong combinatorial power.

Added to these characteristics is a specific design of their key provided with an ownership card. Equipped with raised grooves and patented at the European Patent Office, they provide additional security and considerably reduce the risks of illegal reproduction such as, for example, fraudulent copies using the 3D printer thanks to:

an innovative notch on the key profile of the DOM ix Teco^®, patented until 2038,
two independent moving elements positioned at the tip of the DOM ix Twido key^®, patented until 2036. This technology makes its implementation particularly recommended in larger sites (industrial, administrative, etc.) which require very high protection against intrusions.

Associated with the 3-point mortise lock for wooden doors Amazone +, DOM ix Teco^® and ix Twido^® They also have A2P* certification, guaranteeing 5 minutes of resistance to burglary attempts by destructive or non-destructive methods.

Certified EN 1303: 2015 to the highest grade in the majority of categories measured by the standard, key and cylinder benefit from high resistance to temperature, corrosion and wear thanks to the materials chosen for their manufacture (nickel silver and solid nickel-plated brass). Enough to allow DOM ix Teco^® and ix Twido^® to sustainably meet all safety requirements, even the most extreme!

Practical, ergonomic and flexible

Beyond offering a better degree of protection, the reversible key provided with DOM ix Teco locking systems^® and ix Twido^® provides users with great comfort of daily use. In fact, whatever its direction of insertion, it allows the lock to be easily unlocked, including in the case of the presence of a cylinder protector thanks to its elongated shoulder.

Another significant advantage, in the event of moving or use on new doors, DOM ix Teco^® and ix Twido^® are offered, as an option, with modular technology. This allows the length of the cylinder to be adapted at any time while guaranteeing additional protection against tearing and extraction thanks to the addition of a hardened steel reinforcement bar. On the other hand, for even greater flexibility, DOM ix Teco^® like ix Twido^® allow you to lock/unlock both mechanics and electronics with a single key by simply adding a ClipTag badge to it. Also available in varied half-opening, DOM ix Twido^® offers, for its part, the possibility of unlocking a group of cylinders with a single key in addition to opening by a general or partial pass.

To integrate both from a technical and aesthetic point of view into all architectural projects whatever their style, the DOM ix Teco cylinders^® and ix Twido^® are available in numerous variations of buttons to equip all doors and as many exclusive finishes (matt nickel-plated, matt or shiny chrome, matt or polished brass, dark or antique bronze, black velvet chrome, gold, matt black chrome). Scratch-resistant, they give free rein to the creativity of specifiers who can then match the cylinders to the crutches of their choice.

Finally, note that, DOM ix Teco^® benefits from the DOM-illico express service from DOM-Metalux, and therefore from shipping in a record time of 4 working days for up to 100 mechanical cylinders.
