The Skipton
DORIX Smart Cylinder Collection
UK Engineered
Mobile Access, RFID, NFC
Smart Home Integration, Wireless Online (via Gateway), Waterproof, Premium Body
Product Overview
The DORIX Smart Cylinder is inspired by Skipton Castle’s three-year stand against siege during the Civil War. Despite isolation and relentless attacks, its walls never yielded until peace terms were negotiated. This endurance made Skipton a lasting symbol of resilience and adaptability in times of uncertainty.
The Skipton collection is designed with the same philosophy of legendary strength, combining smart convenience with proven security. It offers secure, keyless control across a wide range of applications. Whether it’s a front door, flat, rental property, office, cabinet, or outbuilding, Skipton adapts to the cylinder you already have with five types: Thumbturn, Screw-in, Rim, Cam, and Scandinavian (oval).
