THE IX TWINSTAR : NEW INDUSTRY
BENCHMARK IN KEY TECHNOLOGY FROM DOM
» » ALL MANUFACTURERS ARE
trying to get to the next level in
order to protect property and
people by coming up with keys
that cannot be copied. It’s an
aim that Lloyd Chitty, National
Sales Manager at DOM-UK
Ltd believes his company has
achieved this with the launch of
the DOM ix TwinStar that was
on display at MLA EXPO 17 and
which is due to be rolled out
with a full launch in 2018.
“We’ve produced the new
reversible DOM ix TwinStar
with high security uppermost
in mind for all areas of use. We
think it really sets a benchmark
at the very top level in key
security. “The ix TwinStar is well
protected against unauthorised
copying by the float-mounted
double roller in the key. It
has a complex system of 11
sprung tumblers, 10 being
pins and one a locking shaft
tumbler, that makes it suitable
for everyone from those with
private homes through to large
properties with high security
standards. “The float-mounted
double roller from our point
of view is very different to
anything else on the market
and we are looking to work
with chosen locksmith partners
who have the technology skills
and right profile for us.”
DOM is already well known
for its high ridge technology
producing keys that are
incredibly hard to copy and
the ix TwinStar sees them
Join the
keyless revolution...

moving that next step further in
maximum security. The sprung
tumblers are made of special
brass and hardened steel
and the key is manufactured
from high quality low-wear
nickel silver. “We’ve been
developing the ix TwinStar
for nearly four years in order
to produce something that
the market now requires, as
there has been a great deal
of technology devoted to key
copying, lock picking and
illegal opening. We’ve received
a great reaction so far from our
locksmith partners and we are
looking forward to next year’s
full launch.
Comment on MLA EXPO 17:
“This has given us the
perfect opportunity to show the
ix TwinStar for the first time.”
