DOM ix TwinStar® half cylinder 2-in-1
"Two roles - double security"
With the ix TwinStar®, DOM once again demonstrates its comprehensive expertise in the field of mechanical locking technology. The new reversible key system is particularly well protected against unauthorised copying by a floating double roller in the key.
DOM ix Twinstar® is a secure locking system for all those looking for the highest quality. It meets the high requirements of VdS, DIN and SKG and can be used in residential buildings, offices or private companies. Thanks to a complex system - 11 spring-loaded locking elements, 10 of which are pin locking elements and 1 locking shaft locking element - it is suitable for private homes up to large buildings with high security standards.
2-in-1 system
This unique feature offers for registered single locks the possibility to easily recode the cylinders in your system! With 2-in-1, each cylinder has a integrated spare coding and comes with a second set of keys. If you suspect your security is compromised, simply insert a key from the second set into the cylinder, turn it over, and the first set immediately loses its locking function!
There are special variants for detached and semi-detached houses with optimum safety equipment.

2-in-1 system:
The DOM system is prepared at the factory for a second lock, which the customer can call up himself if required. The locking cylinder can be easily recoded with the second set of keys. A 360° turn in the cylinder - and the new lock is activated. The old keys are thus easily rendered ineffective.
- 2 x 3 keys, 2-in-1 recodable
- number of keys per key set selectable
- with this option standard drilling protection VdS B, with modular design VdS BZ
- Please note that this function cannot be reset! After the 1st locking with the 2nd key set, the 1st key set is deactivated forever!
2-in-1 system
Reversible key with patented movable double roller
It may look like a normal key, but the ix TwinStar is the pinnacle in the evolution of DOM keys. Every technology, innovation and patent for mechanical security ever developed by DOM engineers has resulted in this unique reversible key. It features more complex copy protection technologies integrated into the key and more pins for more security and possible combinations. It also offers the highest level of user-friendliness due to the reversible technology.
Twin caster
It only looks like a small wheel, but the double role in the key of the DOM ix TwinStar is a really big deal. Not only does it make it almost impossible to copy the cylinder unless you have the right special tool, it also generates a large number of extra key combinations, making it a perfect addition to the security system. Best of all, it is still as easy to use as a regular reversible key.
Impact protection
The cylinder contains impact protection pins and other safety elements that prevent access by impact keys to turn the inner pins.
Openeing protection
The cylinder contains specially shaped unlocking security pins that prevent opening with the help of a lock pick.
Pulling protection
The cylinder contains a special cylinder core which prevents the cylinder from being pulled out by drilling into the core.
Cam position
The locking cam can be turned to 8 different locking positions (see white circles). The black circle represents the position at which the locking cam is positioned by default.
If you want to change the locking cam, it works as follows:
- Insert the key into the cylinder and turn the cam.
- Press the locking pin in the locking cam with a pointed object
(e.g. the DOM release needle or a thin slotted screwdriver) downwards towards the pressure spring. - Hold the key firmly and then turn the locking cam to the desired position.
- If the adjustment is successful, the locking pin can be heard to engage.
How to measure the cylinder length correctly?
Drilling protection VdS BZ = high safety for special requirements
In cooperation with the police, VdS Schadenverhütung GmbH has developed a star system that divides mechanical locking systems into three different security classes, thus providing you with a quick overview of the respective security level.
- recognition by VdS Schadesverhütung GmbH
- VdS checks locking systems and awards recognition from A to BZ+
- drilling protection VdS BZ = VdS security class 3
- VdS BZ: increased protection against drilling and core pulling due to carbide pins in cylinder body and cylinder core arranged in several planes
- this drilling protection variant is manufactured in modular technology with increased tear-off protection
- modular design as 2-in-1 variant has drilling protection VdS BZ
Cylinder finishes:
- finishes (polished brass, oxidized bronze, matt black chrome)
- standard finish: dull nickel
- matt finish on the front side only
- for individual design requirements
- if desired, homogeneous appearance of door cylinder and fitting
If a different cylinder finish, different from the standard finish, is ordered, extended production times may occur.
dull nickel
polished brass
oxidized bronze
matt black chrome
Seawater resistance:
- for use under marine climate or salty atmosphere
- fixing screw pure brass, cam sintered steel (chemically nickel plated)
- cylinder finish: matt chrome
- restrictions possible in combination with other optional equipment
DOM offers you a free additional guarantee on this system in addition to the DOM guarantee with a total term of 10 years.
To do this, you must register with DOM within 1 month of purchasing the registered single lock.
