The SMARTair knob cylinder is offered in a range of finishes for any style or design scheme. It is suitable for usage on exterior and narrow profile doors.
The knob cylinder delivers convenience for building users. The cylinder is also compatible with virtual keys stored in the user-friendly SMARTair smartphone app, Openow, and with the TESA SMARTair app for remote opening.
