Upgrade to smarter access - without changing your door

Introducing the ASSA ABLOY SMARTair Australian Profile 201 Rim Knob Cylinder: a fast, cost‑effective way to move from mechanical to digital access - without replacing your door or altering your hardware.

Designed specifically for doors fitted with a traditional mechanical 201 rim cylinder, this smart upgrade lets you automate entry in minutes. If a 201 cylinder is already installed, simply replace it with the SMARTair 201 Knob Cylinder and start benefiting from secure, flexible digital access straight away.

Simple retrofit. Powerful results.

The SMARTair 201 Knob Cylinder combines an integrated RFID and BLE reader in one compact device. It is designed for:

  • Office and meeting room doors
  • Existing glass, aluminium or timber doors
  • Narrow profile doors
  • Openings where installing an escutcheon is difficult or not possible

There is no wiring required and no need to drill new holes. You simply remove the existing mechanical cylinder and fit the SMARTair 201 Knob Cylinder in its place.

It is a practical solution for upgrading access without disrupting your building or your day.

Small device. Serious protection.

The SMARTair Electronic Knob Cylinder is engineered for greater attack resistance while maintaining a clean, modern design. It is lightweight yet robust, making it suitable for exterior applications as well as internal doors.

Available in a range of colours and finishes, it complements almost any architectural style or design scheme.

Flexible access, your way

Give users the freedom to choose how they unlock:

  • Cards
  • Fobs
  • Badges
  • Mobile keys stored securely on a smartphone

Whether you are securing a single office or rolling out access control across a site, SMARTair adapts to your needs.

Reliable and efficient

Built for everyday performance, the SMARTair 201 Knob Cylinder offers:

  • IP56 rating for durability in demanding environments
  • Up to 60,000 cycles on a single CR2 battery, depending on reader technology such as MIFARE or DESFire
