Ali Aydan: The door handle is the first handshake of any building.‎

Ali Aydan says; I recently walked through a prime residential development in London. The lobby featured ‎imported marble. The glass was triple-glazed. The location was perfect.‎

Then I reached for the front door.‎

The handle was light. The lock mechanism rattled. It felt hollow.‎

In one second, the illusion of luxury collapsed.‎

The human brain is wired to associate weight with quality. When a buyer feels a cheap, plastic ‎component in their hand, they subconsciously start asking questions. If the developer cut ‎corners here, where else did they cut corners? They wonder about the wiring, the plumbing, and ‎the foundations.‎

This is the hidden cost of “value engineering” the touchpoints. You save twenty pounds on a lock, ‎but you lose the buyer’s trust before they even step inside.‎

At DORIX, we argue that security hardware is not just a utility. It is an asset multiplier.‎

We engineer weight, silence, and precision into every lock. When a potential buyer opens a ‎door secured by DORIX, they feel the solidity of a vault. They feel the “Quiet Luxury,” that the rest ‎of the building promises.‎

Do not let a cheap lock devalue a premium asset.‎

Luxury is not just what you see. It is what you feel.‎
