Bold Smart Cylinder

Bold is a prominent Dutch brand specializing in smart access solutions, most recognized for its keyless smart cylinder locks. Founded in Utrecht, the Netherlands, the company aims to replace traditional keys with secure, smartphone-controlled technology. Their products are designed and engineered in the Netherlands, emphasizing European security standards like SKG certifications, though mass manufacturing is typically outsourced to specialized facilities in China to ensure scalability.

As of 2026, Bold remains an independent entity under Bold Smart Lock B.V. The brand has expanded significantly across Europe, particularly in the Benelux region, positioning itself as a leader in the DIY smart lock market. Ownership continues to be held by its original founders and private investors, maintaining its headquarters and core operational focus within the Dutch technology ecosystem.
