The post has done the job well and fulfilled my expectations. The padlock configuration was slightly different from the illustration shown on the website, but that shouldn't present a problem, although it may slightly more accessible to someone wanting to attack it with bolt croppers or an angle grinder. It was a straightforward job to install, but care is obviously needed to ensure that the fixing bolts are centred and securely fixed in position. Looking at the alternatives on the market, I believe that this fold-down post represents good value for money and I would recommend it to anybody wanting build quality at an affordable price.

I was not amused when a careless tradesman opted to drive through my SS-4 fold down post rather than drive around it. Fortunately his employer saw what happened and agreed to replace and fit a new one. I had no hesitation to replace the post with another SS-4. I have used these for many years and I know how robust and easy to fit they are. I always keep a spare one for such eventualities. A pair of these posts are positioned at the entrance of my driveway ro avoid huge lorries attempting to turn round and damaging my property.. Since these were erected I have had no problems with lorry drivers...only the careless tradesman.

Easy to use. Arrives fully assembled.

Difficult to install on a tarmac driveway. Requires a concrete base to drill and bolt into.
