The Hinged Parking Post: Continually manufactured by AUTOPA since 1959
AUTOPA patented the first hinged parking post in 1959 and has been manufacturing them ever since. The hinged parking post has now become a regular feature around the UK and is the preferred choice for protecting individual parking spaces.
Manufactured from mild steel and galvanised for longevity the hinged parking post is available both in a galvanised or galvanised and coated finish. With a highly durable, tried and tested design, the parking post is lockable in the upright and lowered position. Each post features a high visibility reflective band to ensure that they are always visible to approaching vehicles.
Three lock types are available to secure the hinged parking post depending on where they are being installed. Read on to find out which is right for your next project.
Randomly Keyed Hinged Parking Post
If you order a randomly keyed hinged parking post then each post you order will have a different lock and key.
Where should I use a randomly keyed Hinged Parking Post?
Randomly keyed parking posts are ideal for car parks where parking spaces are reserved for specific people. For example, communal flat car parks where spaces are allocated to individual flats. With randomly keyed parking posts only the owner of that space can lower the post and gain access to the space.
Identically Keyed Hinged Parking Post
The second option is the identically keyed parking post. With an identically keyed post, the same lock will be installed on each post ordered and can be opened with the same key. Already have a parking post in situ? You can order some more based on the lock number, just give our sales office a call and our experienced and friendly team can help out.
Where should I use a identically keyed Hinged Parking Post?
Identically keyed parking posts are ideal for reserving banks of parking posts that are allocated to a group of people rather than individuals. For example in a communal office car park to allocate spaces for a particular company. Anyone that has a key can lower any of the posts and access the space.
Master Suited Hinged Parking Post
The final option is a master suited lock. With a master suited post, each of the locks are random, but all the posts can be raised and lowered as required through the use of a master key.
Where should I use a master suited Hinged Parking Post?
The master suited post is ideal for commercial car parks. As the posts themselves are randomly keyed, parking spaces can be allocated to individual people. However, a central team can gain access to the space if required through the use of a master key.
