Frequently Asked Questions

Removable bollards are unlocked with a secure key and can be physically lifted out of their ground socket in seconds, leaving behind a clean, flush cover when you need an open driveway.
Retractable bollards are also unlocked with a secure key, but they effortlessly slide flush into the ground. When you are ready to secure the space, you bring them back into place by lifting back up using a built-in flush handle.
Automated bollards offer the ultimate convenience. These are fully motorized electromechanical units that raise or lower in seconds using a smartphone app, remote key fob, secure keypad, etc.
