Do driveway security posts work?

Yes. A locked driveway security post is a solid steel barrier between your car and the road. Even if a thief gets into your car or copies the signal from your keyless fob, they can’t drive it off your drive without getting through the post first, and that takes time and noise they don’t have.

  • They can’t drive through itA raised, locked post physically blocks the way out. No getaway, no theft.
  • Thieves pick easier targetsA post you can see from the road tells thieves your car will take time and noise to steal.
  • Set deep in concreteWe set the sleeve deep in concrete, so the post can’t be pulled or levered out.

Driveway security posts: what to know

Straight answers from bollard specialists who know them inside out.

Do security posts stop keyless car theft?

Keyless thieves don’t need your keys. They copy the signal from your fob inside the house, unlock the car and drive away in under a minute. A security post doesn’t stop them getting in, but it does stop the part that matters: driving off.

That’s why a post works alongside a signal-blocking pouch or a steering lock. Those slow a thief down; the post stops the car leaving.

Telescopic, removable or fold-down: which is secure?

For stopping theft, a telescopic security post is the best all-rounder. The post locks upright out of a deep sleeve and drops flush when you need the drive. Heavy-duty, lift-assist and automatic versions build on the same idea.

Removable posts lift right out of a socket, which suits shallow ground but means storing the post. Fold-down posts are great for stopping people parking, but they’re lighter and bolt to the surface, so we don’t recommend them for theft.

How strong does a security post need to be?

Look at three things: the steel (thicker walls resist ramming and cutting), the lock (anti-pick and anti-drill), and independent testing such as Sold Secure. For high-value cars and 4x4s, go heavy-duty.

The fitting matters as much as the post. A strong post in a shallow hole is a weak post. Ours sit in a steel sleeve set deep in concrete.

What can I use instead of bollards?

Gates, wheel clamps, steering locks, trackers and immobilisers all help. Gates are expensive and slow to open; clamps and steering locks have to be fitted every night; trackers help you get the car back after it’s gone; immobilisers like a Ghost stop the engine, but not a car being loaded onto a truck.

A security post is the one that physically stops the car leaving, every time, in seconds. Most of our customers use it alongside one of the others.

Which cars need a security post most?

Any car parked on a drive overnight can be a target, but thieves favour high-value SUVs and cars with keyless entry, because they can be taken quickly and quietly. If your car has keyless entry, a security post is the simplest way to make sure it can’t be driven away.

Our guide to UK car theft statistics lists the models stolen most often.

Will a security post lower my insurance?

Some insurers take approved physical security into account, and some of our customers tell us their premium came down after fitting a post. It depends on your insurer, so tell yours when you fit one. We can give you the product details and Sold Secure certificate they may ask for.

Can a security post stop people parking in front of my drive?

No. A post can only go on your own land, so it can’t stop someone parking on the road across your driveway. Blocking a dropped kerb can be a parking offence that councils enforce, so report it to your council.

What a post does stop is anyone parking on the drive itself. If that’s your main problem, a parking post costs less than a security post: see our parking bollards and posts.

Will a security post damage my driveway?

We cut a neat hole just big enough for the sleeve, so the post sits flush when it’s down. We fit into block paving, tarmac, concrete, resin and gravel, and make good around the post. We take all the waste away and leave your drive spotless.

Can I fit a security post myself?

You can, but it means digging a deep hole through your drive, avoiding cables and pipes, setting the sleeve level in concrete and adding drainage. Get any of that wrong and the post is easier to beat, or water sits in the sleeve and freezes.

Our fitted price covers all of it, and comes with the Gold Guarantee.

Driveway security posts: your questions answered

Do driveway security posts stop car theft?

Yes. A raised, locked security post stops a car being driven off the drive, even if a thief has got into it or cloned a keyless fob. Most thieves want a quick, quiet getaway, and a steel post set in concrete takes that away.

How much does a driveway security post cost?

Fully fitted, telescopic security posts start from £799, heavy-duty from £949, lift-assist from £1,499 and automatic from £2,999. Every price includes the post, digging, concrete, drainage, making good and a full clean-up.

What is the best security post for a driveway?

For most homes, a telescopic security post: strong, simple and the best value. If you have a high-value car or a 4x4, choose heavy-duty. If you use the drive all day, lift-assist or automatic are much easier to live with.

What can I use instead of bollards?

Gates, wheel clamps, steering locks, trackers and immobilisers all help, but none of them physically stops the car leaving every time. A security post does, and it takes seconds to use. Many people combine one with a steering lock or a signal-blocking pouch.

How deep does a security post go?

A telescopic security post needs a sleeve around a metre deep, set in concrete, with drainage at the bottom. We check for cables and pipes before we dig.

How do I secure my driveway?

Use layers. A security post physically stops the car leaving, lighting and a camera deter thieves, and a signal-blocking pouch protects keyless fobs. The post is the layer that still works when the others don’t.
