Before we dig in Pyle
In Pyle the highway authority for local roads is Bridgend County Borough Council. We confirm whether the ground is adopted highway before quoting, because driveway security posts on a public footway need its agreement first.
If your site in Pyle is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Bridgend County Borough Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Clay soils hold water, so a telescopic or semi-automatic cassette there needs a proper soakaway or a connection to a surface water drain, never the foul drain. Block paving reinstates well because the original blocks can go back; tarmac, resin-bound and imprinted concrete show patching, so we keep cuts tight and positions sensible.
- In conservation areas or at listed buildings, check with the local planning authority before fitting visible posts.
- Make sure the post is on your own land; a post on the pavement or the dropped kerb needs the highway authority's agreement.
Installation, step by step
Free home survey
We look at your drive, how and where you park, the surface and what might be under it, such as the water pipe or a gas service. You receive a fixed written quote with the post type and position marked.
Fit the post
Telescopic cassettes and removable sockets are set flush in concrete with drainage beneath. Fold-down posts are anchored to concrete or a small new pad.
Make good and show you
The surface is reinstated and cleaned. We show you how to lock, lower and raise the post and hand over the keys.
Choosing the right spec
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Removable posts | Lift out of a shallow socket and lock in place. Simple and low cost to fit, but must be stored when out. |
| Fold-down posts | Hinged posts bolted down with resin anchors. Quick to fit and no digging, but need a solid base to fix into. |
| Finishes | Black, grey, yellow or stainless finishes, with reflective bands so visitors see the post at night. |

- Finish and keyed-alike locks

Looking after them
Use the post regularly and keep the lock lubricated, especially before winter. Fold-down posts need the hinge oiled and anchors checked.

What if I lose the key to my driveway post?
Keep the spare somewhere safe. If both are lost, many lock cylinders can be replaced, but sometimes the lock has to be drilled. That is a paid repair visit, so a spare key is worth having.
Does a driveway post stop keyless car theft?
It cannot stop a thief opening or starting the car electronically, but it stops the car being driven off the drive until the post is unlocked. That makes your car a slower, riskier target. Use it alongside a signal-blocking pouch and the car's own security.
