Hi all,

Just a general call out to see if anyone on SAU works in the Security Industry and would help me out in getting 1 or 2 security bollards for my workshop entry. Primarily it is to stop ram-raids etc, so they will have to be either retractable or removable.

Looking at getting units that are very sturdy; places online all don't have prices so I have no idea what I'm looking at paying - any help is appreciated!

Cheers

Stan

i got out of the business a long time ago, i had a few connections so i'll have a look around for them. but those ram thingos dont do shit unless you've got one on the inside too. if someone was to rock up with some bolt cutters or an oxy (it happens) they'll get those suckers off with no problem within 2 or so mins.

i've seen and heard of alot of places with just the two on the outside.

Ive heard security patrols are good ,say maybe twice or once a night a guards comes around to check the premises and also monitoring the place is also good,that way if there is an alarm the guard is more likely to show up before the police do u good even have a silent alarm in order to catch thieves,etc.

need any more backup call 0409360867 and say Rik sent you they should give u a good deal.

Stan,

Security Bollards are a good investment, as previously pointed out they dont stop the intruder but they are a great deterant.

Eg. 2 shops identically the same one with bollards, one without bollards it is highly probable that the theive would go for the ones without the bollards. Its a risk management process. Likelihood vs, Consequence.

The likelihood of the event happening is lessened by having the bollards and the consequence lessens as the time it would take for a theive to enter increases.

=Great investment by pyshical deterance.

Alarm monitoring is not expensive. If an alarm is set off a patrol car will respond and then there will be an extra cost for the service.

Theres a few other things I could suggest if your serious about risks within your business.

Cheers

bit late,but most safety supplies stores stock such items or can atleast get them in for you. there is a place called KLENALL out at castlereagh.

OR you could always make your own with some RHS and cement.

i can give you a hand.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
