Fitting Instructions for the Surface Mounted Security Post

Thank you for choosing the Autolok surface mounted security post. Please ensure you read these instructions carefully before installing the product.

Foundation Bolts

You will need five suitable foundation bolts, these are available from builder’s merchants or DIY sheds. Your post is supplied without them, as there are many types available for different requirements, i.e. Some people prefer bolts others prefer allen key heads (Allen key heads can be drilled out for additional security.)

Drill Bits

The drill bit should be sized according to the foundation bolts purchased.

INSTALLATION

  1. Please read “Important Notes” below
  2. Place post in desired position ensuring that the post is free from obstructions. If the padlock is fitted, unlock and remove.
  3. Using the post-base plate as a template mark the position of the four outer holes.
  4. Remove base plate and drill holes using a suitable drill bit.
  5. Re-position the base plate and check holes are in alignment. Put post in its lowered position or remove the top section (KCP) then mark and drill the 5th hole of the base plate. For added security the 5th bolt is inaccessible when the post is in the locked position.
  6. Position the post again and tighten the foundation bolts.
