Why Should I Choose Insurance-Approved Security Bollards?

With everyday costs on the rise, many are tempted to opt for cheaper alternatives to both daily essentials and important one-off purchases, but is this always wise? When it comes to security bollards, the answer is a firm no.

Recently, we’ve noticed many new online stores pop up, each offering bollards at reduced rates to hook in those looking for the cheapest option, especially to prevent car crime. These stores sell poorly-made products created with subpar skills and materials that are below standard. They are also using photos on their sites from reputable suppliers, such as ourselves, to suck customers in. 

Sadly, all this will leave those buyers with is a product that lacks quality, longevity, and insurance provider approval.

It’s crucial that when you purchase bollards to secure your property, you select the best. Our bollards at Rhino Security are made in the UK and insurance-approved, meaning they meet the top standards of quality and safety, and have a long lifespan to boot.

What are insurance-approved bollards?

Insurance-approved bollards are built to meet the security standards insurance companies require for protecting property. Owning them to secure your land, property, or business can also help you meet policy requirements, which can lead to reduced insurance costs.

Let’s discuss the key elements of our UK-made security bollards recommended by insurance companies.

Quality

It isn’t news that the better quality an item is, the stronger it will perform and the longer it will last. Insurance-approved bollards boast the best quality around, or they wouldn’t be recommended by insurance providers.

By purchasing bollards from Rhino, we can ensure a product of robustness and longevity. Due to our brand name’s respect, many insurance companies have specified us as a choice for their customers. This is because of the material and craftsmanship of our static and telescopic bollards. With Rhino’s top level of quality, you are guaranteed a product that lasts for many years to come with only yearly servicing to keep it looking and performing its best.

Sold Secure approved

Sold Secure is an independent testing and certification house that asses security products and their performance. If your product has a lock that has been tested and approved by Sold Secure, you can rest assured that it is designed and built to best withstand lock manipulation and picking, cutting, cropping, drilling, and pulling.

The locks on all of our Rhino security products have Sold Secure certified locks. This greatly helps prevent tampering from thieves looking to remove or lower bollards. Anyone looking to get rid of the block a bollard creates to steal a car, for example, will have an almost impossible time doing so. Many insurance providers recognise this in our products, which can help lower car insurance policy costs when installed in your driveway.

Secured By Design accredited

Secured by Design (SBD) is the official police-led security initiative. This initiative is aimed at reducing crime by enhancing the safety of buildings and their surroundings and creating secure environments for living, working, and visiting. SBD has a product-based accreditation scheme, which provides a recognised standard for security products that help to prevent crime or reduce its rates.

Our telescopic bollards are designed and built to stop criminals in their tracks, which is why we can proudly say they are Secured By Design accredited. In the eyes of insurance companies, this approval from a police initiative is a green flag. This all means it’s more likely that your insurance provider will approve, and your policy may be reduced.

Cost

Products designed and built to last will always be more expensive, but for good reason. If you pay for a cheaper product, its performance will likely be lacking, the materials will deteriorate, and the service that comes with it won’t be professional. By paying for a product of quality, you can expect a long lifespan, strong materials, and service that is second to none.

With Rhino Security, you can rest assured that our products will perform. By purchasing our bollards and installation and maintenance services, you are investing in your property’s safety and security for years to come. Instead of continuously repairing and replacing cheap products, a Rhino bollard will see you through til the end.
