The RetractaPost is a simple, cost effective, yet highly effective way to prevent unwanted vehicle access. The RetractaPost is raised and lowered vertically. When lowered the post is fully below ground and covered using the integral lid. The post is padlockable (padlock not supplied) in the raised position by first rotating the post 45° and then attaching the padlock between the post to the lid. The RetractaPost 500 is 500mm above ground in the raised position.

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as AUTOPA LIMITED, number 03428445. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
