Quick-Lock Signs System

The Quick-Lock Signs System is a modern, modular signage solution for streetworks, highways, events, and urban projects, designed to reduce deployment time, improve visibility, and cut carbon impact. It replaces traditional metal A-frames and sandbags with a compact, tool-free system of vertical posts, hot-swap sign plates, and self-weighted bases.

The Quick-Lock system is engineered for efficiency and sustainability. Each component – sign plates, posts, and bases – is made from recycled or recyclable materials. The lightweight design improves transport efficiency and reduces manual handling risks, while still meeting BS 8442:2015 ballasting requirements.

The system’s modular structure means components can be interchanged or replaced on-site, allowing quick reconfiguration to meet changing layouts or additional signage needs. The result is a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable approach to temporary traffic management.

Key Advantages

• Faster installation – tool-free assembly, deployed in seconds.

• Hot-swap sign plates – faces can be changed instantly, no tools required.

• Compact footprint – upright design improves visibility and reduces trip hazards.

• Sandbag-free ballast – sealed, weighted PVC bases provide stability without spill risk.

• Durable Enviroplate sign faces – long-life recycled ABS substrate with ORALITE reflective finish.

• Fully recyclable – all parts (posts, plates, and bases) are recycled or recyclable.

• Weight-saving design – significant transport and handling efficiency versus traditional setups.

Sustainable and Efficient Design

The Quick-Lock system represents a major advance in sustainable traffic management. Traditional signs rely on metal frames and sandbags – heavy, high-maintenance, and prone to damage. In contrast, Quick-Lock’s recycled PVC posts and bases and Enviroplate sign faces reduce material use, simplify handling, and last longer.

Each sign component can be replaced individually at the end of its life, and all materials can be recycled, contributing to circularity goals and lower lifetime costs. The system’s weight savings – up to 33% in standard site schemes – reduce CO₂ emissions through lighter transport loads and fewer vehicle journeys.
