Car theft has become more common in Canada. according to the Interpol, over 200 stolen cars are discovered worldwide every week. Retractable bollards are a new security measures that Ontario drivers are embracing as a result of this worrying trend.
To block driveways, bollards are short, strong posts that may be pulled or lowered. These retractable models, which have been around for a while in Europe, provide a handy deterrent against theft. Demand for the products of companies like Ontario Bollards and Bollard Boys GTA is rising as more Canadians look to safeguard their cars.
Danny Zanchi, managing director of Ontario Bollards, states that “we’re just seeing the tip of the iceberg.” He cites the recent decision by Costco to sell its bollards as proof that the market is expanding.
The advantages are obvious. Because they are a visual barrier, retractable bollards frequently stop burglars before they even try to break in. Security firms are paying attention as well; some are considering adding bollards to their offerings.
According to Zanchi, “Canada isn’t the safe haven it used to be.” “Bollards offer a much-needed security upgrade.”
Bollard Boys GTA co-founder Stephan Bordun concurs. He observes that consumers are looking for proactive security measures in order to combat the issue of auto theft.
Retractable barrier are relatively new in Canada, but they provide a tried-and-true way to safeguard cars. Bordun remarks, “We’re just kind of late to the party.” However, it appears that Canadians are finally embracing secure parking, given the spike in auto theft.
