Quick-Lock Signs System
Hot-swap, weight-saving and recyclable Streetworks signs.
A modular & sustainable sign system
The Quick-Lock Signs System is a game-changing solution for Urban and Streetwork Schemes. First, it swaps steel frames for lighter, vertical posts with a compact footprint. Fixed-weight bases that do not split or spill replace traditional sandbag ballast. And more durable hot-swap plates take over from fixed sign faces. Together these features create a modern temporary sign system that is flexible, durable, and impressively light.
As a modular system, the signs are configurable on-demand, faces swappable or supplementary plates added. Each component part is replaceable and made from recycled or recyclable materials. Thanks to its reduced weight and stackability, more units can be transported together, streamlining on-site deployment. The Quick-Lock Signs System delivers both sustainability & weight-savings that lower project costs & carbon impact.

Quick-Lock Signs are efficient & sustainable
Modernise your worksites with the Quick-Lock Signs System and benefit from efficient & sustainable equipment. One benefit is that it is modular, stacks neater, and is more compact than metal frames. The plates use Enviroplate, our recycled sign substrate that lasts for years. Each sign plates hot-swaps in a few seconds without needing tools. Switching to posts from frames is also more compact and less intrusive, reducing trip hazards.
Quick-Lock sign plates, vertical posts & bases are all recyclable and can be reclaimed at the end of their life. The bases and posts are made from recycled PVC for its strength and durability. Our sign plates use recycled ABS sheet, faced with ORALITE Reflective & protective overlay. Recyclability helps sustainability too, with 750mm MAW Signs having footprints of 28.9kg of CO2 & weighing about 21.22kg.

Quick-Lock vs A-Frames
In comparison, Quick-Lock Signs provide multiple benefits over Metal A-Frame Signs. For instance, Quick-Lock Sign faces are vertical and not slanted, improving clarity and reflective performance. By using sustainable self-weighted bases, the sign system meets wind-loading requirements without needing perishable sandbag ballast. Our post and base setup also has a compact footprint compared to metal frames and is lighter in weight, aiding deployment.
Quick-Lock products
Our Quick-Lock Signs System was designed for urban Streetworks and Highways projects. Its modular design allows on-site teams to swap components in and out as locations or stocks require. Both our Lugged & Quick-Fit Sign faces are accommodated via our Quick-Swap Adapter. Post lengths can be changed to enable supplementary plates, and bases double stacked for extreme wind loading.

Sign-Plates
Quick-Lock Signs use Lug Fixings to help on-site teams hot-swap their sign faces in seconds. Two Lugs are mounted onto the rear of each sign plate. To deploy, simply insert the lugs into the posts keyholes and push the sign down to lock it into place.

Scheme weight savings
Alongside improved assembly & durability, Quick-Lock also provides vital weight savings. With a Chapter-8 sign weighing about 21kg, deployment costs are reduced per site. Being modular its stacks neatly, so setup teams can carry more signs per vehicle.
The table below shows the savings based on standard Site Schemes following the TMCA Guidance on BS 8442:2015 Ballasting of Temporary Road Signs. Results show most installations can be completed by a single vehicle, cutting labour & fuel costs. As one of partners Case Study shows, the effects are wide-ranging and impressive.
| Site Scheme | Metal Frame & Sandbags - kg | Quick-Lock Sign & Base - kg | Weight Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 Way Lights 30mph | 867 | 721 | 146kg / 17% |
| 3 Way Lights 30mph | 1262 | 1037 | 225kg / 18% |
| 4 Way Lights 30mph | 1655 | 1433 | 222kg / 13% |
| Road Closure & Diversion - 20 Signs | 870 | 605 | 265kg / 30% |
