SDC BPS6SV Surface Mount Bollard

Overview

The BPS6SV is a 6" × 6" × 42" aluminum surface-mount bollard post designed to support push-plate and touch-panel access control interfaces. This is the physical mounting structure for credential readers and input devices in entry control deployments where a standalone post infrastructure is required. The aluminum post construction (1/8" gauge) provides structural stability while keeping the form factor compact enough for single-gang installations in commercial, healthcare, and office environments.

Compatibility

The BPS6SV accommodates single-gang push-plate and touch-panel readers mounted at the standard 36" height from finished floor — a critical measurement for ADA-compliant access control deployments. It pairs with SDC surface-mount reader interfaces and control logic that rely on a dedicated post structure rather than flush wall installation. Verify that your reader/controller package specifies compatibility with surface-mount 1/8" aluminum posts before ordering.

Installation Notes

The post is surface-mounted directly to floor or wall substrate, requiring anchor points suitable for the bollard's weight and the anticipated push force from door-opening actuators. The 36" standard prep location positions single-gang readers at accessible heights for both standing and wheelchair-using occupants. Install on concrete, tile, or solid structural framing; do not install on drywall or hollow stud walls without appropriate backing or bolting hardware.
