BDPM-X BullDog Pole Mount

BDPM-X BullDog Pole Mount

This cast aluminum BullDog Pole Mount is designed to provide a very strong and low profile mount for Polara's BullDog Push Button. With Polara's BullDog Button attached to this mount, the main body of the button extends less than 1 inch from the pole. This low profile provides very little foot mount for kids who like to use buttons as a foothold to climb poles; and it is a very rugged answer to vandals who try to damage buttons. This mount with the BullDog Button is probably the most vandal resistant button available on the market.

This mount is different from most mounts in that rather than drilling and tapping into the aluminum, we install stainless steel nuts for the button screws to fasten to, so that should you ever have to replace a push button, the screws will come out easily verses being frozen to the aluminum as occurs with other aluminum mounts. Each mount comes with 1/4-20 stainless steel mounting bolts. Available in 3 standard colors: Black, Green or Yellow.

Aluminum Push Button Cup

Aluminum Push Button Cup

This is a very strong aluminum cup for mounting the BullDog. Includes threaded hole for 1/2" conduit.

Tamper Resistant Hardware

Spanner Head Tamper Resistant Screw Sets and Spanner Head Bits are an option to the standard Philips head screws supplied with each button. They are very nominally priced and help prevent theft in high vandalism situations.
