Gridwall Hook Security

*6" Gridwall hooks*

I am a little confused, but I think you are looking for a solution to inventory shrinkage from the display hooks?

If yes, this will stop 'em:

I am confused about the magnet, black and white... not really certain this is what you are after. If yes, google search "display hook slatwall lock" will yield several sources to purchase.

Thanks, but that's for a slatwall. A gridwall is a panel made from wire a mesh that yields 3" squares. It's usually manufactured with 1/4" or 3/16" diameter metal wires. Not only am I looking for a product that will lock the tangible products to the hook, but I'm looking for a product that also locks the hook to the gridwall panel.

Here's an example of a magnetic lock. The picture is for a pegboard application, but the company I talked to assures me that it has them for gridwall. The only problem is that they only have it in white.

Here's an example of a standard gridwall hook on a gridwall.

Gridwall? Not slatwall? Sheesh, I guess saying it three times in your original post was not enough information for me! Oops!

Well, I poked around and found a couple of vendors selling the same as you have shown us in white only.

How many of these are you considering? Would it be plausible to contact the manufacturer and commission the color you desire? If the one shown were black, would it be acceptable?

Well, I hope another member comes across this thread, and offers a better find. Best of luck in your quest.

That's quite alright.

Thanks for looking. If it were in black, we would definetly be interested. That's the problem. Depending on how many our client wants, we're most likely looking at in the 500 to 5000 range at a time. That's all based on if they like this solution.

I've been talking to manufacturers as well. Another option like I said would be just to use a standard hook lock that fits on any hook and figure out a way to just lock the hook on the gridwall.

Call me a cynic or whatever but I see more of a potential disadvantage with these magnetic locking product displays than any advantage.

Allow me to explain: I recently spent a good bit of time working as a commissioned sales person in a well known US chain electronics store. We had the magnetic locking hangers that locked to slat walls and locked the product to the hanger. They did little to deter pilferage as the determined shop lifters simply brought sharp cutting instruments with them to cut the blister packs loose. They also ticked off a lot of honest customers that wanted to peruse the packaging a little closer (it could be argued that that gives the sales person an opportunity to get involved).

And, then, there are the days that the magnetic unlock keys are nowhere to be found because the employees have misplaced them. Mostly forgetting to lock up a hanger and leaving the key on it, where it promptly disappears into a less than honest customer's pocket.

If you really want to secure stuff, put it in (real) key locking display cases and make employees sign out for the keys. Rekey the locks when keys come up missing.

Good luck,

Hooker

Your explanation information is very clear, but Invue as a professional secure hook company, their secure product will not happen what you worry. Regarding S3 key, S3 mean secure, show, sell, website www. Invuesecurity.com

Hello,

I'm wondering if you've found a solution to your problem.
Check out a company called InVue out of California.

I'm having a similar problem only I'm trying to find a company that can make custom sized locking grid wall hooks and deliver them within a week (InVue only makes 10" hooks and custom sizes have a 12 week lead time). We did find a company in China that may be able to help us out, but I'm a bit nervous of because of the lead time.

Let me know how it turns out.

Dear Friend,

My friend told me INVUE company is a famous security solution company, which specialize in security display hook(locking hook),but locking hook price is expensive, what is China company information, such as address , company,contact person, after all, chinese labor cost is cheap, naturally product price is low

You can try to find hook supplier from Ning Bo or Shenzhen, or contact invue product agency in China

Some supplier in Shenzhen City, China

Currently Chinese labor have hight production effieiency have China's factory have overtime work system, so do not worry about hook production lead time from China, but need to consider lead time for sea shipment. Where that China's company locate? If it is in Shenzhen city, or Guangzhou city, you should not worry about lead time becuase high production effiency.

Several companies in USA have similar securiy display hook with same theftproof function as INVUE, such as Locking Hooks, Inc,

they are Invue distributor in USA? If not, as per patent rule from USA, do they infringe INVUE Patent? Locking Hooks INC website show similar hook product, so confused.
