What we do (and what problems we solve)
- EAS systems & security tags for entrances, exits, and packaged goods.
- Retail security display stands for interactive devices such as phones, tablets, smartwatches, laptops, headphones, and small electronics.
- Safer/keeper boxes for boxed, high-risk merchandise that must stay visible yet protected.
We stock retail security supplies—tags, detachers, pins, lanyards, and bottle locks—to keep your lanes consistent and your teams trained on one simple playbook. Our EAS retail security solutions support both RF and AM standards so multi-brand estates can operate smoothly without constant retuning or exceptions.
We focus on the pain points you face daily: inflated detection specs that don’t hold up in-store, tangled cables and dated fixtures that hurt brand image, false alarms from poor deactivation or bad tuning, mismatched tags that under-detect, and vendors that promise “cheap” but leave you carrying the risk. Choosing a retail security company shouldn’t mean choosing between security and customer experience.
Product family #1: EAS systems & security tags (quality you can trust)
EAS is a mature category, which unfortunately means corners are often cut. We took the opposite path. Our antennas, deactivators, hard tags, ink tags, self-alarming spider tags, bottle locks, pins, lanyards, and AM/RF labels are built under a strict quality management system. Every lot is tested to ensure real-world detection at the lane and reliable deactivation at POS. Typical in factory defect rates are tightly controlled—AM/RF label defect rate around 0.3% and hard tag defect rate around 0.5%—so you aren’t paying to sort duds on the sales floor. Everything ships with a 2-year warranty because “works on day one” isn’t enough; it must work a year from now, too.
Compatibility matters. Our consumables and devices integrate well in mixed fleets and with the giants of the industry. Retailers operating legacy lanes or mixed estates (e.g., Sensormatic/Checkpoint ecosystems) rely on us because we focus on field performance, not just brochure numbers. If you need to standardize on RF (8.2 MHz) or AM (58 kHz), we’ll help you pick the right combination of EAS gates & deactivators, and tags for your fixtures, aisle widths, and budgets. See our EAS lineup here: EAS systems & tags (RF/AM).
Product family #2: Retail security display stands (beauty × function × innovation)
When shoppers love the demo, they buy. That’s why our display philosophy is simple: beauty, function, innovation. Many displays on the market still look like they were designed a decade ago—visible and messy wiring, chunky housings, high false-alarm rates, and weak anti-grab protection. We reimagined the category with clean industrial design, hidden cable routes, strong materials, and smart alarm options so your try-on zones are both inviting and secure. For interactive areas, our retail security alarms remain discreet and reliable—available as alarmed or non-alarmed setups matched to your risk and budget. Explore the category: Security display stands.
Flagship lines and where they shine
- MAS1008 — High-security, high experience phone stand with alarm and recoiler. Ideal for new-release islands where deterrence and play radius both matter.
- MBS1008 — Premium phone display with refined aesthetics and robust protection for lifestyle tables and brand zones.
- MCS1008 — Wireless anti-theft phone stand designed for ultra clean, cable free visuals when aesthetics and customer experience are paramount.
- MES1008 — Spring-cable alarm phone display for mid risk try-out areas that need simple upkeep.
- WDC1006 — Smartwatch charging display with elegant lines and strong anti lift protection; create that “arm-candy” moment and keep the row tidy.
- S-lock — All-metal laptop stand/bracket engineered for ultra high security and tamper resistance in high risk positions.
- E-lock — Dedicated laptop alarm mount using metal brackets for robust protection where notebooks are handled frequently.
- V-lock — Modular four-port alarm hub paired with purpose-built cables that secure laptops and compact electronics via their native ports and chassis points.
Think in combinations: alarmed vs non-alarmed, retractable (recoiler) vs locked-down. Use alarmed retractable for high-risk, high-value demos to deter grab-and-run yet keep a generous play radius; use non-alarmed or locked-down for medium-risk displays or dense traffic spots where tidy presentation is critical. As your retail security company partner, we’ll help map zones by risk and choose the right mix by table, wall bay, and endcap.
Product family #3: Safer / keeper boxes (50+ sizes and fast, low cost customization)
Boxed goods deserve to be seen, not locked away. Our transparent safer boxes make that possible while resisting pry, swap, and barcode tampering attempts. Choose from 50+ standard sizes, or open new tooling in ~20 days and receive mass production (~35 days for ~30,000 pcs). A single magnetic detacher workflow at POS keeps associates fast and consistent. Browse: Safer/keeper boxes.
Engineering depth you can feel
We design from the shelf outwards. Our engineers study how shoppers approach a demo unit, how associates tidy a table, and how thieves probe for weak points. That insight goes back into components you barely notice but use every day: low-profile cable entries that don’t snag, stronger fasteners where pry attempts occur, magnet placement that prevents accidental dislodging, and adhesives/pads selected for different surface energies. We validate materials (e.g., PC/ABS, anodized aluminum, optical-grade plastics) for strength, scratch resistance, and color stability under store lighting.
R&D and patents
Innovation isn’t a buzzword for us—it’s a process. We maintain a steady pipeline of POCs and pilot with partners before locking a design for scale. To date, our team has earned 16 patents covering alarm modules, recoiler mechanics, clamp ergonomics, and cable management. Need tweaks—logo plates, colorways, cable lengths, bracket geometry? We do that without breaking your rollout schedule.
Field-proven QC and acceptance testing
Before any EAS batch ships, we run detection field tests, label deactivation audits, and stress sampling to weed out drift. We also recommend a simple acceptance test you can perform at receiving: check deactivation on a sample of labels, confirm lane widths, and document baseline read rates. This shared discipline keeps surprises out of your stores and protects uptime.
Service for global and Latin American retailers
We support multi-language documentation and training. For Latin America in particular, we provide Spanish materials, remote walk-throughs, and region-aware shipping options to simplify pilots. Our logistics team coordinates consolidated shipments so you can launch multiple stores at once.
Sustainability and lifecycle thinking
Security hardware has a long life if designed well. Our safer boxes are reusable and maintain optical clarity; our displays use replaceable wear components so you don’t throw away an entire stand over a worn pad. We publish recycling guidance (see RoHS) and encourage refurbishment where sensible.

We vs. common suppliers (market pain → our approach)
- Pain: Over-promised detection (“1.8 m” on paper but only “1.2 m” in store).
Our approach: Calibrated testing, conservative specs, and deployment guides by fixture & lane width. - Pain: Dated form-factors with exposed wires and clunky housings.
Our approach: Hidden routing, slim housings, cohesive visual language that elevates brand tables. - Pain: High false-alarm rates from poor deactivation and mis tuned gates.
Our approach: Proper pairing of RF/AM, gate tuning SOPs, and training that reduces nuisance alarms (see NRF on retail shrink). - Pain: Low-security laptop displays that rely on adhesives alone.
Our approach: Metal-structure options like S-lock and E-lock, and V-lock hub-plus-cables for versatile port-level anchoring. - Pain: Boxed goods trapped in backrooms or behind counters.
Our approach: Clear safer boxes in 50+ sizes with one detacher workflow for speed at checkout. - Pain: Fragmented sourcing across tags, gates, displays, and boxes.
Our approach: One partner, one look, and parts that work together—your retail security company that owns the whole stack.

How we partner (in one page—no bureaucracy)
Discovery call → rapid selection using our RF vs AM and display option matrices → samples within days → A/B pilots in two to four stores → scale-up with stable supply, training, and simple maintenance SOPs. If you’re migrating from another brand, we’ll help you find a low-risk path—because a retail security company should reduce switching friction, not add to it.
