Retractable anti-theft pull boxes, hook stop locks or open pegboard hooks — which should I use?
A:Decide from three factors, not from the fitting itself: shrinkage value, whether the customer must physically handle the item, and staffing level. These are three separate product lines in our checkout and anti-theft range, so the choice is a fit question rather than a compromise.
JV-15 to JV-17Retractable anti-theft pull box
JV-26Hook stop lock + magnetic key
JL-60 to JL-62Heavy duty pegboard hook
Which fitting for which situation
| Situation | Recommended fitting | Why |
|---|---|---|
| High-value items the customer must pick up and compare | Retractable anti-theft pull box (JV-15 to JV-17) | Item stays on open display; the recoil cable limits how far it can travel |
| Pegboard hook holding high-value small items | Hook stop lock (JV-26) with magnetic key | Locks the hook itself; staff release it with the magnetic key |
| High-volume snacks, batteries, household accessories | Open pegboard hook (JL-60 to JL-62) | Fast restock and no key handling at peak hours |
| The checkout lane itself | Cashier pause divider (JV-10 to JV-12) | Separates customer baskets — a lane flow item, not a security lock |
Practical points buyers ask about
- Cable travel — check the pull box recoil length against the distance from the display to where the customer stands, not just the box body size.
- Key management — one magnetic key per bay keeps operations simple; stop locks and their keys are specified together.
- Load rating — heavy duty pegboard hooks are rated per hook, which matters for multipacks; check the rating, not only the hook length.
- Fitting compatibility — confirm whether your store uses pegboard or slotted rail before ordering, because hook fittings differ between the two.
The trade-off to accept
Anti-theft fittings reduce shrinkage but also reduce units sold per hour of selling time — a pull box must be reset, and a locked hook needs a staff member with the key. Most retailers roll them out on one monitored bay first, measure shrinkage for a month, then extend.
Browse anti-theft pull boxes and stop locks by cable length and lock type.
