A lockset includes a housing, a rotary hook, a driving device, and a lock body. The rotary hook is disposed in the housing and includes front end portions and rear end portions. At least part of the front end portions extends out of the housing. The driving device includes a force application member, a first driving member, and a second driving member. The force application member includes a force bearing portion and a force application portion respectively disposed outside and inside the housing. The force bearing portion is connected to and is rotatable with the force application portion. The first driving member is rotatable with the force application portion. The second driving member is rotatable with the first driving member to change an opening width of the front end portions. The lock body restricts a movement of the driving device when closed.

An anti-theft mounting device for securing a component to a mounting surface is disclosed. The anti-theft mounting device includes a first counterpart, a second counterpart, and a fastener. The first counterpart, the second counterpart and the fastener are co-operatively configured such that the first counterpart and the second counterpart are configured for connection in a connected state such that a component-engager is established. The component-engager defines a component-receiving space including a component-engaging surface. While the first counterpart and the second counterpart are disposed in the connected state and the fastener is connected to the mounting surface, the first counterpart is connected to the second counterpart via at least the fastener, and the component-engager is connected to the mounting surface via at least the fastener.

An anti-theft device for securing an article of merchandise against unauthorized removal from a display counter. The anti-theft device includes a plurality of arms configured to immobilize the article of merchandise relative to a tray. At least one arm is operated by an electromechanical release mechanism between closed and opened positions. When the electromechanically actuated arm is in the closed position, the article of merchandise is immobilized relative to the tray. When the electromechanically actuated arm is transitioned into the open position, the article of merchandise can be removed from the tray. The anti-theft device may include a locking mechanism configured to transition between a locked configuration, in which the arms are immobilized relative to the tray, and an unlocked configuration, in which the arms can be extended or retracted relative to the tray.

A system and method of authentication-based operation of a lock mechanism include detecting an authentication signal from an electronic authentication module, authenticating the authentication signal using a stored user profile, wherein the stored user profile is used for login authentication purposes and includes at least user data, and when the authentication signal is authenticated, activating an electromechanical mechanism to release a latch switch associated with a lock mechanism.

This document describes a high-security mounting system for retail device display. The mounting system includes a shelf and table system having a variety of security features that help reduce theft of electronic devices presented for retail display. The devices are mechanically fastened to a stand, which is mechanically fastened to a mounting surface of the mounting system using a series of holes defined in the mounting surface. A tray is fastened to an underside of the mounting surface and is usable to house the devices' electrical cords extending through the holes. A rigid placemat is attached to the stand and wraps around an edge of the mounting surface to capture a portion of the underside of the mounting surface to resist a pull force on the stand. Optionally, a riser can be used to adapt a device's configuration of mounting hardware to the holes in the mounting surface.

A cooler access control system locks a cooler when occurrence of an event is detected that requires limiting access to the inside of the cooler. Examples of such events include the loss of power to the cooler for a predetermined period of time, the opening of the cooler door for longer than an allowed time, the loss of functionality of a temperature probe and others. In an embodiment, a service mode is supported wherein the door is left unlocked despite the occurrence of such an event, to allow a stocker or other personnel to leave the cooler door open while stocking the cooler with product.

An object anchoring assembly includes a housing that can be positioned on a horizontal support surface having an object being positioned on top of the housing. A plurality of arms is each slidably integrated into the housing and each of the arms is positionable in a retracted position or an extended position. A plurality of engagements is each is movably integrated into a respective one of the arms. Additionally, each of the engagements engages the housing at a variety of locations to retain the arms at a selected degree of extension to accommodate dimensions of the object placed on the housing. A coupler is movably coupled to the housing to engage the support surface thereby inhibiting the housing from sliding on the support surface.

A system for securing a device having a case and a security feature integrated into the device. The system has a device security apparatus removably mountable on the device by the security feature on the case of the device. The device security apparatus may include a base element configured to mount on the device by releasably engaging the security feature of the device, and may further include a securing element removably mounted on the base element. The securing element may include at least one of a plurality of modules configured to interchangeably mount on the base element. The plurality of modules may include a mechanical connection module configured to physically connect the device security apparatus to an object, and a monitoring module configured to monitor movement of the device security apparatus and any device connected to the device security apparatus.
