Sunglasses displays secured

by Mark Rowe

Kesslers International designs and makes sunglasses displays for their customer Polaroid Eyewear. To minimise theft at the point of sale, Kesslers chose locks made by Camlock Systems.

Kesslers International, the retail merchandising product firm, was asked by customer Polaroid Eyewear to supply sunglasses displays for the Russian market. Kesslers has developed a range of display units including wall displays, free-standing rotating displays and smaller static units. A shackle for each pair of sunglasses drops down and when locked the sunglasses can only be removed by a member of staff.

Each panel holds 18 pairs of sunglasses and the same number of shackles. All shackles on each panel are secured by one lock. The rotating display comes with a lockable cupboard below the display unit.

Camlock Systems has provided the Series 31 to lock these display units. The product comes with a ten disc tumbler mechanism and up to 5,000 available key combinations. Kesslers specified the lock to be keyed alike, which means that all locks in a set have the same key combination. Where all locks in one set are made to different key combinations, a master key that operates all locks is optional. The keys are easy to insert the makers say due to the reversible double-sided design.

Kesslers opted for the lock to have a 90 degree key movement that holds the key trapped in the unlocked position, to help ensure retail staff secure the units after use. The lock has a positive-click index locking/unlocking action. This prevents the locking cam from falling back under its own weight.

The lock fits a standard 19mm by 16mm double ‘D’ hole piercing. It is made from die-cast zinc alloy and a bright chrome plate finish.
