If you are a bar owner and you are experiencing theft in your establishment, you will want to pay attention right about now. You might not think that you have any options to secure your liquor other than hiding it and locking it up in a cabinet. Liquor bottle security technology has greatly advanced in recent years. Assuming that saving money and reducing loss from theft sound good to you, these awesome little gadgets are definitely something you’ll want to look into for your business.
Alpha security has developed an entire line of products made specifically for wine and liquor bottle security. For a bar, bottle locks are a must have. They have a product that fits nearly every type of liquor and wine bottle. These devices aren’t some huge bulky thing that looks like a padlock, they are very sleek looking, and fit right on top of the bottles.
Not only do the bottle locks have an alarm that sounds if the lock is being tampered with, but they also work in benefit denial. What this means is that if someone tries to remove one of the locks, they will damage the bottle. Think of it like a bank robber who gets the big bag of cash and think they are home free, but then the dye pack ruins all of the money with ink, rendering it useless. Although dye packs will not be exploding on your liquor bottles, it’s the same principle, denying the thief the benefits of the product.
So you’re probably wondering how you attach and remove the locks from the wine and liquor bottles. It’s a very quick and easy process. There is a special key that is used with the locks, that is small enough to be carried around by a bartender or manager. I would recommend ordering a few of the keys, keeping one as a backup, and limiting access to the others with a log that your team can sign them in and out. This will ensure that you know exactly has had their hands on them.
Also, if you already have an existing EAS (Electronic Article Surveillance) system or plan to integrate one into your liquor bottle security strategy, Alpha security carries EASy bottle locks as well. These devices still offer benefit denial, but will also cause your EAS system to sound an alarm at the door if someone passes through the antennas with the device attached to your inventory.
With this in mind, potential thieves would think twice about even attempting to steal your products. What would be the point? They will most likely take one look at the bottle locks and not even waste their time trying. They’ll just go hit a neighboring establishment that doesn’t require as much work to get their score. That’s the beauty of these products. Just seeing the devices on a bottle provides a visual deterrence, and will stop most would be thieves in their tracks.
The team at Alpha security have really thought of everything with their bottle security product line. These are extremely durable devices that provide the best protection, and the products are visually pleasing, so you can display them proudly without your customers being put off by some crazy looking contraption attached to your bottles.

There are a lot of options when it comes to product protection. First, you can simply limit the number of items you display. Try to always keep at least one out for your customer to see; hiding everything behind the counter will not work to benefit your bottom line. People don’t typically read the sign where the item would be located telling them to come ask at the checkout. If they do read it, they still may resist the mouse in a maze effort it takes to come find the item and beg for it from your high-theft item gatekeeper. In today’s world there are more customer friendly Anti-Shoplifting devices to choose from. Depending on what you need to protect, and how it’s packaged, you should be taking a look at Alpha Keepers and Spider Wraps, among others.
These keep the items on the shelves, and the customer can still see it, touch it, and know it’s in stock. When would you choose to apply the Spider Wrap? Have you ever picked up a box in a store with “display box only” written on the packaging? Again, the gatekeeper comes into play here. What if there’s only one left, the one that came from that display box? I’ll be asking for a discount if I have to buy that one, you can bet! There’s no need for that awful display box anymore. Just put the Spider Wrap around it, lock it, and you’re good to go. The customer can still pick up the box, knowing the item is in it, and come right up to your checkout, which happens to be clean, neat, and not cluttered up with locked away merchandise.
Another fantastic Anti-Shoplifting device is the Alpha Keeper. A few years ago, our area was inundated with cough medicine theft by teenagers looking to get high. They wanted dextromethorphan. There was one item in particular they wanted, Coricidin HBP. I kept noticing it was moving, and thought I was selling a lot of it, so I ordered more. Then when I compared what I was buying to what I was selling, I figured out it was walking out the door. Stories were coming out about this medicine being a hot commodity at local high schools. Our store was located near a neighborhood full of kids and teens. I started watching the section for activity, and found that it was stocked to the shelves on Tuesday afternoons, and the kids started coming that evening looking for it. I had some extra Alpha Keepers in the back and started putting the packages in them before they went to the sales floor. It didn’t take long for word to get out. The kids came in and checked out the Keeper boxes, and tried to figure them out. They didn’t like them because they were too bulky to easily conceal, and they have that pesky alarm that will sound if they try to take them through the Checkpoint pedestals up front. Those Alpha Keepers put a stop to the thefts, and I’d like to think cut down on some of the cough medicine abuse in the community. How many other five-second Anti-Shoplifting methods do you have in your business?
The Alpha Keepers are clear, so especially for medications, the customers can still read the directions for use, dosages and any warnings. These devices are out there for you so do some research and see which ones can help make your retail life a little easier.

The local library has a societal responsibility to be a community resource. As a leader in information, libraries need to find ways to stay current and relevant. In this digital and technological era, libraries need to embrace and promote the latest in technologies. One way is to utilize a library theft detection system.
Many library theft detection systems are based off of technology similar to a retail environment. They use labels from checkpoint systems that generate an alarm at the exit doors if the label is active. During the checkout process, the labels are deactivated, and reactivated when the library materials are checked back in.
Just like the retail environment, these labels must be easily deactivated, as not to inconvenience the library patron. A deactivator pad should be in a location that is easily accessible to the library’s checkout stations. Since Checkpoint Systems are not directly tied into the rest of the check in/ out process, the deactivator pads can be placed wherever it will be most convenient for the library employees.
An additional feature is that these systems can be flexible in their cost. If the library is small, maybe only one deactivator pad is needed, and then shared between checkout stations. If more are needed as the library expands, then the deactivator pads can be added in.
Visit the Loss Prevention Store to purchase Library Theft Detection System devices and your Electronic Article Surveillance or EAS system from Checkpoint Systems to stop inventory losses.
