Professional retail security tag system setup for shops and retail premises - EAS equipment positioned, mounted securely, and ready for your supplier to configure. Physical installation sorted.
Protecting Your Stock
Retail security systems need proper installation. Poorly positioned pedestals and wobbly equipment undermine security. Professional setup means systems that work reliably.
💡 Pro tip: Position pedestals with enough gap for wheelchairs and pushchairs. Too narrow causes false alarms from passing traffic.

Frequently Asked Questions
What security systems?
Physical positioning and mounting of EAS pedestals, antenna systems, and tagging stations. We don't configure electronics - that's specialist supplier work.
Do you install the whole system?
We do physical setup - positioning pedestals, mounting equipment, cable management. Electronic programming and calibration needs your security supplier.
What about floor fixings?
Where systems need floor mounting, we install appropriate fixings. Some systems are freestanding. We assess what's needed.
Can this be done overnight?
Evening and weekend installation often works best for retail. Avoids trading disruption. Discuss timing when booking.
