Power tools are the most stolen items in home improvement retail, and the security measures designed to protect them are increasingly costing stores sales. Locked displays, shared key codes, and rigid fixture solutions create friction that drives customers away before they buy.

The most commonly used InVue solutions in hardware and home improvement retail include Zips, Cable Lock and Cable Lock Anchor for powered and non-powered tool displays, StopLok and IR StopLok for hanging merchandise, Package Wrap for boxed goods, LIVE Locks for merchandise in cages or stockrooms and the OneKEY ecosystem for centralized access control across the full store. Our team can help match the right combination to your specific layout, product mix, and security priorities.
The most effective approach combines physical deterrence with customer accessibility. InVue’s Zips, Cable Lock or Cable Lock Anchor solutions tether powered and non-powered tools to their displays with a cable that triggers an alarm on unauthorized removal, while still allowing customers to pick up, handle, and test the product. Paired with the OneKEY ecosystem for controlled associate access, it eliminates the shared-code problem and keeps your most valuable merchandise both secure and interactive.
No. The goal is the opposite. By replacing multiple keys, codes, and processes with a consistent access method, associates spend less time unlocking and more time helping customers.
No. Solutions are designed to work with your existing fixtures—peg hooks, shelves, cabinets, and displays—so you can improve security without changing your layout.
Yes. InVue’s product line is designed to retrofit onto existing store fixtures including pegboard, slatwall, Unistrut, and gridwall displays, without requiring a store redesign or fixture replacement. Whether you’re securing power tools on a wall display, hanging accessories on peg hooks, or protecting packaged merchandise at the end of an aisle, InVue has a solution that integrates with what you already have.
InVue’s hanging merchandise security solutions, including StopLok and IR StopLok, are designed specifically for peg hooks, slatwalls, and gridwall displays. They prevent walk-off theft of smaller, high-theft items like Diablo blades, tool batteries, and accessories while keeping product accessible for customers. These solutions are particularly effective in DIY categories where accessories are just as valuable and vulnerable as the tools themselves.
Large-format DIY stores need solutions that work without constant associate involvement. InVue’s alarm-based display security deters theft at the point of interaction, so your floor team isn’t required to unlock every product for every customer. The OneKEY ecosystem also consolidates access management storewide, meaning one key handles every cabinet, display, and fixture, reducing the time associates spend locating and managing keys across a large footprint.
For your own personal collection of power tools, it is recommended to engrave them with identifying information. When not in use, remove all batteries and keep tools locked in a secure area. For retail environments, the approach is different. Physical marking alone is not a sufficient deterrent for display merchandise. InVue’s alarmed display solutions attach directly to the product and trigger an alarm on unauthorized removal, while the OneKEY ecosystem logs every associate access event, giving your LP team a complete audit trail of who accessed what, when, and where.
By combining physical security with controlled access, you reduce opportunities for theft while maintaining visibility and accessibility—helping protect high-risk products without impacting sales.
They’re designed to keep products accessible. Customers can still pick up, handle, and interact with merchandise, while products remain protected.
