Smartphones, tablets and smartwatches are most at risk once they are unpacked and placed on your display. That is exactly where GRiPZO comes in. Our mechanical mounts lock demo devices on the display while customers use them, and your staff release them in seconds with a key.
Where devices are most exposed
Before a device reaches the shop floor, it is packed and out of reach of customers. On the display that changes. The device is switched on and placed where anyone can pick it up. That is what you want for sales, but it also makes the display the easiest place for a thief.
According to the National Retail Federation (National Retail Security Survey 2023), US retailers lost an estimated $112.1 billion to shrink in 2022. That figure covers all US retail, not only electronics, and dates from 2022. Still, it shows how much is at stake when products go missing.
Why the display needs its own security
Good routines for deliveries and stock counts help you know what you have. But once a device is on display, those routines no longer protect it. At that moment, what matters is how easy it is to pick the device up and walk away with it.
How GRiPZO secures the display
A GRiPZO mount holds the device with adjustable steel grips and a mechanical lock. Customers can use the device freely, and staff release it with the key. There are no electronics, alarms or cables, so nothing needs to be charged or maintained.
- The device stays locked on the display during opening hours.
- Staff release it in seconds for a sale or a closer look.
- At closing time, all devices come off the display quickly for safe storage.

Open displays without extra risk
Locked glass cabinets or dummy devices keep products safe, but customers cannot try them. That makes it harder to sell. With a GRiPZO mount, customers can hold the real device, feel its weight and test the camera while it stays secured. You get an open display and keep control.

Frequently asked questions
Are good stock routines not enough?
Stock routines show you what is missing, but they do not keep a device on the display. A mechanical mount does. The two work well side by side.
Will mounts put customers off?
No. Customers can use the device freely while it is secured. It often feels more inviting than a device behind glass.
Which devices should we secure first?
Start with the most expensive and most popular devices on your display, usually the newest smartphones and tablets.
