A good security plan for your store has several layers. For stores that show smartphones, tablets, smartwatches or laptops, the most important layer sits right on the display. That is where GRiPZO comes in. Our mechanical mounts lock demo devices in place, while your staff can release them in seconds with a key.
Why one measure is not enough
Every security measure has a weak spot. A camera records, but does not stop anyone. An alarm reacts, but only when a theft is already happening. Staff can keep an eye on things, but they cannot watch every display all the time. By combining several measures, you cover more of those weak spots.
For high-value devices on display, the question is simple. What stops someone from picking up the device and walking out with it? That is the layer that deserves the most attention.
The first layer is the device itself
A GRiPZO mount holds the device with adjustable steel grips and a mechanical lock. Customers can pick it up, use the screen and try the features while it stays on the display. Removing it without the key takes time, force and attention. There are no electronics, alarms or cables, so there is nothing to charge or maintain.
Because the grips are adjustable, one mount fits most modern phones. With the standard and XL mounts, tablets from 7 to 13 inches fit as well. See our mounts for smartphones, tablets and laptops.
The layers around it
Store layout and visibility
Place your secured devices where your team has a clear view, with good lighting and open sightlines. A secured device in a visible spot makes a theft attempt even less attractive.
Clear routines for staff
Agree on who has the keys and how devices are handled at opening and closing time. With a quick-release mount, removing all devices at night takes very little time, which makes it easier for your team to stick to the routine.
Other measures in the store
Measures such as cameras can support the rest of your plan, but they do not keep a device on the display. That is why the mount comes first.
What a layered approach gives you
When the display itself is secured, the other layers no longer have to do all the work. Your team spends less time watching displays and more time helping customers. Customers get the hands-on experience they want. And you reduce the risk of losing expensive demo devices.

Frequently asked questions
Do mounts get in the way of the shopping experience?
No. Customers can hold the device, feel its weight and test its features while it stays secured. For a closer look, your staff release it with the key.
Are cameras and alarms not enough?
They are useful, but they mostly react after something has happened. A mechanical mount makes taking the device harder in the first place, which is why it works well as the base layer for devices on display.
Is mechanical security hard to manage?
No. There is no power, software or charging involved. Locking and unlocking is done with a mechanical key, and staff learn it in minutes.
