Reel Retrievers & Mini Reels

Reel Retrievers and Mini Reels are used most often in retail settings like electronic, cosmetic, or pharmaceutical displays to ensure the security of products while providing customers the opportunity to pick up and view the product’s features. We produce Reel Retrievers and Mini Reels with a variety of different end configurations and finishes to secure various types of product to your existing fixtures.

Adaptable, strong and reliable, the Reel Retriever, or “return reel“, is a versatile, efficient device that offers theft-deterrence and customer convenience for point-of-purchase displays. A compact box which is securely fastened to a display contains a spring-loaded, retracting cable assembly. The reusable cable is positively attached to the product, allowing customers to handle products in stores while the products remain secure and displays are kept in order.

The Mini Reel is our small profile solution for projects requiring maximum security with minimum space. The compact design has a slim profile that provides the same security as our full-size Reel Retriever.

The Reel Retriever is perfect for use on displays of cameras, cell phones, golf equipment, power tools, shoes, TV remote controls, video games and many other products that are intended to be handled by customers. Utilizing a nylon-coated, braided, 7×7 stainless steel aircraft cable, Reel Retriever is available in many pull forces with cable lengths ranging from 6″ to 72″. A variety of interchangeable round or rectangular plastic ends (with or without adhesive) are also available.
