dozens of industries, Lock America has d e v e l o p e d k i t s t h a t r e t r o f i t v i r t u a l l y every brand and model of dispenser on the market Its high security system is based on a non duplicatable key with over three million possible key codes, and a virtually pick proof detainer disk keyway Each Lock America customer gets its own key code, with multiple codes and master keying available for multi site operations.
Success relies on cheap “universal” locks on the dispenser, which allow pro fessional thieves quick and easy access into dispensers Dealers can stop these attacks with a simple, easy to install solution: Lock America’s High Security Retrofit Kit

If this weren’t enough, according to the FBI, skimmer gangs have begun covering their tracks by installing coun terfeit stickers and probably buying legitimate ones as well Any gang that can insert a small device to steal gas or credit card numbers is certainly capable of scanning a label and producing a convincing copy on an office printer

While takeout and delivered orders can be an important part of a restaurant’s business, too often it can make the wrong impression if the product spills in the bag or car on the way home, mak ing a mess At fault are the “clamshell” food containers and plastic “snap cap” cups typically used for transport. These not only do not seal securely, but also do not provide an oxygen barrier This means the take out and delivered food will not stay fresh for long
