Abstract
An anti-theft security device locks to a display board such as pegboard or slatboard to prevent the removal of the device from the display board and to prevent rapid removal of merchandise hanging from the device. Hooks are inserted in holes in the display board to connect the base of the device to the display board. The base includes an outer member and an inner member from which a pair of parallel rods extend outwardly away from the display board. The outer member is locked to the inner member to lock the device to the display board. The end assembly may pivot about one rod to an unlocked position to allow an employee to rapidly load items of merchandise onto the device.
