Abstract
A security device locks to a display structure such as a pegboard or slatboard to prevent the rapid removal of merchandise from the display structure by preventing the rapid removal of the entire security device. The security device includes a base and a rod with the base having locked and unlocked positions. The unlocked position of the base allows the security device to be removed from the display structure. The locked position of the base prevents the security device from being removed. The security device includes a lock that holds the base in the locked position. A key may be used to unlock the base. Customers may remove items of merchandise from the security device while the lock and base are in their locked positions.
