Frequently Asked Questions

What are padlock tags and how do they differ from standard hard tags?

Padlock tags are self-contained EAS security tags with an integrated locking mechanism that clamps directly onto merchandise without needing separate pins or lanyards. Unlike pin-based hard tags, they are designed for items such as handbags, shoes, boxed goods, and thicker fabrics where passing a pin through the product is impractical.

Are padlock tags compatible with AM and RF EAS systems?

Yes. Padlock tags from Leading Solutions are available in both AM 58 kHz and RF 8.2 MHz formats to match the EAS gates already installed in your store. Using the correct frequency ensures reliable detection at EAS pedestals from brands such as Checkpoint and Sensormatic.

Do padlock tags require a special detacher for removal at the point of sale?

Yes. Padlock tags require an authorised detacher or detacher pad for safe removal. Leading Solutions supplies compatible detacher tools in the Detachers collection. Using the correct detacher prevents damage to merchandise and allows the padlock tag to be recovered and reused.

Can padlock tags be reused across multiple stock cycles?

Yes. Padlock tags are designed to be reused many times across merchandise cycles. Once removed with an authorised detacher at the point of sale, the tag is recovered, inspected, and applied to the next stock item. This makes them a cost-effective EAS solution for high-volume retailers.

What types of merchandise are padlock tags best suited to in NZ retail?

Padlock tags are best suited to handbags, footwear, belts, boxed accessories, electronics accessories, and sporting goods - items where pin application is difficult or would damage the product. Their compact size and visible deterrent design make them popular in fashion retail, pharmacy, and sporting goods stores across New Zealand.

Does Leading Solutions offer bulk pricing on padlock tags for New Zealand retailers?

Yes. Padlock tags are available in bulk for New Zealand retailers and loss-prevention teams. Trade buyers can register as wholesale partners through the Leading Solutions website to access volume pricing, consolidated orders, and 1-business-day dispatch from Auckland.
