Previously the university's LCD/DLP mounts were secured by the hex-pin security screws which came with the mount. After a number of LCD/DLPs were stolen, the hex-pin screws were changed to Bryce Fastener's tamper-proof KEYED-LOK screws. The very next theft attempt was foiled. Security reported that the mount had been "worked over", but the LCD/DLP remained intact.

Due to the unique socket/key configuration developed specifically for the university, thieves were prevented from unscrewing the projector from the mount with bits available to the general public.

Digital light projectors are being targeted by thieves in universities around the nation. Though most LCD/DLPs are hung from ceiling mounts with tamper-resistant security screws, thieves are able to obtain the security bit tips causing an increasing number of thefts. Some universities have experienced as many as 10 DLP projectors stolen in one weekend - at monetary loss of up to $50,000.00.

Universities are scrambling to secure their LCD/DLPs. Many are turning to KEYED-LOK. KEYED-LOK is a low-cost, tamper-proof solution that works with standard DLP mounts. Because the socket/key configuration is individualized for each customer, the access to the bits are controlled - preventing theft and protecting property.

For a cost of about $1,000.00, universities can secure their LCD/DLP mounts as well as their other equipment. For more information on how KEYED-LOK can protect your application, call 1-800-558-1082.
