Magnetic Unlock System
High-Intensity Magnetic Field
Employs 6,000–17,000 GS magnetic force to dislodge steel balls within hard tag lock mechanisms, enabling non-destructive removal.
Universal Compatibility
Works with standard hard tags across various EAS systems, using detachers designed for broad lock configurations.
Specialized Tools for EAS

Requires precision-engineered detachers for high-security tags with reinforced clutches and dual-lock mechanisms.

Seamless Alarm Integration
Safely releases tags while maintaining alarm functionality, ensuring undetached items trigger exit-gate alerts.

3-STEP PROCESS

Tag Attachment

TAG ATTACHMENT

A metal pin pierces the item and engages a spring-loaded steel ball mechanism within the tag, securing it in place. This usually happens in stores, but for special needs, the tag can also be attached at the factory, a practice called source tagging.

Tag Detachment

TAG DETACHMENT

Trained personnel align the tag with a magnetic detacher, retracting steel balls to release the pin.
Alarm Activation

ALARM ACTIVATION

Undetached tags emit electromagnetic signals through EAS gates, triggering alarms to prevent shoplifting.

MAGNETIC UNLOCKING

Precision Security for Retail Loss Prevention

Magnetic unlocking is the standard method to remove EAS hard tags, utilizing 6,000–12,000 GS magnets to override lock cylinder. Universal detachers handle most tags (e.g., clothing, eyewear), while specialized tools target high-security designs. Proper alignment and magnetic strength are critical to avoid item damage or residual magnetism . Notably, the magnetic field strength of detachers gradually decays over time. Industry practice and material science recommend replacing magnetic unlockers every 2 to 3 years to maintain consistent unlocking performance

FAQs

Insufficient strength may fail to retract the steel balls fully, leaving the tag partially locked and making it difficult to remove. Suggestion: Buy the tag and detacher from the same supplier to avoid disputes.
Industry guidelines recommend replacing them every 2–3 years due to gradual magnetic field decay.
Universal detachers handle most common tags, but high-security tags such as ID Lock™ Tags require a specialized detacher with encryption of ID pairs between tags and detachers.
