A security tag is a small, electronic device attached to merchandise to prevent shoplifting. The tag is typically made of plastic and contains a sensor that triggers an alarm when it passes through a security gate. Security tags can be used on a variety of items, including clothing, electronics, and cosmetics.
There are a few different ways to remove a security tag. One common method is to use a special tool called a “tag detacher.” Tag detachers are available for purchase online or at most hardware stores. To use a tag detacher, simply insert the tool into the slot on the security tag and squeeze the handles together. This will break the sensor and allow you to remove the tag from the merchandise.
