Frequently Asked Questions

What types of detachers are available and how do they work?

Leading Solutions stocks three main detacher types: magnetic detachers, which use a strong neodymium magnet to release the internal locking pin of hard tags; pin detachers, which push out a retractable pin mechanism; and hook or mechanical detachers, which use a lever action to release pencil or spider wrap tags. All are designed for fast, damage-free tag removal at the point of sale.

Are detachers compatible with all hard tag brands and EAS systems?

Most magnetic detachers are compatible with the majority of standard AM 58 kHz and RF 8.2 MHz hard tags regardless of brand, as the internal locking mechanism is largely standardised across Checkpoint, Sensormatic, Shopguard, and compatible generic brands. High-security Super Lock tags require a higher-strength detacher - check the product specification to confirm compatibility.

Why are detacher sales restricted to verified retailers only?

Detachers are controlled accessories because they can be misused to illegally remove EAS security tags from merchandise. Leading Solutions only supplies detachers to verified retail businesses - such as registered retailers, retail chains, and loss prevention professionals - to ensure these tools remain in legitimate commercial use in Australia.

How strong does a magnetic detacher need to be?

Detacher strength is measured in gauss. Standard hard tags require approximately 3,500 to 4,500 gauss to release. Super Lock or high-security tags require detachers rated at 10,000 to 12,000 gauss or more. Using an under-strength detacher will not release the tag, while an over-strength detacher may damage standard tags. Contact us to confirm the correct strength for your tag type.

Can one detacher handle both AM and RF tags?

Yes. Detachers operate mechanically and the tag's EAS frequency - AM 58 kHz or RF 8.2 MHz - does not affect the detaching process. Both AM and RF hard tags use the same pin locking mechanism, so a single magnetic detacher of the appropriate strength will work for both frequencies, provided the tag construction is compatible.

Does Leading Solutions offer bulk pricing on detachers for retail chains?

Yes. Trade and wholesale pricing on detachers is available to verified retail partners registered with Leading Solutions. Contact us at sales@leadingsolutions.net.au or call 1800-960-015 to confirm your business eligibility and discuss volume pricing for single stores or multi-site retail chains.
