Subject: RE: Security for DVD’s
Anyone responding to this thread, please post to the list.
We too are looking into this. We located a very nice locking
system that is supplied by both Demco and Gaylord. The
problem is that the manufacturer does not make cases for
anything more than 2 discs. We order many multi-disc sets.
The clear half (or whole) adhesive security overlay is difficult to
Position correctly and causes DVD reading problems in some
cases. The donut disc also causes reading problems in some
DVD players.

To make our DVD collections more secure, we invested in
DEMCO's Kwik security cases. Checkpoint security coils can be
affixed to the cases for those libraries using Checkpoint systems.
We have reduced the rate of DVD loss considerably by
implementing this type of security.
