Hello,

Our gates (Bibliotheca) stopped working years ago. We are leaving them in as a visual deterrent and are about to go with the overhead Traf-Sys system. We have not had significant loss.

Kind regards,

Are those of you whose gates are not working finding that more books and other things are being stolen?

Our gate stopped functioning after COVID and it can’t be fixed. We haven’t removed it yet.  We are still stripping the books though in case we decide to replace it.

If you don’t have a security gate, what are you using for a gate counter?  I want a bi-directional version so it counts in and out separately.  Looking for recommendations.

Thanks,
Erica

Dawn, Ours has been broken/non-functional for at least 5 years. Now we are trying to figure out how to remove it altogether, and fix the holes in the floor.

Top secret, but our security gate has been unplugged since we moved into this building 11 years ago… ;)
I’m wondering about the labeling/processing end of things, now that the RF stickers are phasing away.

In terms of an alternative, we have security gates through Bibliotheca.

We also used Checkpoint gates.
We are under construction right now for a retrofit and made the decision to just not use security gates going forward! 😬

We tested out dummy gates for a while at our smaller branch and had zero loss.
It's not a decision that works for every library, but the combination of factors made us really examine our loss ratios and we got admin support for the decision.

I'm sure this wasn't super helpful to you, but I couldn't resist chiming in since this decision was made final very recently! 😂

Hello,

I hear that Checkpoint is going out of business and that they are selling out their remaining RF Date Due and De-tuning supplies. Does anyone else use the Checkpoint security gate system? If so, have you identified a work-around or new product?

Thanks for your thoughts,

Dawn
