Gilbarco Veeder-Root Releases New Dispenser Security Options

GREENSBORO, NC--(Marketwired - October 11, 2016) - Gilbarco Veeder-Root announced the release of its new Reinforced Lower Panel and Custom Lock options. With fuel theft at stores is a growing concern, some estimates as high as $1,500 annually per store, the new reinforced lower panel offers improved theft protection and is a direct replacement for the standard Encore lower panel. The custom lock features unique key codes to increase the security of retailers' sites or networks. These upgrade options are available with new units as a factory install. The reinforced lower panel is also an easy, cost-effective, security-field upgrade to retailers' existing dispensers.

"Our newest security enhancements for the Encore 500 S and Encore 700 S models -- the reinforced lower panel and custom lock options -- will provide unmatched protection of the electronic and hydraulic components from thieves looking to steal card data or fuel," said Danny Seals, Gilbarco Product Marketing Manager, Retail Dispensers. "The reinforced lower panel is made from heavy-gauge steel and provides a puck-lock, ready solution as an OEM fit to the Encore. The custom locks can be uniquely keyed to a retailer's particular site or across their network."

The reinforced lower panel option provides an increased level of physical barrier to prevent entry into the dispenser. With these improved locking features, feet at the bottom and actuating bars, prying the door open will be more difficult. The custom locks are UL approved in Gilbarco dispensers with an anti-drill pin inside the lock to prevent drilling. Gilbarco will coordinate the install on new builds to further enhance the retailer's peace of mind.

Gilbarco will be exhibiting its newest technologies and solutions at Booth #4331 at the NACS Show at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA from October 19 - 21.
