Abstract
Security systems and methods are provided. In one example, a security system includes at least one lock configured to protect one or more items from theft from a fixture, and a strike plate configured to be mounted to the fixture. The lock comprises a plunger pin configured to be moved between a locked state when in engagement with the strike plate and an unlocked state when disengaged from the strike plate, and the lock comprises a cam configured to move the plunger pin between the locked state and the unlocked state. The lock is configured to be moved between a latched position and an unlatched position while the lock is in the unlocked state, the fixture configured to be accessed in the unlatched position, and the strike plate is configured to move relative to the lock to align the lock with the strike plate when the lock is moved from the unlatched position to the latched position.
