Abstract
A device and method for providing selective concealment and access to items stored on an overhead part of a retail shelving system. The device includes one or more mounting posts attachable to the retail shelving system and one or more panel support units. The mounting posts further include one or more substantially vertical channels. The panel support unit is engaged with the mounting posts and extends above the retail shelving system. The panel support unit is selectively moveable between an open configuration and a closed configuration such that when in the open configuration the panel support unit is displaced to provide access to the items stored on the overhead part of the retail shelving system, and when in the closed configuration the panel support unit conceals the items stored on the overhead part of the retail shelving system.
