ABSTRACT:
A lock is disclosed for securing merchandise products onto a hook of the type adapted for mounting onto a pegboard or other support. The lock includes a housing having an internal cavity which is formed with a cradle for seating the tip of the hook. A slot formed in the housing enables ingress and egress of the hook tip toward and away from a seated position in the cradle. A latch is pivotally mounted in the housing and the latch is moveable to a latched position at which the hook tip is captured in its seated position in the cradle. The latch is releasably held in its latched position by a nib on the housing which engages a depression on the latch. Operation of a key causes the latch to pivot toward an unlatched position at which the hook tip is enabled to be unseated from the cavity for egress out of the cavity, permitting the lock to be separated from the hook.
