This style Straight Entry Scan Hook is an industry standard and available from several domestic manufacturers plus I must assume from overseas. In almost two-decades in the fixture industry I have never seen a double-lug failure like this. But in any event, dealing with reputable sources and requesting samples for store testing can help avoid this in your store. CLICK the thumbnail for a tight shot of the tines.
