A retention device for inhibiting removal of carded merchandise from a display hook, adapted for retrofit installation in existing loop hooks commonly used to display such merchandise. A flat plastic body, grooved along its side edges, can be inserted between and lockingly retained by the spaced apart wire elements of the U-shaped loop hook. An integral, resiliently deflectable tongue extends upward and rearward from the flat body and prevents removal of the merchandise cards unless the tongue is depressed. A flexibly hinged outer positioning member carries a locking tab, engageable with outer extremities of the loop hook, to secure the device in position after installation.
