Modular manual lift dispenser security systems and methods store and dispense at least one retail product. The systems and methods have a dispenser body having a floor and walls extending above the floor, wherein the walls of the dispenser body define an interior of the dispenser body that is sized to receive one or more retail products. Further, the systems and methods have a locking lid assembly slidably connected to a top edge of each side wall of the dispenser body via at least one fastener and a pusher paddle located within the interior of the dispenser body, wherein the pusher paddle is spring-loaded and configured to move one or more retail products towards the front wall of the dispenser body. Still further, the systems and methods have a first opening between a lip of the front wall of the dispenser body and a front edge of the locking lid assembly that is located adjacent to the front wall of the dispenser body, wherein the first opening is sized such that a leading retail product is passable through the opening between the lip of the front wall and the front edge of the locking lid assembly. Moreover, the systems and methods have a recess formed in the floor of the dispenser body and a lift slot formed in the front wall of the dispenser body, wherein the recess and lift slot are at least one of sized and shaped such that a leading retail product is accessible through the recess and lift slot.
