                                  SCHEDULE 13D

     This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed on March 24, 1997, is filed on
behalf of TransTechnology Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Reporting
Person") for the purpose of reporting the decrease in the Reporting Person's
beneficial ownership of the common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Common
Stock"), issued by Mace Security International, Inc., a corporation organized
under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Issuer"). As of March 19, 1999,
the Reporting Person had disposed of an aggregate of 260,100 shares of the
580,000 shares of Common Stock previously owned by the Reporting Person, which
caused the Reporting Person's beneficial ownership of the Issuer's Common Stock
to fall below 5%, to 4.69% of the Issuer's Common Stock issued and outstanding.
As of March 29, 1999, the Reporting Person beneficially owned no shares of the
Issuer's Common Stock.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

         (a) As of March 29, 1999, the Reporting Person is the beneficial owner
of no shares of Common Stock.

         (c) The transactions in the Common Stock in the last 60 days by the
Reporting Person are set forth as follows:
