The EZ Lock system gives the physically challenged driver, or passenger, a degree of independence not possible with other systems.  The EZ Lock does not require the attachment of cumbersome straps to the wheelchair, and an attendant is not required to engage or release the system.

The EZ Lock wheelchair restraint system is a simple and effective means of securing an occupied wheelchair in a moving vehicle.  Operation of the system couldn’t be easier.  The automatic locking mechanism simply requires that you guide the wheelchair over the top of the lock.  The lock then receives the wheelchair mounted interface, and holds it securely.  Once you have reached your destination, the wheelchair may be released with the touch of a conveniently located switch.

EZ Lock

Heavy gauge steel construction. Relentless crash sled testing. Meeting and exceeding every industry requirement. All part of what makes EZ Lock a true leader in long-lasting durability. And security. Once our base lock is mounted to the vehicle floor, it acts as receiver for the docking pin attached to the wheelchair, making your entry fully automatic, and minimizing the need for precise maneuvering.
