What
is EZ Lock?
The EZ Lock wheelchair restraint system is a simple and effective
means of securing an occupied wheelchair in a moving vehicle.
Operation of the EZ Lock system couldn't be easier. The automatic
locking mechanism simply requires that you guide your wheelchair
over the top of the lock until the interface on your wheelchair
is fully engaged. Once you have reached your destination, release
the wheelchair from the system with the touch of a conveniently
located push-button switch. The system is controlled by state
of the art electronics, which are accessed through the user-friendly
ECU control panel. This panel controls release, deactivation
of the alarm for unoccupied use, and an array of warning indicators
to advise you of the status of the system.
The
Freedom You Deserve
The EZ Lock wheelchair restraint system provides the physically
challenged driver, or passenger, a degree of independence not
possible with other systems. The EZ Lock system does not require
cumbersome tie-down belts or straps to be attached to the wheelchair,
and an attendant is not needed to engage or release the system.
Built-in safety features include:
Sturdy all steel construction
Visual & audible alarms
Dependable solid state electronics
Ignition inhibited release circuit
Emergency manual release
Our system has been independently tested to the 30 mph/20g standard.
In these test the EZ Lock system has consistently proven its
effectiveness at securing the wheelchair, on the crash sled
and in real life collisions.
EZ Lock has a proven track record, and we have many testimonials
from satisfied users actually involved in severe collisions.

How it works
The basic EZ Lock system consists of two main components, the
EZ Lock base and the wheelchair mounted hardware. The EZ Lock
base, which is mounted to the floor of the vehicle, is a low
profile docking station (8"W x 10"L x 2.25"H)
constructed of heavy gauge 3/16" steel.
The
EZ Lock base acts as the receiver for the heavy duty 5/8"
docking pin, which is attached to the wheelchair.
The
base and wheelchair mounted hardware are designed to withstand
repeated operation and when properly maintained will provide
many years of service.
The
wheelchair mounted hardware is designed for your specific wheelchair,
and hardware is available for most of the popular wheelchairs
manufactured in the United States, Canada and Europe.
