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.

The picture to the left illustrates the wheelchair bracket applied to a standard manual wheelchair. The application pictured also includes the front stabilizer, required for all drivers. The stabilizer is designed to minimize any tipping or side-to-side motion. The EZ Lock system is used for both manual and power wheelchairs, and is suitable for both drivers and passengers.


Hand Controls for Handicap Vehicles

Hand ControlsHand controls are designed to allow drivers to operate the gas and brake pedals without the use of their feet. The motorcycle style handgrip is attached to a rod that travels down the steering column and is bolted to the gas and brake pedals. The brake is applied by pushing the operatng handle directly forward. The accelerator is applied by pushing the handle down and to the right. Able body drivers can continue to use the pedals as OEM after the modification. The hand controls can be easily removed and reinstalled into a different vehicle.
