Wedges
Door wedges from Zip's AW Direct provide just enough clearance between the window and door frame to insert a long-reach tool or other car-unlocking device from Access Tools and other manufacturers. Hard nylon window wedges are normally tapered to gradually gain space, while inflatable wedges like the Air Jack can slip through narrow openings and then enlarge with the use of a hand air pump.

Wedges for Vehicle Lockouts
Wedges are essential tools for professional vehicle entry, providing the leverage needed to create separation between car doors and frames. These tools are used in conjunction with long-reach tools, air pumps, and other lockout accessories to safely unlock vehicles without causing damage. Whether you’re a tow operator, locksmith, or first responder, having the right wedge ensures a fast, efficient, and professional job.
Why Choose a Lockout Wedge
A proper lockout wedge, whether it is a plastic wedge or an inflatable air wedge, allows operators to gently open gaps in doors or windows to access locking mechanisms. Air wedge lockout tools are particularly useful because their inflatable design enables precise control over the separation process. These tools reduce the risk of scratches, dents, or seal damage while providing optimal leverage.
Plastic wedges, on the other hand, offer a simple, durable solution for smaller gaps or quick access scenarios. Both types are indispensable components of any professional lockout workflow.

FAQ: Lockout Wedges
What is a lockout wedge used for?
A wedge is used to create separation between a car door or window frame and the body, allowing tools to reach the lock mechanism safely.
How do air wedges differ from plastic wedges?
Air wedges can be inflated to create controlled separation, while plastic wedges provide a simple, solid solution for smaller gaps or quick access.
Can I use a wedge without a full lockout kit?
While a wedge can be used alone, pairing it with a complete Lockout Kit ensures faster, safer vehicle entry.
Are all wedges compatible with all vehicles?
Most wedges are versatile, but some vehicles with tight door seals or armored panels may require a specific size or type, such as the Big Easy Lockout Wedge.
How do I prevent damage when using a wedge?
Insert the wedge carefully, avoid overinflating air wedges, and always follow manufacturer instructions for your tools.
