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.
