Secure Independence: The EZ‑Lock Wheelchair Docking System

Secure Independence: The EZ‑Lock Wheelchair Docking System

When it comes to wheelchair and power chair transportation, safety and simplicity shouldn’t be a compromise. Enter the EZ-Lock Wheelchair Docking System — a game‑changer in mobility securement that replaces cumbersome strap systems with a single point, automatic docking mechanism.

What Is EZ‑Lock?

Since 1986, EZ‑Lock has stood as the gold standard in wheelchair docking. It uses a docking base built from steel mounted to the vehicle floor and a matching bracket & pin attached to your wheelchair. Simply pull forward, and the chair locks into place. The onboard electronics even confirm a secure connection via illuminated indicators that can be mounted where you want.


As seen from the interior of a wheelchair van, a gray square metal dock is bolted down to the middle of the floor ,which is carpeted, in the middle section of a wheelchair van.

How EZ‑Lock Works

  1. The docking base is installed on your wheelchair accessible vehicle’s floor. The dock can be installed in either the driver position, front passenger position, or in the open area in the middle of a wheelchair van.

  2. The interface bracket & stabilizer are installed on your wheelchair.

  3. Drive in — the V‑shaped guide makes docking smooth.

  4. EZ-Lock indicator panel gives visual/audible confirmation shows LOCKED status.

  5. When exiting, press the release button (engine off) — and you’re released from the dock.
