We Know Wheelchair Docking Systems...

For those who rely on their wheelchair as seating in their vehicle; the EZ Lock system is the absolute best solution for travel safety and security.

The EZ Lock Wheelchair Docking System easily secures a wheelchair to the vehicle floor; saving you both time and effort.

Even better, the automatic docking base allows the user to lock the wheelchair into place without the assistance of others. No more struggling to cinch the straps down; no more hassle. We do our best to make it easy for you to meet your mobility needs; whether your driving or just enjoying the ride.

EZ Lock is perfectly suited for both wheelchair seated passengers and drivers. In fact, no other adaptive device provides for more freedom of mobility, or enhances the user's overall level of independence, than the EZ Lock Wheelchair Docking System does.

You can also have confidence that the EZ Lock installed by Automotive Innovations Bridgewater, MA is a tried and true system, with more than two decades of proven performance.

The EZ Lock the wheelchair docking system is one of our many specialties. Our focus, coupled with knowledge and professionalism ensures that you get the finest docking system available.

EZ Lock... & Automotive Innovations products you can trust; Performance you can count on.

How It Works...

Using the EZ Lock Docking System simply requires that you guide your wheelchair into the docking base until the interfacing bracket attached to the wheelchair locks securely into place.


Here, the docking pin attached to the demo “wheelchair” is aligned and ready to engage the docking base.

The “V” shaped structure at the opening of the docking base helps to guide the wheelchair into position.

Locks the Wheelchair Securely into the Docking Base...

Once in position, just pull forward a few inches and the wheelchair engages the docking base. The pin attached to the interface bracket is captured by a pair of steel 1/4” locking levers and is securely held in place by the docking base.

Interface brackets are available for many different wheelchairs, including both power and manual models.

Once the wheelchair is securely locked into the docking base, the dependable ECU-3 electronics monitor your docking status the duration of your trip.

Electronics You Can Count On...

Our electronics have a reputation for dependability. The touchpad control has an array of clearly visible indicators to monitor the docking status of the wheelchair, an audible alarm, and large back-lit buttons for release and system deactivation.

The green light indicates the wheelchair is fully engaged in the docking base. The yellow light indicates the wheelchair is NOT fully engaged with the docking base. The user must exit the docking base and re-attempt until fully engaged.

The flashing red light indicates the system has been deactivated for occasions where the docking base is not occupied by a wheelchair. The “deactivated” mode is only used when the docking system is NOT occupied by a wheelchair. The audible alarm and release are disabled in this mode. To release the wheelchair from the docking system; turn off the vehicle’s ignition and press the release switch.

A Proven Record of Success...

At EZ Lock we refuse to cut corners when your safety is at stake. We use only the highest grade materials; from the sturdy all-steel construction of the docking base...to the refined, nearly "bullet-proof" control electronics.

Convenience is one thing, but confidence is quite another, and you can be confident that the EZ Lock has what it takes to protect you. The EZ Lock Wheelchair Docking System has demonstrated it's effectiveness countless times... in the test laboratory and on the street.

Selecting Your Sure-Lok System

AL700 Titan Series Systems

With its distinctive blue webbing and highly-visible, yellow “locked” indicator tag, the AL700 Titan Retractor Series lets operators know when the retractor is in locked mode. With the auto-tensioning feature, webbing automatically retracts into the housing and stays off the floor, keeping it cleaner and longer lasting. The low-profile design minimizes interference with most wheelchairs and has a sleeker, cleaner retractor case with stud fitting to attach the occupant restraint system. Titan retractors allow operators to quickly secure a wheelchair in seconds — with only one hand.

Important Safety Information

Select Sure-Lok Products Suitable for Your Application

The Sure-Lok products that you select must be suitable for your particular application. All products shown on this website and in the catalog are designed and intended to be installed and operated with the occupant in a forward-facing orientation within the vehicle. Installation of products that are not suitable or are installed in an unsuitable manner may compromise proper securement of the wheelchair and occupant, causing injury or death to the occupant, other passengers or driver and wheelchair damage.

Read and Understand Sure-Lok Product Information

Always read and understand the operation instructions that come with Sure-Lok products, warnings and in-vehicle decals and review the Doing It Right training video. These materials provide further information regarding installation and operation. Always provide these materials to the user of the system and keep them with the vehicle at all times.

Use Sure-Lok Products as Manufactured

Always use Sure-Lok Wheelchair Securements, Occupant Restraint Systems, Track and Anchorages together. Do not modify or substitute with other non-Sure-Lok products. When used as recommended, Sure-Lok products conform to current, applicable industry standards and government regulations as stated on the website or in the catalog.

Review Application, Installation and Operation

A qualified person (an individual properly trained in securing mobility aides and positioning occupant restraints) must ensure that the intended application conforms to current, applicable industry standards and government regulations regarding the installation of wheelchair securement and occupant restraint systems.

The vehicle and/or seat manufacturer and/or vehicle modifier must review and approve the system’s location, method of installation and operation of the securement system. The vehicle floor and sidewall structures, where the system anchorages are attached, must have sufficient strength to meet applicable federal government and recommended industry standards.

Not all wheelchairs (e.g. scooter) are endorsed by their manufacturer for use as an occupant seat when transporting an individual in a motor vehicle. Contact the manufacturer of your wheelchair for their recommendation regarding alternative seating options.

Some wheelchairs are compliant with the ANSI/RESNA transit safety standard WC-19, which means that they have been dynamically tested. To determine if your wheelchair is ANSI/RESNA WC-19 compliant, refer to your wheelchair’s labeling or owner’s manual or contact the wheelchair manufacturer.

Standards Compliance

1. •30mph/20g Impact Test Criteria per SAE J2249
