An 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.
Wheelchair Docking, Docking Restraint, & Auto Controls 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.

Our focus, coupled with the knowledge and professionalism of our authorized EZ Lock dealers, ensures that you get the finest docking system available. EZ Lock’s long history of rigorous and successful impact testing on their wheelchair locking devices, which makes them the premier choice wheelchair docking safety. EZ Lock wheelchair locking devices are tested in accordance with standards recommended in SAE J2249/ISO 10542. Along with the required testing, EZ Lock actually impact tests the specific wheelchairs that they provide docking systems for. The versatility of the EZ Lock wheelchair locking devices provide you with more choice than any other docking system. Its versatile, reliable, and safe alternative to fabric strap tie-downs has made this docking base the first of its kind in the mobility industry. EZ Lock... Products you can trust; Performance you can count on. Here are some more features: •Over twenty years of proven performance The BL-6290 Base Lock: The heart of the EZ LOCK System. The casing is sturdy 3/16 inch powder coated steel. Locking Jaws are 1/4 inch steel coated with a permanently bonded lubricant. Entry into lock is mechanical and the release is attained by an electrical pull solenoid. There is an emergency mechanical release that is also incorporated as a safety measure (in case the vehicle loses battery power). The base lock is mounted to the vehicle floor and acts as a receiver for the interfacing pin that is mounted to the wheelchair. BL-7317 Docking Base EZ Lock BL-7317 The new BL-7317 Docking Base is a product that has been based on over twenty years of research, testing, and hands on experience. The design is based on the BL-6290 Docking Base, which is time tested and has proven to perform extremely well. The BL-7317 had additional features such as a longer service life, as well as simplifying routine maintenance. Here are some more features: •Hardened steel reinforcement The Wheelchair Bracket: The interface bracket is mounted to the wheelchair allowing it to lock into the BL-6290 docking base. The EZ Lock system can accommodate a wide array of wheelchair styles, including both manual and power wheelchairs. Although we provide an interface for most of the wheelchairs currently on todays market, it is advisable to first check with EZ LOCK, or your local adaptive equipment dealer, to ensure that we have a system appropriate for your particular wheelchair. When consulting your dealer about availability it is helpful to have the name of the manufacturer, your wheelchair model and model number, and to note any accessories that might interfere with the bracket installation (i.e. reclining or elevating seat, vent tray etc). The ECU-3 Control Panel: The Main User Interface for EZ LOCK System. Functions include release, alarm buzzer deactivation for unoccupied use, and an array of warning indicators. A green light signifies locking jaws are completely closed and system is safe to use. A yellow light means locking jaws are not completely closed, and that the user should exit and then re-enter base lock. Red light indicates system has been deactivated and is for unoccupied use only. How It Works... EZ Lock Demo 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. In the photo to the right, we use one of our demonstration units to illustrate the principle of the docking system. 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.
