Steck’s Wedge Makes Unlocks Super Easy

Many of today's new vehicles may require additional pressure and surface area to spread the force along the door when performing unlocks. Steck's Super Easy Wedge can be used as an accessory with the company's BigEasy Lockout kits.

Many of today’s new vehicles may require additional pressure and surface area to spread the force along the door when performing unlocks. New vehicles are being built with sturdier window frames that may require additional pressure when unlocking the vehicle. Larger vehicles have larger doors, which also may require additional pressure when performing unlocks.

Super Easy Wedge (P/N 32923) from Steck Manufacturing is a larger version of the Easy Wedge to be used as an accessory with the company’s BigEasy Lockout kits. The Super Easy Wedge as well as the Easy Wedge are inserted to create a controlled opening of the vehicle door. Once inserted, inflate the wedge to the desired size and you can insert your BigEasy tool to safely unlock the vehicle. The bigger wedge can provide more power as well as a bigger opening to be able to maneuver the BigEasy lockout tool.

Super Easy Wedge, made in the U.S.A., is a 7 x 9” inflatable wedge made from ballistic nylon, preventing slippage in extreme weather. The Super Easy Wedge also has a taffeta print on the exterior with a 30-gauge polypropylene insert for stiffness, which will lead to ease of insertion into the vehicle. The Super Easy Wedge has a contact area of 2-1/2 x 4-1/2 giving the wedge 168.75 lbs. of force. The bulb has been increased by 50% allowing for fewer compressions to fill the wedge.
