The BL-6290 Base Lock is the heart of the EZ Lock system. The casing is made of sturdy 3/16” powder coated steel, and the locking jaws are 1/4” steel coated with a permanently bonded lubricant. Entry into the lock is mechanical, and release is effected by an electrical pull solenoid. An emergency mechanical release is also incorporated in case the vehicle loses power. The base lock is mounted to the floor of the vehicle, and acts as the receiver for the interfacing pin mounted to the wheelchair.

The Wheelchair Bracket is the interface mounted to the wheelchair that allows it to dock into the BL-6290 base lock. The EZ Lock system can accommodate a wide array of wheelchair styles, including manual and power wheelchairs. Although we can provide an interface for most all of the popular wheelchairs on today's market, it is advisible to check with EZ Lock, or your local adaptive equipment dealer, to ensure that we have a system that is appropriate for your wheelchair. When consulting your dealer about availability it would be helpful to have the name of the manufacturer, the model of the wheelchair, model number, and to note any accessories that might interfere with the bracket installation (reclining or elevating seat, vent tray etc...). Go to the Bracket Chart.

The ECU-3 is the main user interface for the EZ Lock system. The functions of the ECU-3 include release, alarm buzzer deactivation for unoccupied use, and an array of warning indicators. The green light signifies that the locking jaws are completely closed and the system is safe to use. The yellow indicator light means that the locking jaws are not completely closed, and the user should exit, then re-enter the base lock. The red light indicates that the system has been de-activated, and is for unoccupied use only.

The picture to the left illustrates the wheelchair bracket applied to a standard manual wheelchair. The application pictured also includes the front stabilizer which is required for all drivers. The stabilizer is designed to minimize any tipping or side to side motion. The EZ Lock system is used for both manual and power wheelchairs, and is suitable for both drivers and passengers.
