D’s Locks work independently of the tire by locking the wheel at the hub. Tire types and air pressure no longer matter. Your wheels can be locked securely in place, regardless of tire condition. Because D’s Locks lock at the hub, they are the answer to suspension chairs. They mount completely out of the way, so thumbs stay intact. Additionally, the brakes are no longer the widest part of the chair
. D’s locks add no width to the chair, and wheels can be taken on and off with the locks engaged. D’s Locks can be self-installed in usually less than an hour, with no special tools. With D’s Locks, the danger of wheelchair movement and slippage during transfer is almost entirely removed. Created by a wheel chair user and designed with the safety and autonomy of the wheelchair customer in mind, D’s Locks are durable and secure. One-finger operation allows for total control in wheelchair stability, eliminating the inconvenience and threat of injury during transfer associated with the use of standard wheelchair brakes. These safety benefits translate into increased freedom and peace of mind, decreasing the dependence on others. D’s Locks are durable, safe, and are compatible with most wheels and chairs.
