THE AUTOMATIC SOLUTION TO FALLS CAUSED BY UNLOCKED WHEELS
From those who are Aging in Place to those in Long Term Care, most wheelchair falls and injuries are preventable.
Most falls occur when manual wheel locks are not used while transferring to and from the wheelchair, causing the chair to roll away, most often due to:
-
Dementia, Alzheimer's Disease, or other Cognitive Impairments make using wheel locks difficult to remember
-
Lack of dexterity or strength to fully engage wheel locks
-
Manual locks need adjustment or repair
Safer Locks are automatic, so there is never a need to worry about falls occurring due to a rolling wheelchair again.
Twenty years of refinement & proven use is why Safer Locks are the standard in wheelchair fall prevention today.

I purchased a Tracer SX5 wheelchair with Safer Locks for my mom from you last year. This product has saved her from multiple fall events! As a physical therapist, I can endorse this product without hesitation. Thank you!!
Physician Grady Dugas, the inventor of the automatic wheelchair locking system, saw a crying need for a better wheel lock while treating residents in nursing homes. "Some residents fell repeatedly, often injuring themselves seriously while attempting to get into or out of their wheelchairs. They did not consistently remember to engage the wheelchairs' manual locks. As a result, the wheelchairs would roll away from them as they attempted to stand up or sit down. Often these injuries changed the quality of the rest of residents' lives," said Dr. Dugas.
To help these people, the wheelchair locks had to be automatic.
