Squeeze the bulb and the wedge expands in slow, even steps, gently pushing two surfaces apart or lifting a heavy object so you can get to whatever is behind it. The U-shape lets it sit around a corner or post and spread its pressure across a wider area instead of biting into one spot. Inflatablepump-action air bag U-shapedwraps a corner or edge Non-marringno scuffs or marks Gradual liftcontrolled, not a hard pry What it does Push two things apart, or raise something heavy, with air instead of force A metal pry bar gives you one crude lever and a good chance of leaving a dent. An air wedge does the opposite. You start it in a gap that is barely there, then add air a pump at a time until you have exactly the space you need. Because the pressure builds slowly and spreads across the bag, it lifts and separates without the scratches, scuffs, or marks a hard tool leaves behind. That makes it a quiet workhorse for entry and access work: opening up a door-and-frame gap so you can reach the mechanism directly, or raising a heavy panel or object enough to slide a hand or tool underneath. How you use it Slide it in, pump slowly, stop when you have enough room Find the tightest seam the bag can start in, work it in flat, then pump gently and watch the gap grow. The skill is in stopping early: as soon as you have working room for a tool or a hand, hold there rather than chasing more space. To finish, release the air valve and the wedge deflates so you can pull it straight back out. It is happiest on jobs where you want gradual, adjustable lift and a clean surface afterwards. For door entry it pairs naturally with a thin shim or latch tool slipped into the gap you just made. Responsible use: only on locks, doors, and property you own or have clear permission to open, and check your local law first. This is a tradesperson and locksport access tool, not a way into anyone else's home or vehicle. Common jobs Where an air wedge earns its keep Door accessOpen a controlled gap between a door and its frame so you can reach and work the latch or mechanism directly. LiftingRaise a heavy panel, object, or fitting just enough to get a hand or tool underneath without dropping it. AlignmentHold a steady, adjustable gap while you level, fit, or align a door or panel into position. Why this one A wedge that protects the surface it works on No marks left behind The soft air bag spreads its load, so it lifts and separates without scuffing, scratching, or denting the surface. You control the gap Add air a pump at a time and stop exactly where you want it, instead of forcing one fixed lever. U-shape for awkward spots The shape lets it wrap a corner or edge and apply pressure where a straight wedge cannot sit cleanly. Packs flat Deflates to slip into a tight seam and tuck away in a kit, then grows to do real work on demand. Details What to know before you buy Brand Lokko Type Inflatable air wedge (bypass and access tool) Shape U-shaped, wraps a corner or edge Action Hand pump inflate, valve release to deflate Finish Non-marring: no scuffs or marks on the work surface Best for Door-and-frame access, lifting heavy objects, leveling and alignment Good companions Build the access setup around it Latch Opening Shims Once the air wedge holds a gap open, a flexible latch shim slips in to slip the bolt. The two work hand in hand on spring-latch doors. Lokko Credit Card Latch Shim A wallet-sized card shim for slipping a latch, handy when the wedge has given you just enough room to work. Questions Quick answers from the LockPickWorld bench How does an air wedge work? You slide the deflated bag into a gap, then pump air into it. The bag expands slowly and spreads pressure across its surface, separating two things or raising a heavy object until you can reach behind it. Will it damage the surface? It is made to avoid that. The soft inflatable bag spreads the load rather than biting a single point, so the surface comes away clean with no scuffs, scratches, or marks. What is the U-shape for? The U lets the wedge wrap around a corner, post, or edge and apply pressure across a wider area, which helps in awkward spots where a flat wedge cannot sit cleanly. What should I pair it with? For door entry, a thin shim or latch tool to work the gap you open. Use it on your own doors, locks, and property, or with clear permission, and check your local law. Add a wedge that opens the gap and leaves no trace Slide it in, pump until you have the room, and work with a clean surface afterwards. Take it slow, stop early, and let the air do the lifting instead of brute force.
