TacWedge™ redefines the concept of a tactical door stop!

With four stainless steel spikes to bite into even the slickest floor surfaces, TacWedge is so aggressive that it even puts divots in cement! Its patent-pending design creates a leaf spring pressure to dig those steel spikes into the floor when TacWedge is kicked under a door. Think of TacWedge as a door stop on steroids. Plus, two U-shaped cut-outs allow TacWedge to insert into the crack of an open door, resting on top on a hinge to keep an open door open. Fast and positive to insert with the T-handle, no fumbling like lesser designs. Gain “tactical access control” for active shooter lockdowns, house clearings, SWAT operations, fire and rescue. A controlled door is a safe door. Made in USA. (Note: Because TacWedge is so effective at jamming a door shut, it follows that it’s also difficult and time consuming to remove. For fast removal, use bolt cutters or an axe to break the spike foot for easier removal. Intended for one-time use as a disposable device. Occupant of the room will not be able to quickly exit without destroying the device.)

Door Jamming For Dummies

Door jamming is not complicated. If you can kick or stomp, you can operate TacWedge™. If you can pull a cord, you can work TacCinch.™ There’s only a couple of things to bear in mind when securing doors:

If you can see the hinge, the door swings toward you. Jam TacWedge™ under the door to wedge it closed.

If you can’t see the hinge, the door swings away from you. Use TacCinch™ to hold it shut.

If the door is open and you want to make it sure it stays open to secure a sure means of egress, poke TacWedge™ into the crack of the door

An Open And Shut Case

TacWedge™ provides Tactical Access Control™ by positively securing a door in either a closed or open position. Depending on the tactical situation, you may wish to jam a door closed to inhibit entry by unknown parties or to prevent access to a room’s contents. Alternatively, you may need to make sure an open door remains open.

Depending on the case, you can employ TacWedge™ to jam shut an inward-swinging door (the hinges are visible to you) or to hold an open door open. If an away-swinging door (the hinges are on the other side and can’t be seen) needs to be secured in the closed position, then you need to employ TacCinch™. Mechanically, there is no way to wedge shut an away-swinging, so for that situation we offer TacCinch™. However, for all other Tactical Access Control™ situations, TacWedge™ solves the problem.

Be warned— TacWedge™ works really, really well. There are four hardened steel spikes on the underside, two in the arched Spike Foot and two in the Wedge Blade. Those spikes are designed to bite into even the slickest floor surface. Conventional rubber door stops or wood shims cannot gain purchase on surfaces like waxed linoleum, polished marble or wet concrete. TacWedge™ is so aggressive that its spikes bite into these slick-as-ice surfaces and do not let go. Once TacWedge™ is firmly rammed home, it cannot be removed without destroying the device by either chopping or cutting off its Spike Foot to relieve the leaf spring tension built into the device.

For this reason, we consider TacWedge™ as a “permanent press” solution. It is designed for one-time use. Most operators leave it behind after an operation. If you want to fight with getting it out, bring a buddy named Axe or Saw
