Pro-Lok AO-65-VXL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Pro-Lok AO-65-VXL pump wedge used for?
It's an inflatable wedge for car opening work. You slip the deflated wedge into the gap at the top or side of a vehicle door, pump it up, and it spreads the opening just enough to pass a long reach tool through to the lock or handle. Pro-Lok also lists it for hanging doors, so locksmiths use the same wedge to hold a door leaf in position while shimming.
2) How is the extra large pump wedge different from the standard Pro-Lok AO65?
Same tool, bigger bladder. The AO-65-VXL is the larger version of the AO65 pump wedge, so it gives you more spread and more surface contact once inflated. Pick the extra large when you need a wider opening or more support along a long door edge; the standard size is easier to start into a tight gap.
3) Do I need anything else besides the pump wedge to open a locked car?
Yes. The wedge only creates the gap; it does not reach the lock. You pair it with a long reach tool to manipulate the interior lock button, handle, or unlock switch. Pro-Lok describes the wedge as being for use with any long reach tool, so it is not tied to one specific reach rod.
4) Will the pump wedge damage paint or the weatherstrip when I wedge a car door?
The wedge is built with rounded corners specifically so it enters the gap without catching, which is where most scuffing starts. Standard practice still applies: start the deflated wedge at the corner of the door, pump slowly, and stop as soon as you have clearance for the reach tool rather than over-inflating against the frame.
5) Does this Pro-Lok wedge work on any make of vehicle, or is it vehicle specific?
General application, all vehicles. Pro-Lok lists the extra large pump wedge as a general purpose car opening tool rather than a make or model specific one, so it isn't matched to a particular door frame profile the way some lockout kits are.
6) Can a locksmith use this air wedge on building doors, not just cars?
Yes. Beyond vehicle entry, Pro-Lok lists the extra large pump wedge for hanging doors, so it works as an inflatable shim to hold and level a door leaf in the frame while you set hinges or shim a jamb. Same principle as the car use: place it flat, inflate in small increments, and let the bladder carry the load instead of a stack of wood shims.
7) Is the Pro-Lok extra large pump wedge a professional grade tool or a consumer item?
Pro-Lok classes it as commercial, and it sits in their automotive car opening tool line. It's aimed at locksmiths, roadside and fleet service techs doing repeat lockout work, not at one-off consumer use.
8) How many sizes or versions of the AO-65-VXL pump wedge are there to choose from?
One. The extra large pump wedge is sold as a single model, AO-65-VXL, with no size, color, or configuration options to specify on the order.
