The Tyan Wedgie ["Tactical"] Doorstop was initially conceived and designed by a SWAT scout as a better way to keep self-closing doors propped open during a covert clearing of a location. After it was modified and fully developed, it found its primary market to be hotel chains, hospitals, and other commerical entities. Thousands of these doorstops are sold each year with the primary users currently being hotel maids and custodians. Unfortunately, K9 teams, tactical teams and patrol personnel have not yet had the opportunity to fully experience the tactical advantage of deploying this product as it was originally intended to be used.
There are other tactical and industrial doorstops on the market, but the Tyan Wedgie is feather-light, low profile and very easy for a K9 handler, tactical operator, or patrol officer to store in a tactical pouch, shirt or pants pocket, or carry around the neck using a lanyard (not included). The approximate size in inches is 3/8 by 4 3/8 by 2 3/4. The firm polypropylene material is perfect for heavy fire-rated doors, such as metal, the type of door commonly used in hotels, hospitals, and other commercial environments. Includes a 3/8-inch hole for lanyard/key ring access.
The Tyan Wedgie is sold in packages of 12 to reduce the cost so it can be economically distributed amongst your patrol team, other K9 handlers in your K9 unit and/or operators on your tactical team. (Sold individually for $6.00 each.)
In today's economic climate, officers and deputies might often have to purchase some police equipment on their own. Remember that police equipment that you personally purchase is tax deductible!
Available in Covert Black.
