Willo Products Company LLC, a leading manufacturer of detention locking systems, recently announced the launch of its latest innovation—the Wedge Slim™, a high-security swinging-door lock designed specifically for new jail and prison construction projects.
The Wedge Slim builds on the proven legacy of the original Willo Wedge®, a trusted solution in retrofit installations for over a decade. Engineered to bolt directly into industry-standard lock preparations in wide-jamb hollow-metal frames, the Wedge Slim streamlines installation while enhancing safety and security in modern correctional environments.
Designed to combat common lock defeat methods, the Wedge Slim features a recessed, slim-profile housing that fits seamlessly into standard lock pockets. It incorporates a maximum-security lock, an integrated door-position switch (DPS), and full compatibility with existing door control systems. The system also includes patented and patent-pending tamper-resistant technologies aimed at reducing vulnerabilities exploited by inmates.
Willo says the Wedge Slim addresses a growing concern in the corrections industry: the risk posed by frame-mounted locks that can be manipulated or damaged, endangering staff and residents alike. By investing in the Wedge Slim, facility operators can reduce maintenance costs, minimize operational disruptions, and prioritize safety over hardware repairs.
The new product joins Willo’s expanded Wedge portfolio, which includes the original Wedge and the Wedge SurfaceMax. This lineup allows architects, engineers, and detention administrators to choose locking systems tailored to both new builds and renovation projects, all backed by Willo’s field-tested tamper-resistance features.
The Wedge Slim is now available for specification nationwide. For more details or to schedule a product demonstration, visit willoproducts.com.
