Troubleshooting

Wedge feels loose on gear

Ensure the bungee ball is securely fastened to your equipment. If the bungee cord is worn, consider replacing it.

Difficult to insert into a door gap

Ensure the gap is suitable for the wedge's 1.2" thickness. Apply steady, firm pressure. The chamfered edges should assist insertion.
