Training and Consulting Team offers only a few products for sale through its seminars and training courses. One of our more popular items is the Tyan Wedgie Doorstop.  We not only endorse them, but we also use them. I also like the product because it was designed by a former team member.  Personally, I carried one as an operator and also carry one now with my suitcase when I travel to prop open my hotel room door when I arrive so the door doesn’t close on me if I need to retrieve my additional luggage (aka “ice chest”) from the hallway.

Tyan Wedgie Doorstop

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 covert clearings of locations.  Thousands of these doorstops are sold each year with the primary users currently being hotel maids, custodians and maintenance workers. Unfortunately, tactical teams, K9 teams, patrol personnel, investigators and CSI have not yet had the opportunity to fully experience the tactical (and convenient) advantage of deploying this product as it was originally intended to be used.

 

These doorstops can also be used for;

· Training exercises

· Building searches

· Warrant services

· Crime scene investigations

There are other tactical and industrial doorstops on the market, but the Tyan Wedgie is feather-light, low profile and very easy for a tactical operator, K9 handler, patrol officer or investigator to store in a tactical pouch, shirt or cargo 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.  Available in Covert Black.

The Tyan Wedgie is currently being sold by TAC Team by mail and shipped via the United States Postal Service. We sell them in packages of 6, 12 and 24 to reduce the cost so it can be economically distributed amongst your team members in patrol, SWAT, investigations, K9 unit and/or CSI.  (Sold individually for $6.00 each.)
