The RTT Wheel Bar (Johnson Bar) is a heavy-duty levering tool designed to make lifting and shifting large, awkward objects—most commonly commercial doors—safer and far more manageable for a single operator. Inserted beneath the door after hinge pins are removed, the bar gives mechanical advantage to lift, balance, and slide the door free of its frame. Rugged, portable, and simple to use, it’s a practical addition to any installer’s, locksmith’s, or entry-kit toolbox.
