A self-locking wheelchair device is disclosed that automatically brakes the wheel when the wheelchair is parked so patients don't have to worry about the wheelchair moving when they get out of the chair. The self-locking wheelchair device comprises a pressure sensitive pad that is configured in a rectangular shape and positioned in a seat of a conventional wheelchair. The pressure sensitive pad is in communication with a control box comprising a battery, a controller, and a motor. The control box is then in communication with at least one automatic brake assembly, such that when a user attempts to stand from a wheelchair, the brakes are automatically engaged. The device also includes a manual brake to override the automatic brake assemblies, as needed and a lock/release lever once the user has risen or been seated within the wheelchair, to disengage the automatic brake assemblies.
