would imply "lining wheel" which it obviously is not in this case. Take David Moore's advice.

Locking wheel

Peeping behind the headlines, I think this may be what is meant here; it certainly isn't a "delivery bicycle" (confidence unlimited), and I rather doubt that it's a "thumb-wheel" or adjusting screw either...

Personally, my advice would be to ask the customer to define its purpose.
Peer comment(s):

agree Gerhard Wieder : Don't think they meant Granville's pushbike either. And because of 'Notfallöffnung' (very odd word, why not Notausgang, -luke etc.?) I wouldn't have thought the opening is adjustable (as suggested by Zustellschraube) either.

setting wheel

Setting wheel is more appropriate in the automotive industry

neutral David Moore (X) : The automotive industry?? But this is an armoured van, if I understand correctly...
