Ladder Safety Lock
There is a new product that can be used to secure your extension ladder to a building and reduce the possibility of your ladder falling. The product is called "Ladder Lock" It will help you comply with OSHA requirements to secure your ladder. It will clamp onto plywood, metal overhangs, 5 and 6" gutters, drip edge and wall cap flashing and tubing. When used on gutters the adjustable arm actually folds back into the gutter to prevent the ladder from crushing the gutter. The ladder lock can be installed on either the left or right side of the ladder. An independent engineering company has tested the ladder lock and it follows OSHA guidelines for securing an extension ladder. Here is a link to a facebook video on the product showing it in use. If you are interested in purchasing, here is a link to our site.
