About

Ladders remain one of the most common sources of injuries on construction jobsites. Slips, shifts, and unstable ladder placement can quickly lead to falls—often resulting in lost work time, medical costs, and long recovery periods.

One way contractors can help reduce this risk is by improving ladder stability at the top contact point.

How the LockJaw™ Ladder Grip Works

The LockJaw™ Ladder Grip is designed to secure an extension ladder at the roofline or other elevated surfaces with existing gutters. The device connects directly to the gutter and grips the ladder rails, helping anchor the ladder firmly against the structure.

By reducing side-to-side movement and ladder kick-out, the LockJaw™ Ladder Grip helps create a more stable access point when climbing on or off the ladder.

This added stability can be especially helpful when:

• Accessing roofs with existing gutter systems

• Performing inspections, repairs, or maintenance work

• Working on surfaces where ladder movement is more likely

Why Ladder Stability Matters

Many ladder incidents occur not because of improper climbing technique, but because the ladder shifts unexpectedly. Improving how a ladder is secured at the top can:

• Reduce sudden ladder movement

• Improve worker confidence and focus

• Lower the risk of falls during ascent, descent, and transitions

Supporting a Safer Jobsite

Ladder safety starts with selecting the right ladder, setting it at the correct angle, securing it properly, and training employees on safe use. Stability devices can be a practical addition to a broader fall-prevention strategy by addressing one of the most common failure points—ladder movement at the top.

Employers should always evaluate jobsite conditions, equipment compatibility, and safety programs when considering tools intended to help reduce injury risk.
