Ladder safety is of vital importance; underestimated by many users. Various devices can assist with ladder safety including ladder safety steps, stabilizers and locking devices.  Perched many feet above the ground and at times braving odds like strong winds, rain or snow, many are more than likely to get distracted and hurt themselves relatively easily. Worldwide there are 37.3 million ladder falls annually severe enough to require medical attention costing businesses. Falls from ladder usage are the second most common cause of a fatal work injury. Slipping or losing balance on a ladder is one of the most common reasons for a ladder fall.

Accidents caused by DIY jobs are one of the most prevalent characteristics of patients who presented to the emergency room for ladder‐related falls.

The Lock Jaw Ladder Grip is an easy and quick tool to help secure ladders on roofs and is especially useful for risky high climbs. This innovative mechanism will make ladders safe and climbing easy.

Lock Jaw Ladder Grip’ is globally unique and secures ladders with a patented, award winning locking mechanism to guttering for accessing roofing.

Securing a ladder in a way that is fast, affordable and simple is an incredibly difficult issue to solve.

Most countries have legislative requirements that require that a ladder must be secured effectively creating a safety ladder. Failing to meet the requirement can result in heavy penalties, fines or in some cases cancellation of their licence to operate. Lock Jaw Ladder Grip assists in meeting these requirements.

The patented device uses a jaw that clamps onto the inner lip of a gutter. The gutter is protected using rubber pads on the inside and outside of the gutter.  Engineered to clamp onto the gutter but not to apply significant load to stabilise the ladder and prevent all movement. A sliding bar ensures  fast application for almost all ladder heights and thicknesses.

The research results show/confirm that our product is innovative as there are no other products on our exploration that displays the features of portability, adjustability, efficiency, and quality that Lock Jaw Ladder has. Most products require an advanced knowledge as well as much more time to install and remove, most products on this category are designed to be installed on the roof permanently therefore do not have the portability of Lock Jaw Ladder as our product is designed to work as a single unit. Moreover, the competitors do not have an adjustment knob, pulling trigger to release the handle and adjustable jaw.
