User questions & answers

Question:	What is the wheel for
Answer:	I roll the ladder up the roof with the wheels from another ladder and then flip it over. These are easy to use and very secure (we have a steep roof) I also wear a safety harness attached to a guy wire.
Question:	What are the dimensions? Need to go over a thick parapet
Answer:	the hooks are about an 8 to10" diameter arc......maybe a little less. definitely designed for a pitched roof i dont think youd do well trying to straddle even a narrow paraphet wall with these. hope thats helpful
Question:	How much do they weigh
Answer:	not exactly sure- but they are heavy. Hard to lift ladder with them installed!
Question:	Are the wheels on casters or fixed position
Answer:	These wheels are in a fixed position, not on casters. Of course, the wheels spin but the metal piece they are connected to is fixed. Hope this helps!

User questions & answers

Question:	With detention ladders, what keeps the back one from extenuating
Answer:	The lock on the ladder.....
Question:	Why does this one have the blade edge to shingles and not the other side as others have it
Answer:	This ladder hook is meant to have the wheel feature used to roll the ladder up over the ridge and then the ladder is turned over to hook on the ridge.
Question:	What are the dimensions of the hook portion? Need to go over a thick parapet
Answer:	6.75 inch opening. From flat portion total curve is 9.75 inches.
Question:	I just came across this item. we do work off of roofs quite a bit. What are the wheels used for, or rather, what is the purpose of the wheels
Answer:	The wheels roll the ladder up the roof and then you turn it over to hook it to the top edge. That keeps your ladder from tearing up the roof shingles. This works well especially since this model is so heavy because it is made out of steel instead of aluminum.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it compatible with the Werner multi position ladders
Answer:	Only if you were to modify it, and I would not do that!! It pieces together well with the ladder sections that it was designed for. I know it’s pricey, but it’s the best option for steep roof pitches. There are other ladder hooks out there to attach to a regular extension ladder, but I preferred this one. If you can get past the cost, I recommend it.
Question:	What is the diameter of the hooks
Answer:	Hook secures ladder when placed over the roof ridge. No need to bolt the hook to the roof except when the roof pitch is so low that the hook does not catch at the ridge.
Question:	will this work with a ridge vent
Answer:	Sometimes, depending upon the pitch of the roof, there isn't enough clearance to work with some roof vents.
Question:	will these work on any ladder or just Warner
Answer:	This product is made in Milwaukee WI.

ACRO 11610-COMBO Set Contains 6ft Ladder Sections & Reinforced Hook

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you use this product if the roof has a ridge vent
Answer:	No this will not work on any multi position ladders.
Question:	What is the length of each ladder section
Answer:	From rounded hook just above swivel to hook end at thickest point is 7 1/8" on the inside. From highest inside arc to imaginary line from same swivel point is 4 1/4". I got them to use on a backyard cement block wall which had some slight rounding on the top instead of a cap row and it works okay on that. The wall was made with narrower blocks than some older walls.
Question:	Don't gutters get in the way of the bottom-most section extending past the roof line
Answer:	yes be careful with a metal roof it will want to slide up. but ridgevent will be fine.
Question:	Where do get padding for this ladder
Answer:	Any fiberglass ladder

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this product be used on a roof with a ridge vent
Answer:	Any length will work with it, if it is an extension ladder, you could take it apart so it will lay flat against the roof
Question:	Can it be attached to a step ladder
Answer:	Yes, I have used it over ridge vents on shingle roofs as well as ridge caps on steel roofs. The radius of the hook spans the ridge.
Question:	Can this be used with a regular extension ladder or single piece aluminum ladder
Answer:	You are correct. These hooks are about 1" center to center of the hook, with only about 11/16" between the hooks themselves. I hope this helps.
Question:	Do you need to bolt the hook onto the roof? Or does it actually secure when just being ran over the peak
Answer:	Dear customer. Currently we are testing those hooks, by the end of this month you can find it in our amazon store.

User questions & answers

Question:	How do I fix it to the ladder
Answer:	I just used 1 hook. Stability wasn't an issue since the sides of the ladder increase the surface area in contact with the roof. It didn't 'wiggle' at all. I did choose to 'tie off' the ladder using a stout rope to an old-growth tree on the opposite side of the roof as an added precaution - more for peace-of-mind than anything else. I've used it about 4 times this way and feel very confident in it's design. The only way I'd recommend using 2 hooks would be if 2 people would be on one ladder (yikes!) or if the pitch of the roof is excessive, or a combination of the two.
Question:	Do you get two hooks when ordered
Answer:	The safety issue is up to you, but I would consider the following advice safe enough for me (I weigh ~175 lbs). I don't have one of these ladder hooks yet, but it looks to me like you could put metal rods (threaded at each end) across your step ladder at two appropriately placed positions to fit this ladder hook and not get in the way of your feet when using the ladder normally or on the roof. I'd size the holes for a tight fit, and use lock washers under the nuts (and, being aluminum, I'd probably use 2 nuts and 2 washers on each end - a nut and flat washer on the inside side of the rail, and a nut and lock washer on the outside side of the rail; tighten one nut against the other to avoid too much inward pressure on the two rails ... none is needed). With a little more risk, you could use an appropriately sized wooden dowel (definitely size the holes for a tight fit, and I'd add a thin bolt on each end, as pins, to guarantee it can't slide out of the holes).

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this work on K style gutters? Looks like it would leave a dent
Answer:	Yes it will work with the various adjustments. You do not have to clamp it that hard to have the proper support. Hope that helps. I bought one unit, but wish I would have bought 2.
Question:	Will this work with a Little Giant ladder
Answer:	I would not waste the money!
Question:	Will this work on a Xtend & Climb Ladder
Answer:	Hello Chadwick,Yes, this is the same ladder as the telesteps ladder and as long as you adjust the Lockjaw properly, it will work on the Extend & Climb. It won't be as snug fitting as a rectangular style ladder would be but would certainly add stability. A safety note.***In most cases the Xtend & Climb is not designed to allow you to access a rooftop as it doesn't extend long enough to give you proper access past the roofline. Extreme caution should be used if using this type of ladder to gain access to top of roof and should never be used on a job site as it doesn't meet code.
Question:	vinyl gutters
Answer:	Hello it is a good question. Lock Jaw was designed for metal gutters. The jaw locks on under the lip. Is the vinyl gutter robust and would you normally lean a ladder on it ? Could you send a photo? Also the product comes with a 30 day money back guarantee. Regards Gail
