Stop Your Ladder Moving on the Roof Edge
Falls from ladders are the #1 cause of fatalities on roofing jobs. The Lock Jaw Ladder Grip clamps to your gutter in 5 seconds, eliminating side-to-side movement on every climb.
OSHA 1926.1053 — Employers must ensure ladders are positioned to prevent displacement. Lock Jaw provides a documented, verifiable way to meet your compliance obligations on every roofing job.
Built for the Demands
of Roofing Work
Whether you're replacing shingles, installing metal roofing, or working maintenance on steep-pitch commercial roofs — your ladder is your lifeline. Lock Jaw keeps it locked on the gutter so you can focus on the work.
Residential Roofing
Clamps to standard 4–6 inch gutters on homes and townhouses. Works on aluminum, steel, and copper gutters. Not for use on plastic or vinyl gutters.
Commercial Roofing
Ideal for repetitive ladder placements across large flat or low-pitch commercial roofs. Move fast without re-securing the ladder each time.
Tile & Metal Roofs
Works on tile roof installations where ladder placement is critical. Reduces fatigue from constantly bracing the ladder with your body.
Storm Restoration
When you're up and down the ladder dozens of times on a storm job, Lock Jaw keeps each placement secure — no spotter needed.
Secure in
Three Steps
Hook to ladder rail
Attach the Lock Jaw to the rail of your extension or multi-position ladder. No tools required.
Clamp to the gutter
Place the rubber-padded jaws over the inside edge of the gutter. Compatible with metal and steel gutters — not suitable for plastic.
Turn to lock
Rotate the locking bar to secure. The ladder is now anchored. Takes 5 seconds. Releases the same way.
What It Means for
Your Business
No Spotter Required
Free up your crew. One person can set up and climb safely without a second worker holding the base.
Works in 5 Seconds
Quick-release clamp installs and removes in seconds. No tools. No lost time on the job.
Reduces Fatigue
Stop bracing the ladder with your body weight. Your muscles can focus on the actual work.
Gutter Protection
Rubber-padded clamps prevent scratching or denting metal gutters — protecting your reputation and client's property.
Works on Most Ladders
Compatible with the majority of extension and multi-position ladders used by roofing crews, including telescopic.
Lower Workers' Comp Risk
Demonstrably safer practices lead to fewer incidents, claims, and premium increases.
- Aluminum gutters (K-style & half-round)
- Steel gutters
- Copper gutters
- Standard open gutters
- Most standard 4"–6" profiles
- Plastic or vinyl gutters — insufficient structural strength to support the clamping load
- Non-standard or deeply recessed profiles
OSHA Compliance for Roofers

"We put Lock Jaw on every crew ladder after one of our guys had a close call on a two-story re-roof. It's the simplest thing we ever bought and it's made a real difference to how confident my guys feel on the job."Roofing Contractor — Dallas Roofing Expo Best New Tool Award
