Ladder make with a lock on the rungs

[boarcity]

a while ago i saw somewhere a well known ladder make ,that has a small safety latch where you can lock the rungs when the ladder is extended (so the ladder cannot come apart)

this would make them ideal for the times you have to heave a complete double ladder up and over a flat roof for example

anybody know what make it is?, im blowed if i can remember

I have one I bought in Belfast, Northern Ireland like that. Though I think BPS's ladders have them. I can't confirm as their web site isn't working well right now.

BPS trade ladders have them fitted as standard also a stabaliser bar at the bottom of the ladder too.

Youngmans trade to be exact.

Rung clips they are called on Youngmans.

Look through the pics on this listing to see what I mean http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Triple-Treble-3-Section-Extension-Ladder-Ladders-4-07m-10-0m-/330489654361?pt=UK_Baby_BabyFeedingUtensils_EH&var=&hash=item4cf2b7ec59

The clips are fully metal on mine, though mine doesn't have the wide bottom on it.

...pick yourself off the ground.

Yep, bps has quite a clever lock (both different) on their standard and industrial models.
