i have a few customers that have locked gates i use my point ladder at the moment but its not ideal the customers can't leave the gate unlocked due to security and i don't want to carry keys around with me.

Eirth i think its a good idea mate why because customers do complain if you dont turn up on the day about leaving there gates open all day and you climbing over...as long as you say to the customer what your doing then im sure they will be fine with it

I did say in the first post that the customers can't leave the gate unlocked due to security and i don't want to carry keys around with me.   :

sorry i didnt read that part  in that case you will have to climb over, i think most use there section ladders as well as there A frame ladders.

if its possible i (when absolutely necessary!) just jump up and climb over if the gate feels solid

Hi
I bought one of those for getting over high fences and gates. Works fine. Rather heavy and a bit of a pain opening it up and lifting it over the gate but apart from that it does help.
But I think that it is time consuming doing this and an additional cost should be put to the customer. It's not as easy as opening a step ladder.

Phone for me too. Besides I'm getting too old to be climbing gates. I'm a window cleaner not a burglar.

I just use my 8 foot pointer for locked gates

Best way round locked gates is to only do the ones with electric gates/ or manned gatehouse. That way you can simply sit in the van as the gates glide elegantly open as you tap in the keycode or give a nod to the gate house.......

Those ladders are a bit hefty, double pointer is just the job.....
