TB Davies 1400-034, Steel Wall Brackets, Supplied with Padlock, for Small to Medium Extension Ladders

I spent quite a while looking for a suitably sturdy ladder wall bracket, this does the job perfectly - as others have said, it feels made to last. Takes my triple ladders, and being able to lock them up and out of the way is great. A good buy.

Very pleased with quality. Much sturdier than others I looked at and came with small padlock which I didn't need as the ladder is kept in my garage. But any padlock wouldn't stop a determined thief if stored outside as the fixing screws can be reached, but that is true of all these types of ladder brackets. No fixing screws provided but can be easily obtained from your local DIY store or builders mechants. Ordered one day and delivered the next..Very satisfied and recommended.

I've seen several comments here that the brackets will not accommodate triple-section ladders. Here then is my two pennies' worth.The brackets are clearly intended to be fixed in either one of two positions and are pre-drilled accordingly. The brackets are rectangular; the short projection is intended for double-section ladders and the long projection for triple-section ladders.It is important to note that when extension ladders sit nested, the stiles are not in fact parallel. The guide brackets on the bottom two sections of ladder mean that the overall depth of ladder is slightly greater at the guide end. I own Lyte NBD335 triple-section ladders. The overall depth of these ladders is 220mm at one end and 225mm at the other (guide) end. Therein lies the problem. The clear internal dimensions of the brackets are 222mm x 157mm. Therefore the ladders sit loosely on the bracket at one end but have to be rotated and forced into position at the other. It's what your Aunty Mary might call a snug fit. Alternatively, you could offer the ladders onto the brackets with the narrowest, i.e. top section nearest the wall. This will allow the wider top section to clear the front lip of the bracket.Why on earth didn't the manufacturer simply make the brackets slightly larger?As far as the robustness of the brackets goes, they are made of 30mm x 6mm thick steel bar and are more than adequate for the load supported. I fixed the brackets using 60mm long screws in 50mm plugs drilled and screwed to the blockwork wall in my garage. Tip: don't drill the holes too close to the edge of the concrete blocks to avoid splitting.I have given 4 stars simply because of the tight fit, but otherwise I have no problem recommending this product.

Strongly made with each bracket having a good securing plate for each bracket thet can be padlocked. Well made and strong, ideal to secure your ladder outside or in a shed. Was very easy to the install. 100% recommend this product.

Having bought TB Davies double ladders (two times 4m) which are pretty substantial for someone who just does DIY, I thought it best to buy the brackets to go with them. They’re fitted to two concrete fence posts down the side of my house and it looks absolutely great, just what I wanted.Tips - as has been said you can fit them one of two ways so decide which before you commit to the job.The lock is nice to have and I’ve fitted it, it will put off the casual thief I reckon.The pre drilled holes weren’t large enough from the bolts I have used - it would have been fine with longer thinner screws/bolts but given the weight I wanted to be cautious.If you’re going to drill concrete posts then a standard drill won’t do it/you’ll take all day, so easier to drill into house bricks/block. I have a ‘mega’ drill which makes light work if it.The bolts I’ve used have a star head - picks up on the security issue somebody else mentioned. Overall very happy with the result, nice colour too!! 🙂

Prompt delivery. Sturdy construction. Did the job very well. Only grumble being the lack of info re the padlock - they supplied a good one with the unit which meant that the padlocks I purchased as an extra were a bit redundant! Good value all in all and would recommend.

There are good points and bad points!First the good points - It’s well made, quite strong with holes for different orientation.Now the bad points - The picture shows it holding a three rung ladder on the smaller width. I have a three rung Trade Ladder (ELT335), purchased the same time through Amazon. My ladder would not fit on this orientation. I had to turn the bracket so the wider orientation sticks out to fit my ladder on. Even using this orientation I had to force my ladder to fit!!!This bracket could do with ½” to 1” larger on both height and width!
