Raising and Lowering the Rails on an Extension Ladder- Warsaw, Syracuse, Goshen and Columbia City IN 

Great video. I am a 68-years old man and I am going to climb to my two-story roof today.

Thank you I bought a 32’ to paint my house and I’ve been lifting it around wrong, and having a hard time raising it up. This helped a lot. I also hate heights, but I have to paint my house.

Thanks, it was easy to deploy the ladder, but I was having a difficult time collapsing it.. My dad wasn't handy. so I never learned this stuff you have to know as a homeowner. My best from Canada

This is the first video I found that helped me to get back the ladder. Everybody seems to excited to show how to extend the ladder, but then when you need to store it again, you can't manage to open the spring locks to lower the ladder because Werner ladder explanation on the side of the ladder leaves a lot to be desired. I mean, it's one of those marketing information that who actually wrote the instruction did it in an an office with AC, but probably never went out in the field and tried to follow his own instructions. It works if you already know how to do it. Thanks again for the help.

I just watched a few videos about how to use a ladder, don't know why they make it too confusing. You did it very simple . Now I know how to use mine. Thanks.

Thank you. Right to the point and great instruction. I do not need 20 minutes of safety blabber. Some people are so safe, nothing gets done.

Excellent tutorial. Thank you. It really helped a lot to understand the functions and clear up some handling problems.

Thanks, I was having trouble lowering mine and you helped.

Thank you so much. There were no instructions on my Gorilla extension ladder. I suppose they only expected builders who already have used one to buy it, but you pointed out the danger well. Thanks.

Thank you. We hired a guy who only did half the job -=- it's been a year. He left his ladder so we used to finish it. He's never returned our calls. My initial take on him was that he was an alcoholic.This video was very helpful. We now own a 24 ft. Werner ladder but our out 800 bucks.

This is great - I just bought one and had no idea quite frankly - so thats super helpful

Thank you for these videos. I was on a job, borrowing a 30 ft ladder. Did not realize how crazy it can be. Found your videos really quick, and was back at it in no time!

Thank you for these videos. I never used a ladder and this helped me feel more confident I can do it safely

Lifesaving video. Thank you for sharing!

Great video! Thank you for sharing. Safety first!

Thank you so much- great video!

so great, you're an awesome instructor! really clear

You do a great job on these videos. Thanks!

Glad i watched your video series on ladders.

Great video on the safety.

Thank you for the explanation and demonstration.

Excellent video. Easy to understand.

Thank you. This is what I was looking for. The last painters stole all of my Mom's ladders (terrible I know) but left her extension ladder & I was never clear how to use it. Now I get to fix gutters. Yay. So excited.

No BS, clearly explained, thanks!

Omg you make that look so easy I'm jealous!:) Thank you for all of this sharing of really useful knowledge!

Much appreciated. For a bonehead like me, this is essential stuff, well shown and explained.

Thank you for your help every informative

Very useful & important information about entensionl ladder.

Thanks man your video helped me today

Thank you for your knowledge!

Thanks for the video. I’m replacing the rope on an old extension ladder and needed some help.

Good video here......very helpful

Simple and to the point

Clear explanation

Thanks for the video. I am rebuilding an old extension ladder. I learned from your video about the little black fingers that allow the ladder to retract. They are missing from my ladder and I will have to fabricate them. They show clearly at 1:52.

Thank you! Highly useful video .. I didn’t get what was the purpose of the rope initially but quickly realized I couldn’t get to the maximum height.

Great explanation

Thank you ! I just bought my first 24 ft extension ladder and had no idea how to string the rope or what it was for...I thought it was extra protection to help secure the ladder from unlocking and falling down Lol 😆

Thanks Matthiew. I'd never heard of 40 and 60 ft ladders. In the UK, you'll be hardpressed to find a ladder above 25 ft :)

Great!! Thanks

great vid

Thank you!!!!

i like the doggy door with the little ramp lol. good video, thank you

old vid, but a good one, thanks for the explanation

u the man

That's cool Extension Ladder .for safety use..

Love your ladder videos. Careful wrapping the cord around your index tho no?

I have the 28' fiberglass werner ladder. It has the rope. I weigh 230 lbs. I can hang on the rope and I can't get the ladder to raise or lower. I have to lay the ladder down, adjust the extension height and then it takes two people to raise the ladder. The fiberglass ladder is so heavy I wish I had not bought it. Thanks for the video.

👍

You make such hard work of it. Pull the base out to where it should be, for every 4 feet of height, position the base of the ladder 1 foot away from the wall. In other words, the distance between the wall and the base of your ladder should be one quarter of the ladder's height (putting the ladder at a 75° angle). This applies whether you're measuring in feet or metres. left foot on the stabilising rail, which you don't have..!!! and lift the fly sections with your right hand. Then the second section easy......30 second job. I live on ladders just about. What a pain to do it your way...

I got one of those gorilla multi use ladders to decorate my house and those things are unwieldy as hell! If you want a multiuse, get the 16' one and call it a day. Anything taller, get an extension ladder.

Can i do this with only one arm. . because i want to wash windows and do it fir myself. Tired working for others making bare minimum

I just restrung my ladder because the rope had practically disintegrated, after not using my ladder for 15 years. I noticed that the rope on that ladder is loose on one end, and the other end has a crimp, instead of a knot, to attach the rope to the rung. Must be the original rope. The video I saw on restringing a ladder had me tie both ends of the rope. Any disadvantages to that? It still seems to work ok. By the way, I admire your honesty in admitting even pro painters don't always operate these ladders smoothly.

Did you raise it to what would be considered 3 rungs from the top

But why do ladder makers have you reach around the back of the ladder to pull the rope. It's much more convenient, especially with a continuous rope, to turn the ladder 180 degrees and pull down on the rope in the front of the ladder. Anyone know?

This video was everything I was looking for. Thank you so much! 🙌🏻🪜
