Abstract
A ladder leveling device is provided with an integrally formed tubular guide, a locking mechanism, a support shaft and a pivot foot. The tubular guide is attached to a ladder through its base portion. A guide bore is provided in the tubular guide for receiving the support shaft which may slide within the guide bore. A locking mechanism is housed in a lock portion of the tubular guide. The locking mechanism locks the support shaft in a fixed position relative to the tubular guide. The lock portion of the tubular guide protects the locking mechanism from foreign objects and reduces the risk of accidental release. A hole is provided on the side and rear surfaces of the lock portion for operating the locking mechanism and further increasing the safety and ease of use of the invention.
