ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for stabilizing a ladder for minimizing accidents. For example, a main bracket may be connected to a lower arm, a foot bracket may be connected to the lower arm, an upper arm may be connected to the foot bracket and a slide arm may be telescopically slidable inserted inside the upper arm. Pins may be inserted into holes within the main bracket, upper arm, lower arm, and slide arm to secure the ladder stabilizer. The main bracket may be attached to most ladders regardless of side rail thickness. The ladder stabilizer may accommodate varying surfaces, flat and uneven, with the ability to fold up against the vertical sides of the ladder in a small compact unit when not in use.
