My trusty aluminium extending ladder has lasted at least 20 years,
and is still in very good order - except that the rubber/plastic
'buffers' at the ladder ends have begun to deteriorate. These help
grip the walls at the top, and the ground at the bottom, so they do
contribute to safety of the ladder unit in use.

Can replacement buffers be obtained from the ladder manufacturers?

Currently they are riveted in place, but I guess that nuts & bolts
would work just as well if I have to drill the rivets out.


Google, lots to choose from

Thanks for that info Mark - I'll need a couple of pair of these before long
and you've saved me some work.
