The ladder is installed securely on the dock. If the ladder is in the up position, it stays up though nothing locks it. It could be pulled to the down position from a boat. You could purchase a lock to go around it and secure it.

The ladder is secure to the point that someone can't just walk up to the ladder and pull it off. If they have an adjustable wrench and a socket wrench, they can remove two bolts and take the ladder. They would need to remove 4 more bolts to take the mount. Hope this helps.

I think so, it's all bolted together with lock nuts, very secure to the dock.

The distance from your deck/dock to the water line would have some influence but generally I would go with a 4 step over a 3, and a 5 step over a 4. The longer the ladder, the easier it is generally to get out of the water....especially for adults.

It's a hook ladder for a boat. Any dock I've been on ( thousands ) wouldn't accommodate this style of ladder. If you are getting in and out of a kayak .... That ladder best be fully anchored top and lower, or you going to get wet at the very least .... Hope that gets you in the right direction to solve your problem.

That is correct, you need to put the foot in the mount in the up position and locate the position for the mount. That way you can have it so you can leave the foot on one or the other side when using it on level ground. Sometime one of the ladder rungs decides where you will put it.

I would suggest to either not hanging it so high up or having a ladder. I haven't had th luxery yet of camping in mine but that's th way I would go. I've thought about bringing a ladder.

There's a button on the top rung/platform of the ladder that says PULL. Pull that.

I wouldn't climb the ladder without it being screwed in but you will need a tool to move to ladder

It doesn't have a ladder. It's only about 3 feet, or less, off of the ground. Easy to get onto

The ladder is probably all aluminum and plastic and most likely 'could' be stored outside, although I would not store my ladder outside. I am very careful with all my tools and equipment especially the ones whose failure could hurt me. The hinges and slides on this or any ladder would get dirty and wet when stored outside. Although this might not affect the life of the ladder, it may affect how easily it operates.

dont exactly understand the question, but when the ladder is properly clicked and locked I think it would be fine I think

That is the safest way to keep the ladder raised off the ground and you are provided with a wall cleat to do just that. Once the ladder is raised, the system is designed to lock into place. But should anyone or something pull to release the locked position/tension the ladder could come down and cause injury or property damage. Thus you should use all of the equipment provided with the product.

Not really. You could rest them on the bar at the top, stabilizing the item(s) while you descend or mount. I usu have someone hand me heavy items once I am up on the ladder or hand things down to someone.

O heck yes!! That ladder is awsome I use mine all the time ;) you so have to get a hole cutter and cut to holes in the deck of your pontoon floor but ladder comes with 2 black plastic things that will go in the holes!! They stay there all the time and your ladder then will go into the holes and the rest of ladder sits against pontoon log! When. Your done simply pole outta holes fold it up and put away! Well worth there money in gold ;)

The ladder is pretty sturdy. I don't see a problem with going over the IA rating by a bit on this one. Discern how seriously you want to take the manufacturer's rating, I'm sure they lean on the safe side on these things. This comment it not a recommendation, merely an observation.

The ladder is not intended for outdoor use. Your entire body weight plus the weight of the ladder and any tools you use will be focused on four small ladder feet. If one of the feet sinks into the ground more than the others, the ladder will become unstable. That is the risk that you should assess before using the ladder outdoors. Personally, I would stand on the ground and use trimming tools with long handles.

It should not be a problem. Just check the measurements on your tail gate to the top of ladder. Should be fine
