Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between this and the standard Ultra D Locksafe?
The ANSI version has a higher minor axis MBS (16 kN vs. 12 kN), meets ANSI/ASSE Z359.12-2019 and CAN/CSA Z259.12-16, and weighs slightly more (100g vs. 84g). The trade-off is a smaller gate opening (16mm vs. 22mm).
Do I need the ANSI version for arborist work in the US?
It depends on your employer's requirements and applicable regulations. ANSI Z133 is the arborist-specific standard — verify which certifications your safety program requires before purchasing.
Is the gate opening smaller on the ANSI version?
Yes — 16mm vs. 22mm on the standard Locksafe. If you need a wider gate opening, consider the standard Ultra D Locksafe or the Rock Exotica RockD options.
