An exemplary embodiment of the invention includes a locking mechanism for use with the adjustable toe board to retain the toe board in its retracted position when necessary for transport, storage, or when the size of the portion of the platform the toe board will be used in requires the toe board to be in its fully collapsible state. The locking mechanism may be comprised of a latching member that is capable of automatic locking when the adjustable toe board is moved into its substantially retracted position. Further, the instant invention may be provided in any number of varying adjustable lengths to accommodate the various platform sizing through the use of a uniquely shaped wedge pin that is used with a fork to couple adjustable or non-adjustable toe boards to scaffolds and the like.
