A convertible ladder and scaffold assembly includes a plurality of uprights and a plurality of beams each extending from one of the uprights. A plurality of hinges each hingedly connect one of the uprights to one of the beams about a rotational axis (AR) to provide an assembly having ladder, scaffold, push-cart, and storage configurations. Each of the hinges defines catches and present a stop releasably engaging catches for preventing rotation about the rotational axis (AR). At least one lever bar releasably engages a plurality of the stops for simultaneously releasing a plurality of the stops from engaging catches. Each of the lever bars have a plurality of lever sections for providing leverage to disengage the stops from the catches. Each of the lever bars has a grip section interconnecting the lever sections for simultaneously releasing a plurality of the stops from engaging the catches.
