Abstract: A rope terminal fixing method is provided, which may be used easily at a construction site, causes less shearing load, and may reliably prevent the falling-off of the rope. The rope terminal fixing method comprises the following steps. A tubular terminal metal fitting which comprises a proximal opening, a distal opening, and a through hole communicating the proximal and distal openings is prepared. A terminal of a rope is inserted through the proximal opening into the through hole, a portion of the terminal of the rope extended from the distal opening is loosened, and a diameter-enlarging member is fixed to a core wire of the rope. Then, the terminal of the rope is brought back into the through hole. A fixed width portion extending in an axial direction of the terminal metal fitting is pressed from the outside in a circumferential direction by swaging, such that a protrusion constraining the rope so as to reduce its diameter is formed in the through hole.
