    Love my ladder for my she shed. Looking back, the ONLY thing I would change is the width size. I should have spent more money and got a larger width size. The quality and finish on this item is great. Would buy again, but in a wider size.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great ladder with good latch and seal - substantial installation project for 1 person approach.
    Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    This is a solid ladder and the longer opening enables better attic access. This ladder is sturdy but not as light as many others. The twist latch works very well and closes the hatch securely. The rubber seal around the edges keep out dust and drafts. It is easy to open and close this ladder with the supplied pole and square drive end. The opening of 51 inches is adequate to bring 4 ft by 4 foot 3/4 inch plywood into the attic for platforms.

    Careful ladder installation is important.

    PREP
    My ceilings are 9 feet.
    I had a small trap door (20 inch by 26 inch) access opening to my attic in a closet that the builder installed, so I could work in the attic before installing this ladder.
    First I had to relocate some wires and plumbing around the area where I wanted this ladder. Then I framed my opening with 2 inch by 10 inch framing on all 4 sides. The ladder is modestly heavy AND some of the weight when climbing this ladder is placed on the attic framing members (most of the weight on the ladder should transfer to the floor below the ladder if the ladder is trimmed to the correct length).
    I over-engineered the attic framing with 2 x 10s to ensure that the joists would never flex regardless of how much weight was placed on those joists. I calculated the stress placed by a person on the ladder plus 2 people in the attic next to the ladder. That heavy framing will prevent any ceiling dry wall seams from cracking due to flex of the joists.
    Those 2 x 10s are attached to wall headers using 1/4 inch angle steel and numerous 3 inch long 3/8 inch lag screws. That should allow placing as much weight on the ladder as practical without over-stressing the original 2x4 ceiling joists. My HVAC unit is in my attic so someday I will have to remove and replace that heavy HVAC unit using this ladder. That is likely to generate a very heavy load (maybe more than 400 lbs for a worker and the unit, but I believe this ladder will handle it.

    ONE PERSON INSTALLATION PROCESS
    1 - I cut out the 22.5 inch by 51 inch opening in my ceiling drywall.
    2 - I installed 2 each 28 inch long pieces of temporary steel angle braces using lag screws from below the opening. Each brace was a couple inches from the end of the 51 inch opening. These braces provided a solid platform to place the ladder so it would be perfectly level with the drywall ceiling.
    3 - I removed all 3 metal ladder segments to make the installation a 1-person job.
    4 - I lifted the wooden ladder frame through the opening at an angle and then placed it flat on the temporary steel angle braces.
    5 - I used 3/8 inch lag bolts to attach all 4 sides of the ladder frame to the 2 x 10s - with shims as needed.
    6 - I then reinstalled the 3 metal ladder segments.
    7 - I pulled down the ladder and measured its length and angle so I could calculate how much to cut off the bottom segment of this ladder. It takes some trigonometry but it is possible to calculate the required length to 1/8 inch precision.
    8 - The bottom segment was able to fold and lay flat on a work table so I could cut the ladder to the needed length.
    9 - When I unfolded the cut ladder to its full length, it worked perfectly after my the first cut.

    POST INSTALL
    To seal the opening, I caulked around the top of the ladder frame to seal any gap between the ladder frame and the ceiling joists.
    I used mesh and plaster to fill any gaps around the bottom of the ladder frame and the ceiling drywall.
    I framed around the ladder opening with molding to match door-fame molding near the ladder.
    After sanding I primed and painted the molding and bottom of the wooden ladder frame to match the ceiling and door molding.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Much Better Ladder than Wood, Exceeded My Expectations!
    Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    This attic ladder is very well made. I don't agree with the reviewer regarding comment about cheap European wood. The pine frame was of same quality as our U.S. southern pine and was free from knots. The packaging seemed to be appropriate, and was delivered without any damage. Ladder operation is perfect, and climbing is much better and more secure than a step ladder.

    Installation: The written instructions for framing preparation are excellent, but I found the wordless pictorial instructions of the actual stair installation to be a bit confusing. It was sort of a puzzle which I gladly accepted the challenge of solving...you just have to stare at the pictures for several minutes, and it will come to you. The online videos are fairly good...I recommend going to Fakro's website. I disagreed with the use of strings and wedges if you don't buy the expensive and temporary LXK installation brackets. I used the conventional method of cross supports installed initially flush with the drywall side of the ceiling. The only difficulty I had was that the ceiling panel extends about 3/8" lower than flush. So I just used longer screws and backed them out until flush. You'll need a second person to do this if you don't have access to the attic in some other way. (I had to extend my previous access opening by 18" to allow for stair clearance, so I was able to set another ladder through without the second person.) The anchoring to the framing was otherwise easy. Cutting the ladder was also easy. I was concerned about minor adjustments after cutting, but there's an adjustment that allows another ~2" further extension. This is a good feature...if I replace my hallway carpeting with hardwood or different pile carpeting, I can re-adjust.

    Finishing the Installation: The trim finishing only allows for half the ladder's frame width, which is about 3/8". This makes it challenging to nail casing trim around the frame. However, I was able to use 18-gauge nail gun without splintering or nail breakouts. I used conventional colonial window casing, which turned out a little less than ideal because of the 3/8" panel extrusion, but overall it looks good...just had to paint the edges. See pictures.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Best pull down attic stairs
    Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2015

    The sturdiest attic stairs I have ever stood on. Love the locking feature. When I trimmed it out, I put the thickest side of the trim next to the door because the door extends lower then the ceiling. You need to install it so that the stair frame is at the ceiling level. Installation kit is not necessary. all you need to do is screw a support boards on to the front and back of your 2 x 8 framing to support the stairs framing until you anchor it into the 2 x 8 framing. Once the stairs are anchored, you can remove the support boards. Your rough framing will be about 1/2 inch wider and 3/4 inch longer than the stair framing. (25 X 54) The stairs frame outside measurements are about 24.5 x 53.25. It works best if you evenly fill it all the ways around. Just make sure that the stair framing stays square. Makes trimming a lot easier. Love the thick door and the seal. great product.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Design is good but could be improved
    Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2015

    This is high quality set of attic stairs. I was replacing an old set, The plus is that the stairs are sturdy and well made. The latch is a good touch and looks to be high quality. Also insulation is always a good thing. When buying these stairs know what you are getting and what you are giving up. The biggest complaint is a design issue. The treads are about 3 inches wide. They ones they replaced were about 6 inches wide. When moving things up and down, that additional 3 inches adds a lot of stability. The trade off is that they close every time and seal. The other issue is the handle to open the stairs. It works well for a man but is more difficult for kids and women. You also need to find a place to store a 4 foot long handle. I hung it on the trim of an adjacent door frame. I am debating whether that is a good choice. Regardless, you need a convenient place to store the handle. Frankly, the one design change I would want is the tread depth. If that were an option with a latch, I would have preferred that but I have not found that vendor yet.
