Werner Two Section Aluminium Loft Ladder with Handrail

Product Information

If a trapdoor is already in place, move forward to the next step. However, if you need a new trapdoor, please follow this step accordingly. Using some rope and timber, temporarily attach timber around the short ends of the frame so that it hangs from the timber. After doing this, attach the springs. Step three: Hang the ladder in the holder from the frame of the attic You will likely need to adjust your new wooden ladder. As such, find a suitable cutting surface and place the bottom section of the ladder onto that surface. CookieYes sets this cookie to record the default button state of the corresponding category and the status of CCPA. It works only in coordination with the primary cookie. You can extend the ladder 15cm or 30cm longer than its regular length. This will depend on your floor-to-ceiling height. If needed, extend the ladder now. Step ten: Finalise the installation

Now close the hatch door and draw a line, using the measurement, up from the bottom edge. Make sure this is parallel with the opening. The tensioned springs you fitted will hold this in position. Step nine: Extend the ladder now if needed

Fitting instructions for these types of ladders can be found in Manthorpe’s instruction manual. Here we’ve broken it down into simple steps to help make the process easier for you. We’ve also broken down the instructions for the GLL256 and GLL257 loft ladder fittings so that you can see the differences when it comes to installing the two models. Step one: (If needed) Hang the trap door Lay your loft ladder in its folded structure onto the loft floor at the trapdoor side of the opening. The hinges should be facing down onto the short edge of the opening at this point. You can now pass the catch operator through the trap door hole. Do this from the underside position. Make sure the pointer is pointing upwards towards the trapdoor edge. Then place the travel stop ring over the operator. Ensure the securing tag is at 45 degrees to the trapdoor centre line. You can now use a coloured filler matching the timber. This will ensure the staining and polishing on the surface do not stand out. How to install a Youngman Telescopic Loft Ladder As with any ladder fitting, read the instructions that come with the ladder to ensure you do not fit it incorrectly.

If you have done this correctly, your loft ladder should touch the floor when the hatch and struts are fully extended. Some loft ladder kits provide plastic feet for the end of the ladder. So, these should allow the ladder to sit squarely with the floor when fitted. You can use the existing cover as a template for the new piece. Make sure that as you cut the new piece out, there is a slightly loose fit around each edge of the cove, around 3mm (⅛ of an inch maximum). Spring assisted 'easy stow' system gives the user total control when lowering or raising the loft ladder.As you’ll see, we’ve included all the major brands, so from Youngman to FAKRO, Manthorpe and Werner, we’ve got you covered. Read on to find out more. Apply caulk to fill the spaces. This will further minimise drafting and make for a neater appearance. Step six: Cut the ladder to length

Your ladder should now be able to swing from the hinges and slide freely up and down the guides. Step eight: Fit the stowing ‘V’ rod This will enable you to attach the ladder with the box to the frame for the attic opening. Place wedges beneath the timber lengths and use a spirit level to make sure it is flush with the opening to the attic. Step four: Screw the ladder in place

Sorry

You must have the hinge guides already sitting below the extra top stops before fitting. If so, you can fix the extra top stops using two M4 bolts and nuts. Step six: Fit the bottom stops Bring down the ladder so that it is fully open. Then remove the studs from the top tips of the ladder’s rear frame. Remove the attachments and protective parts/wires holding it together. These can be disposed of. Step two: Attach thin timber lengths to shorter ends of the ladder frame

Homeowners and professional fitters can benefit from fitting a FAKRO loft ladder. So how do you install one?This will help determine the required ladder change when fitting the ladder. Step two: Mark a vertical centre line on the ceiling joist Slide the carrier bar into the hole of one of the carrier tubes and slide the two springs onto the bar. Then slide the other end of the carrier bar into the other sub-carrier tube hole. Step seven: Adjust the springs and swivel pins If you want a different type of loft ladder, look no further than our Roofing Superstore! We have many ladders for you to choose from, including more by Youngman, Manthorpe loft ladders and Werner and FAKRO loft ladders. Place the ends of the ‘V’ rod through the holes in the tips/stiles. Now lower the ‘V’ rod to the loft floor. Make sure this lines up with the centre of the ladder. Once you have identified the centre and found a suitable space for the twist catch, drill a hole about 13mm (half an inch) at the cross section. Clear off any debris and slot through the catch operator so the long part is facing into the attic.
