About this deal

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. Note: Take care not to push or pull the box frame out of place when fitting the screws upwards. This can cause problems with the way the hatch lid closes. It can also cause problems with the way the ladder extends and sits when fully extended. Fix your hinges on the same end as where you intend to place the ladder. Make sure there is a minimum of 26mm (one inch) of clearance between the top face of the trapdoor and the top edge of the framework. Step two: Fit the twist catch

Screw these hinges in place using the holes provided onto the trapdoor and floor. Step eight: Open the ladder and fit the stowing ‘V’ rod Apply caulk to fill the spaces. This will further minimise drafting and make for a neater appearance. Step six: Cut the ladder to length Add the box frame to hold the ladder and hide it in place. There are two ways to fix the box in place:

Now open the hatch door and draw a vertical line on the inside of the trapdoor frame. Ensure that it corresponds with the centre line of the trapdoor catch.

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 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.

You will use this to make sure the loft ladder is a suitable height. If the height is correct, then you can move forward with the rest of the ladder fitting. Step six: Fit the ladder hinge guides and ladder stops 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. Optional): Before securing the frame in place, add mineral wool insulation around the frame to prevent drafts. Screw through the piece of board, insulation, and frame to secure it in place. Step five: Caulk around the frame Ensure the ladder opens the correct way and position it square to the ceiling. This guarantees the battens nailed to the sides support the ladder.

The tensioned springs you fitted will hold this in position. Step nine: Extend the ladder now if needed Carefully set the ladder down in the open position and go to the top. Take the stowing rod and put each section into the holes provided at the top of the ladder legs. Place the stops provided to stop the rods from sliding out of the holes. You can now screw the rod in place on the floor of the loft at its connection point. Step nine: Prepare the stowing pole Remove the original trapdoor and its hinges. Then remove any support battens from the four faces of the loft trap. This should make the faces of the frame flat. Any left screw holes can be filled with wood glue for better performance.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. Loft ladders are a fantastic way to access your attic space. In fact, for many properties, they are an essential feature. It saves you from buying a separate ladder you would have to store in places like the shed or garage. Instead, you can collapse and sit the ladder right in the space. 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. Then fit the trap door to the bottom edge of the opening. This should create a flush appearance with the ceiling when closed. Make sure to test the opening and closing of the door. Step two: Find the centre of the short side of the trapdoor closest to the floor when opened 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

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. Then use a tape measure to find the distance from the bottom of the second section to the floor. This will help you identify how much you need to cut off from the ladder.

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 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. Using a bradawl, create guide holes by pre-drilling pilot holes (around 2mm diameter) for all screws. Then use 35mm screws to fix it in place. Now, you will most likely have a kit at hand with most of the items you need for the fitting. However, you will have to get other tools and parts as the kit does not include them all. So, here is what you will need to make sure you have before fitting your loft ladder: Please note: It is important to ensure the location pins engage with each groove in the endcaps. This will guarantee complete stability.
