10 ft. 1 in., 54 in. x 30 in. Insulated Wood Attic Ladder with 300 lb. Load Capacity Type IA Duty Rating

Nice unit. Exactly as described. Used as a retrofit to replace a larger stair unit, which had broken. Had to modify the rough opening from 30 x 66" to 30 x 54". Ceiling height was 8ft 1in, so trimmed the bottom of the ladder as directed. Instructions are accurate but can be difficult to understand as they are entirely illustrations--no words.

Rock solid ladder. Easy to install. The only problem I found was drilling holes and driving screws that hold the frame of the ladder to the ceiling joist is difficult. The ladder gets in the way and yuu can't get your drill or driver close enough to finish the job. However if you use a bit with a 1/4" hex shank you can drill holes and drive screws easily by using a DeWalt or Craftsman 3" Speed-lok magnetic bit holder. The bit holder acts as an extension for the drill bit and for the hex bit used to drive the screws.

Excellent, easy to install.

Solid construction, installed by a pro, couldn't be happier, this is the second Fakro unit I've purchased in the past year (one new construction, one a remodel)...

Built solid, finished nice, sealed and insulated, priced respectfully.

The Fakro 10 ft. 1 in., 54 in X 30 in. Insulated Wood Attic Ladder worked great for my application. It was easy to install and allows for greater ease getting into my attic.

Easy to install if you are a DIYer. It was easier then the reviews led me to believe. Works like a charm!

I ordered this online, as it was not in stock at any HD store. Its expensive compared to the ladders in the store, but this one featured an insulated door. I wasn't too sure about the "rod" method of opening the door. But, after using this door, I will recommend this to anyone replacing their attic door. It is fantastic. The 'rod' method and latch is superior to the springs (no latch) on other doors. The beauty of this design is that it latches tight, for a smooth, flat and secure close, rather than gaping, and uneven like other doors. Since it features a rubber weather seal, the latch closes the door snugly against the weather seal. You must take the rather long rod and insert it in a small hole in the door, twisting to unlock. When you do so, the door comes down about 12-15 inches, and stops. You pull it the rest of the way, nice and safe. The springs support the weight of the door, and it is very easy to open and close. No risk of it falling. The springs are on either side of the ladder itself, attached to the hinges, and then flush against the door. This means this hardware in not in the way of the door opening, and you won't get pinched. There is much more room for accessing your attic than with other doors, that have the springs in the way of the opening. (see photo for comparison) This door does not have a piano hinge, but instead, two very heavy duty steel hinges, that are screwed into the house framing. Very sturdy. Note that this door, as with others, uses 1" framing. But recall that the frame is screwed into the house framing, and the door hardware is as well. As a result, upon installation, this framing is not the primary support structure for the door: your home framing its. The door becomes integral to your home framing, it does not hang off of the 1" frame after installation. I have included images of the old door, sagging, and with the springs exposed for comparison. The new Fakro door, with rod next to it is visible, as well as close-ups of the latch itself. Finally, you see images of the finished (not painted yet) door, with my moulding added. I have a comparison photo of the door open, where you can see the springs and the hinges (barely). I recommend this door 100%. I am very pleased with it, and will recommend it to every one. It was easy to install, or rather, as easy as any other attic door, and its construction is very good. The design is superior to any other door I have tried. Its more expensive, in fact, twice as much, but its is far superior, convenient and completely seals my attic, keeping cold, heat and little critters from entering my house.

This is the second unit that arrived from the factory that was miss built. This time I fixed it because I did not want to try at third time. I would not recommend this manufacture.
