Size: 22.5 x 63-Inch rough opening
If you have a ceiling height of over about 10' and have trusses on 24" centers, you have limited options when it comes to finding a decently priced attic ladder system. My installation was in my garage, with a ceiling height of 10'-6" and the pretty much standard truss spacing of 2', and this Louisville ladder was one of a very few options I could find. After reading reviews here on Amazon, it was clear that this product had some issues, but that the ladder system itself was sturdy. I liked the fact that it is rated at 350 lbs, which provides a lot of margin for my 200 lbs in use, so I decided to order it and see how it worked out. After unpacking, mine appeared to come thru the shipping experience in the condition it was shipped, so that was good. Looking it over, the aluminum ladder portion looked very solid and, as expected, the wooden frame portion was pretty rough and the very thin 1/4" door covering was certainly flimsy. The frame being stapled together was also not a surprise, and in truth it's not a big deal because a good measure of the structural integrity comes from the installation which fastens the frame into trusses or ceiling joists and ties it firmly together. So here's a brief rundown on my installation: 1) I added a pair of 2.5" screws (pre-drilled, of course) into each corner of the frame prior to installation. This wasn;t totally necessary, but I like screws a lot better than staples. 2) I took measurements of the unit and re-framed out the size of the existing opening in my ceiling to 1/2" longer to allow for easier installation. My install was complicated by the fact that I had during construction of our home run a heavy wire thru the trusses to feed a 125A subpanel in my adjacent shop, and wouldn't you know it would be in the corner of the longer cutout needed for these stairs. So while it wouldn't impact use of the stairs, it would definitely make installation a bit more difficult. So I figured the 1/2" extra length would help. 3) I decided to forego the use of the metal straps provided for initially hanging the unit, and instead screwed a 2x4 onto the ceiling at each end of the opening, extending about an inch or so into the opening. This allowed me to set the unit into the opening and ensured the door would be exactly flush with the ceiling drywall. I debated holding those 2x4's back a little so that the unit framing would sit on them, but I decided I was going to add a little thickness to the door covering, and setting it up that extra 1/4" would work better for me. 4) I climbed up in the attic and my son-in-law passed the stair unit up to me (it's not light, but he's a weightlifter), and together we gently fished it under the previously mentioned wire in the corner and set it into the hole on the two 2x4's. 5) Since you cannot get to the inside of the frame with the door closed (the folded ladder is in the way), I drilled and placed two 3" screws thru the trusses and into the stair unit frame in each corner to hold the unit in place. The hinged end of course needed to be tightly up against the ceiling framing I had placed between the trusses, and then with the door still closed the free end of the unit could be shifted side-to-side to exactly center the end of the door. This worked at least as well as trying to measure corner-to-corner to make the frame square. 6) At this point the 2x4's on the ends could be removed which permitted opening the stair door. Leaving the ladder fully folded, it was out of the way allowing standing on a step ladder to install permanent fasteners. I used 1/4 x 3" lags in the hinged end thru the corner brackets to which the springs are attached and thru the hinge itself. I attached the other end using spacers and 2.5" deck screws (a pair of shims would have worked fine, but I decided to make some custom spacers since I have a table saw nearby. 7) After this I removed the two temporary screws in each corner, shimmed out the two sides to get the framing perfectly straight, cut two spacers and placed another 1/4 x 3" lag in each side thru the pivot brackets. Finally, I placed a pair of shims in a couple of places on each side and put a 2.5" deck screw thru each location. This really isn't needed for structural reasons, but it stabilizes the frame sides in the event it might ever think about warping. 8) At this point, we unfolded the ladder leaving the last section folded under, and carefully measured the distance to the floor to see how long that third section would need to be to reach the floor. Depending upon how far "open" you push the door, this measurement can vary by more than an inch since the swing arms flex, so we had to decide about that. We ended up re-cutting to make the last section shorter after being conservative the first time. Allowing 1/4" for the thickness of the feet to be bolted on, we made the final cut and mounted the feet. We made the measurement with a 4' metal rule, aligned the foot to get the proper angle to cut (you can also cut square if you like) and made the cut with a saber saw and medium metal cutting blade. A quick climb up the ladder to check it out and this wrapped up the basic install. After this, I wanted to add a secondary skin to the door panel since it truly is flimsy. I made this from hardboard paneling I had left over from other work in the garage. I first glued on 1/4" thick x 2" wide plywood strips around the perimeter of the door and across it between the rivets in four places, and then glued the skin in place. This made for a "box beam" construction that's light weight enough to allow the springs to still close the door but very rigid. Then some 3/4" beveled trim on the ceiling, a little paint and the door is done. Bottom line: It was a little work to get to a finished product, but I'm happy with the result. The unit is a bit flimsy out of the box, but it operates smoothly and is very straightforward to install. The ladder is a little narrow, but there's not much you can do about this if you have to fit into the 22.5" spacing between trusses. Overall it's sufficiently sturdy and gets the job done.

Al the reviews are the same on this one. The frame is cheap, the quality of the product is good except for the wood around it. Guess what guys, who cares about the pine frame around it???? The part that you use and that really matters works well. Quality build. Don’t try to open it until it is installed. You’ll likely crack that flimsy 1/4” panel. Get help installing it, like a strong buddy what can lift 80-100lbs above his head kind of strong buddy. Or get two wimpy friends that can lift 50lbs each and put them on two ladders below while you are in the rafters. If you are nuts you can install a wood wedge block on one side and try to install it by yourself, but it is not recommended. Once installed you will love this thing. Solid, sturdy, and you only have to install it correctly one time for it to last the life of your home. The extra insulation included is cheap and moves around until you tack it down. Don’t pay the extra for that little bit of insulation it isn’t worth much. I wish these guys would put a finishing kit together for sealing up the attic space...I would buy something like that. Now it is Sheetrock trim corners time. Would I buy this one again....100% yes. I like the build on it.

It’s a big ladder and can be dangerous opening it. I didn’t receive any safety information if there was any available. You definitely need to stand to the side to open as it’s a significant mass coming at you when standing at the base of the ladder.

This ladder fit perfectly, no adjustments needed. I have 12 foot ceiling height, this ladder was perfect. It's very sturdy and easy to use. One complaint, the foam insulation is not properly tacked down so it can get in the way when closing. This problem was easily overcome with a bit of glue.

Ladder is much heavier than the cheap wood ladder we removed. Two people required to install. Directions are clear and accurate. This ladder can be difficult to fold and stow when mounted in 12' ceiling. The aluminum ladder is sturdy for carrying stuff to the attic... I definitely recommend this ladder for homeowners needing tall ceiling access in to the attic.

Was looking for a 10' 9'' ladder to fit between my 2 ft/22 inch floor joistsbin my attic. This was the only fit after searching multiple big box home stores and calling manufacturers. It works great. Ladders this size are but for two people operation but can manage to open and close with use of a step ladder safely. I had some questions before buying so I called customer service at Louisville and they had an engineer walk through my install and operation questions since this was my only choice.

Are use this on an 11 foot ceiling which isn’t standard by any means. Had to cut a little off the bottom of the latter. Not a problem though because the way the feet attach you would never know and it’s very durable.

This is a very sturdy ladder for sure. I used it in my garage that has 12' ceilings to be able to store things above the garage. Very good investment. The only complaint is the handle that helps open and close the doors is broken so I need that replaced. The price on the ladder was a little on the high side but worth the money I paid.
