Step 1: To Install the Loft Ladder
Installation Consideration
The following points should be considered before installing the Loft Ladder.
Loft Hatch
The loft hatch must be downward opening. It may be necessary to refit your loft hatch
door so that it opens downwards so that the hatch when open hangs down behind
the ladder when it is deployed.
Loft Opening
It is recommended that the loft ladder is installed so that it is orientated parallel to the
longer side of the opening. This will give the user more comfortable access to the loft
and will be easier for the user to take items into the loft.
Secure Fixing
The two fixing brackets supplied must be attached to a secure part of the loft
structure such as a ceiling joist or sound timber bridging and securely fastened to
the joists.
Footprint
When the ladder is opened there should be enough space available at the base of
the ladder for a person to easily and safely get onto and climb the ladder.
Tools
You will need the following tools and materials: Pencil, set-square and measuring
tape (mm) for marking out.
A drill and a 4mm drill bit for drilling the bracket xing holes and a Posidrive
screwdriver for tightening the eight bracket fixing screws.
Strong string to extend the springs during installation.

Step 1: To Install the Loft Ladder
Installation
Marking Out
1.1 Measure and draw the ‘centre line’
on the ceiling joist midway across the
width of the loft opening where the
mounting brackets will be fitted, Fig 1.1.
Measure 188 mm either side of this line
and draw a vertical line at these points
greater than 90 mm long to mark the
mounting bracket centre lines.
1.2 Refer to Fig 1.2 and Fig 1.3. The
brackets are supplied with their ladder
sub-frame carrier tubes tted. Note that
these brackets are ‘handed’, left bracket
and right bracket.
Take the first bracket and place it on the
mounting board so that it is placed over
the bracket centre line and slide it until
the lower screw hole is centred on this
line. Mark the centre point of this hole.
Fixing the Brackets
1.3 Remove the bracket and drill a 4mm
diameter hole at the position just
marked.
Fix the bracket using one of the fixing
screws supplied. Similarly drill the other
three holes (one on top) and screw in
the other screws. Repeat for the other
bracket, see Fig 1.3.

bar into the corresponding hole on the
other sub-carrier tube, Fig 1.8.
There is groove near each end of the

horizontal. Hook a loop of strong string
to the end of the spring.
1.9. Lift the sub-frame carrier tube
above the horizontal and pull the string
to extend the spring so that it reaches
and clips on to the hinged swivel pin,
see Fig 1.9 and inset for close-up of
spring on the pin. Remove the string.
1.10. Now slide the spring eyelet along
the pin so that it locates in the groove
on the pin, see Fig 1.10. Repeat for the

Step 1: To Install the Loft Ladder
Warning
Be very careful when carrying out the
next stage as there is no ladder to stop
the sub-frame from swinging forward
with considerable force if it is moved
inadvertently.
1.12. Pull down on the sub-frame
carrier bar until it touches against its
stop.
1.13. The tensioned springs will hold it
in this position, see Fig 1.13.
Adjusting the Ladder Length
1.14. The ladder length can be
extended by 15cm or 30cm from its
minimum length to best suit your
oor-to-oor height.
The adjustment tube is shown in
Fig 1.14:
a. Minimum length - no extension
b. Extended by 15cm
c. Extended by 30cm
Remove the two bolts from the endcaps
and have them ready to fix the swivel
arms to the ladder at step 1.21.
