From the Manufacturer
Enjoy safe access to your attic space with this FAKRO LST insulated steel scissor attic ladder (model 66875), which fits into rough openings measuring 22 x 31 inches and is designed for ceiling heights between 7 feet, 2 inches and 9 feet, 6 inches. Satisfying all technical and safety requirements, FAKRO folding attic ladders maximize ease of use and comfort without the need for installing costly and space consuming staircases. The small ladder dimensions, achieved thanks to the unique folding system, allow the ladder to be installed in smaller openings. The S-shaped strings not only give this attic ladder a modern look but they also perform the role of a handrail helping to climb the ladder. This insulated ladder features thick rubber gasket insulation between the boards that provides an R-Value of 5.2 to protect against heat loss. The ladder box frame is constructed of high-quality pine, and the hatch's unique opening mechanism ensures the ladder opens slowly. Once fully open, the mechanism will hold the hatch in position to prevent it from slamming shut. A specially embossed pattern on the step surface prevents accidental slippage. This ladder has a maximum user weight of 300 pounds. It's backed by a two-year limited warranty.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
They make it seem like it's a pretty easy install, and that you could potentially do it yourself - I decided to get a handyman I know to help me, and I am *VERY* glad I did. It was *HARD*, and I've done my fair share of home improvement fun - it probably took us a good 6 hours to install it, with fitting, drilling, screwing things in, etc. BUT, once that was done, you can't argue that it's built like a tank and really well engineered.
My ceiling was a bit beyond their default maximum height, so I also purchased an additional step - I believe you can safely add up to 2 of these according to them. It is SUPER easy to get in and out of the attic now - you just use their little pole to pull the opening to a 90 degree angle, then I think you're supposed to use the pole to pull down the stairs, but I can easily reach them, and just unlock them, pull them down to the floor, and climb up into the attic. When the stairs are lowered, it probably takes up twice the length of the space, so that's about all that's needed. The stairs are VERY sturdy, and the expandable parts on the side act as a hand rail for climbing up. Very slick.
The only downside of this ladder vs others I've seen is that the opening is a fair bit smaller, probably 1/2 the size (because the size of the ladder is much smaller). I didn't subtract any stars for this because I don't care personally, and I could easily see this being a plus for some people (with less space for the actual ladder).
Overall, I don't think you can find a better attic ladder if you try, but it's also 3x the cost of a normal one. Since I'd rather not have it break and come crashing down on my cement garage floor, it's worth it for me. :)
The installation was straightforward and not complex. I recommend reviewing the installation video and product design specs that Fakro provides online. The online instructions might seem a bit confusing before you get the product, but it all makes sense as you work through the installation process. Prior to this I have never done any significant framing but I had no problems building the frame because the ladder fit nicely between joists right were we wanted it to go. Given Fakro's instructions, I would have been comfortable cutting into a joist if I had had to. Two people can install this ladder by themselves like we did but it will not be easy, and you will be significantly unhappy if the ladder has to be uninstalled (see below on that).
NOTE A POTENTIAL PROBLEM: the instructions (both online and those coming with the product) show that the height of the frame you need to build can be anywhere from 4" to approx. 9". The minimum frame size of 4" is absolutely incorrect, and the Fakro picture showing the adjusting nut sitting underneath the metal bar where the ladder hangs onto the frame during installation is nonsense. I verified this by calling Fakro USA and you may wish to do the same if you intend to build a frame on the shorter side. I would say approx 5 1/2" might be a better minimum. I ended up extending the frame with another set of 2x4s which worked out well in the end, but that necessitated temporarily taking down the half-installed ladder.
Overall I am happy with the ladder and would purchase it again, and would consider other Fakro products in the future.
