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. This will help determine the required ladder change when fitting the ladder. Step two: Mark a vertical centre line on the ceiling joist This will enable you to attach the ladder with the box to the frame for the attic opening. Place wedges beneath the timber lengths and use a spirit level to make sure it is flush with the opening to the attic. Step four: Screw the ladder in place

In the kit, you will find hinge guides. You can identify these by the wheel mechanisms. First, remove the coverings from the bottom of the ladder. Now slot these guides onto the section of the ladder that will sit on the attic floor. The hinge should be facing upwards at this point. Once you have identified the centre and found a suitable space for the twist catch, drill a hole about 13mm (half an inch) at the cross section. Clear off any debris and slot through the catch operator so the long part is facing into the attic.

Please note: It is important to ensure the location pins engage with each groove in the endcaps. This will guarantee complete stability.

So, make sure to test and measure the distances accurately.

You can screw this in place to ensure it doesn’t fall off.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.
