Werner AL2210 Universal Aluminum Attic Ladder Review

Werner AL2210 Universal Aluminum Attic Ladder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Ladder was easy enough to install, and fit tight all around the door at first. One week later, the door has a large gap on one side. After inspection, the thin plywood has bowed down leaving the gap. I am going to try to use some wood strips on the back side to try and straighten the door back out...we will see.
I was talking to a friend (after I installed mine) and he had similar trouble with one corner bowing, and leaving a 3/8" gap.
The door is just to thin and only support is crossways, none length wise.
And, it is just too much trouble to uninstall and take back. Really should be made better.

Werner A2210 300-Pound Duty Rating Aluminum Folding Access Ladder, 10-Foot Review

Werner A2210 300-Pound Duty Rating Aluminum Folding Access Ladder, 10-Foot

I was looking for an attic ladder that would handle a 10' ceiling. Considered the A2210 & AL2210. After calling Werner, learned that the AL2210 is the aluminum version of what was previously a steel ladder. It includes dampers/spring return, but is made overseas. A2210 has springs only, but made in U.S. Ordered the A2210 (U.S. made). The ladder itself is sturdy; frame is a little light but satisfactory. Instructions have you install a couple of temporary cleats on the ceiling at the ends of the rough opening -- nail/screw into headers. They recommended extending just enough to catch the ladder frame, but not the thin plywood door. This could easily result in the entire unit falling while you are attempting to attach the frame to the joists and headers. I nailed the cleats so they were closer together, ensuring the unit wouldn't fall during construction. You need to remove the springs, so that you can open the door while placing on the cleats. I did it alone -- definitely a handful. Recommend two people minimum for the setting. When squared up and permanently installed using screws and shims, the door didn't align properly when closed. Had to loosen four nuts on the piano hinge, and adjust. Do not attempt to place the unit on the cleats with the springs attached and the door open -- it can snap closed and cause significant damage to you and the unit. This is experience speaking! Now that unit is installed and adjusted, it is fine. Very stiff unit that is quite secure. Steps are a little close to the plywood door, making footing a little dicey. Also, with a ten foot ceiling, you need to be tall (5' 8" or more) and relatively strong to rotate the second and third ladder segments after swinging the door down from the ceiling. One note in summary -- be careful, and use enough people during installation.

The box was beat up during shipping and the ladder was knocked out of square. The frame is 1x4 pine, stapled together. the ceiling panel is 1/8 luan and kinda flimsy. I would not want it in my house or somewhere that I would be up and down it a lot. But all in all it was a good buy. I haven't installed it yet.

Werner AA8 250-Pound Duty Rating Televator Aluminum Universal Telescoping Attic Ladder, 8-Foot Review

Werner AA8 250-Pound Duty Rating Televator Aluminum Universal Telescoping Attic Ladder, 8-Foot
Average Reviews:

I bought a 8' televator ladder. The ladder installation was simple. The instruction were great (and I am not a handy person). They claim it's a one person job. I found that to be quite true. There is a well thought out installaiton procedure and well designed parts (assuming you read directions carefully). The only down side is that it does not come with a door. I assume this is because the opening sizes vary so much. They do provide all the necessary hardware and (excellent) templates for drilling holes. You have to measure, buy and finish is the plywood for the door. Unfortunatly this can be pricey. I had to buy a whole 4x8 sheet of birch plywood and only used a fraction of it. The directions for the door assembly are a little less clear than the ladder install but I managed with out too much hassle. The only other thing I can think of now that I didn't think about when I was installing was that the ladder reduces the overall size of the attic access hole. We now have to re-box some things in the attic so we can fit them through the smaller access. Some bigger things in the attic may require removal of the stairs but I think that won't be too bad to do if/when I need to do it. It is great not having to stash a step ladder upstairs any more. I knew I had to do something after my wife fell off the step ladder while climbing out of the attic one day. This is a great alternative when you don't have the space for a real set of stairs.

This ladder is extremely effective and is extremely easy to install. It has several different sizes to choose from, which can be modified to fit different floor heights. The gas cylinders are a great improvement over the old spring-loaded systems. I would definitely buy this again!
