My house has large windows on the first floor below the bedroom windows. Are the lower windows going to break on deploying the ladder?

I think not. You should lower the ladder, not just throw it out the window. If you have questions, contact X-It. Contact info is on their website.

I have not deployed the ladder, however I have looked at it. It does not appear to unroll, but expand like a accordion. I do not think it would cause a problem. Hope this helped.

No. This ladder is great, light weight and extends from the bottom up, not from the top down, it also has simple clips that lock in place. It is perfect for my loft and I have 2 teens that go up and down all day long.

yes - we advise safe practice with your x-it ladder by deploying it then climbing up a few steps from the ground - be sure to properly re-pack your x-it ladder.

I think the problem would be that the ladder is not really secured only the hooks are holding over the gunwale. I think the ladder can support the weight, it's a question of it being stable at the weight. Hope that helps a little

dont exactly understand the question, but when the ladder is properly clicked and locked I think it would be fine I think

Hi. It can be a bit fragile on the stairs. But, that is exactly what we did. And since then have moved across the country with it in tact. Should survive a move up to a bedroom. :-)

Yes, because the top of the ladder frame is bolted to a joist. See manufacture for correct size of ladder.

No. The ladder can not be mounted on the short dimension of the pull down door. It takes almost the full space to secular the metal steps

No. Trust me for your children's safety do not buy its poor quality my daughter went to lay on the bed and the boards cracked she's only 52 lbs and when we were building it all the would split so the screws are exposed and the ladder is very flimsy. I took mine apart and am selling it foe scraps

Yes, I can lower and raise the window easily because the door guard FALLS OFF too easily! I have stopped using them because they are just a nuisance and WOULD NOT RECOMMEND to anyone.

Just under 4 ft maximum. Theoretically you could angle the vertical legs and make that lower, but I would guess the safe max weight on the ladder will be lower.

yes, the x-it ladder steel grapple hook secures to the inside edge of the windows sill and is not effected by the window/wall size.

You should have no problem at 18 feet. I can reach Windows at 21 feet. The ladder is 17 ft, I stand at ab out the 15 ft step

I have a ranger 800 crew and the top of the fold down window does barely touch the roof with no harm. This is all I could help you with this subject.

The bottom rungs can be hard to open. I have not tried hanging from a top story and drop it, but in my experience you would need to work it to get it open. You could manually open it out of a window though. It's not heavy and you can spread the bottom rungs open, then toss it out and it should spread out full.

I have not experienced problems. But you should know that it does not snap at any desired position. It snaps at every step of the ladder ( 1 foot).

No but you will want to secure the window somehow so that it cannot open. I cut a broomstick to fit exactly in the space between the raised window and the top of the window sill.
