Tools and Hardware Reviews of First Alert EL52-2 Two-Story 14-Foot Escape Ladder
Customer Review: Good solid escape ladder
Summary: 5 Stars
We tried this ladder and it works well. It is not pleasant crawling out a 2nd story window but this ladder performs well after you do. It's easy to deploy with a strap holding the rungs together until mounted. You open the big velcro strap to let them fall. The rubber feet seem less likely to damage the wall or cut through siding than the sharp metal standoffs on some other ladders. There was no warning about one-time use on this ladder so we practiced. This is critical to both test the function and become familiar with it before any emergency use. With some strap refolding I got it back into the strap and original box cleanly.
Very cheap protection against being trapped by a fire.
Customer Review: Required Windowsill Dimensions for 2-story ladder
Summary: 5 Stars
Consumers need to purchase the right ladder for their windowsill. I had to return the two-story ladder for a 3-story ladder because my windowsill depth was wider than the 2-story could accommodate. The EL52 First Alert Fire Escape Ladder user's manual says, "The window should be at least 20 inches (51 cm) wide and 32 inches (81 cm) high to give you enough clearance to exit safely. The windowsill width should be between a minimum of 6 inches (15 cm) and a maximum of 10 inches (25 cm). Measure windowsill from outside to inside." Be sure to get the right ladder for your windowsill depth.Customer Review: Very well made
Summary: 5 Stars
Fortunately I haven't had to use this yet, but I was very pleased when I opened the box and saw the quality of the ladder, and the design is perfect. It will either fit over a window sill or a patio-deck balcony very securely, and appears very easy to use "in a hurry" as would be required in a fire. For the price (or frankly any price) this product can't be beat. Very satisfied.Customer Review: Best deal for the money...
Summary: 5 Stars
I like this product because it is easy to use and it's sturdy. Just make sure you don't have a window directly beneath the window you are climbing out of. If you do, this product won't work because you would be putting too much pressure on the window on the lower level and could possibly break it. But, the product itself is great. Perfect for my situation.Customer Review: Great Deal! Hope I Never Need It.
Summary: 5 Stars
One of those items that you hope you never need to use. I was very impressed with the quality of this item for the small price I paid for it. I would highly recommend this to anyone living in an upstairs apartment or 2-story building. Nothing in the box to prevent you from popping the ladder open in a short amount of time. It's perfect!
