Tools and Hardware Reviews of Kidde KL-2S Two-Story Fire Escape Ladder with Anti-Slip Rungs, 13-Foot
Customer Review: Question Before I Buy
Summary: 5 Stars
What I wanna know is how quick does it take to set this up from start to ready to step on it. Remember, in a fire, there is precious little time to set it up.
Also, is it light enough for my seven year old to set it up by herself if heaven-forbid that becomes necessary? The chain ones are worthless. They are so heavy and get so tangled and are so hard to deploy, that unless you have it hanging outside 24/7/365 you will never get it set up in time during a fire. Keeping it unfurled at all times is impractical in this crime-ridden city.
The last reviewer's comments were utterly worthless. Because it's a knock-off that means it is not able to do the job? Even he admits that it looks better than the item it was intended to knock-off. I was expecting lawsuits based upon the ladders undependability or it being unsafe for use in a fire. Instead, the lack of noise in that direction seems to indicate that this is a good choice to make.
If you have an answer to the first questions I have posed, please leave a review with an answer. Thanks!
Customer Review: Life Safety
Summary: 5 Stars
As a firefighter, I strongly reccomend escape ladders to people who live on or above the second floor. If a fire starts at night on the first floor smoke detectors on the second or third floors may or may not activate and wake up building occupants before superheated gasses and fire make escape through the first floor an impossability. Buy whatever brand you want but make sure it's appropriate for your specific needs. Ensure if you live on the third or fourth floor you buy a ladder that long or longer. Take into consideration overhangs under windows that will effect the length of the ladder. Make sure escape ladder fits the window. Use only if all other exits are blocked. Practice opening the ladder and dropping it out the window, but not using it.
Customer Review: A very important item that I hope to never have to use
Summary: 5 Stars
Be advised: You can't open this item all the way up, it is meant for one time use in an emergency. I'm okay with it being a one time use, just knowing it's there makes me feel safer. It seems like it will be easy to open and use. The product appears well made and sturdy. (Again, I didn't release the ladder).Customer Review: UPSTAIRS SAFETY
Summary: 5 Stars
WE LIVE IN A HOME WITH NO ESCAPE ROUTE FROM THE UPSTAIRS AND IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY WE NEEDED A WAY OUT OF THE WINDOW.
THIS LADDER WAS BOTH VERY AFFORDABLE, EASY TO QUICKLY SET UP AND LONG ENOUGH SO IN CASE WE EVER DO HAVE TO USE IT NO ONE SHOULD HAVE ANY PROBLEMS.
Customer Review: life saver
Summary: 5 Stars
This is wonderful, we have one in each kids room we have practice drills and this is great we live in an apartment that has no back door so this is essential since all the bedrooms are in the back and we live on the 2nd floor.
