Tools and Hardware Reviews of Kidde KL-2S Two-Story Fire Escape Ladder with Anti-Slip Rungs, 13-Foot
Customer Review: Good Product
Summary: 4 Stars
My law office in on the second floor of a building built over 100 years ago, long before modern fire codes. I wanted this fire escape ladder as there is only 1 exit and I was concerned that in case of fire that 1 exit might be blocked. This ladder addresses my concerns and is reasonably priced and has decent quality. However, like other reviewers, I am disappointed it is designed for 1 time use only, as this prevents us from actually testing it. Since I bought this ladder with knowledge from other reviews that it was 1 time use only, I cannot really complain. However, I did deduct 1 star. 4 stars from me.Customer Review: Be sure to open the box before an emergency!
Summary: 4 Stars
We already own one of these Kidde ladders, and I just bought a second one for another bedroom. I almost put the whole box in the closet without opening it, since I know how the other ladder works. But luckily I opened the box anyway, just to check it out. The interior packaging has changed - there is so much plastic wrapping and cardboard packaging taped around the ladder that there's no way you could deploy it in an emergency. So be sure to open the box and remove all the packaging before putting the ladder away.Customer Review: Appears to be a quality product
Summary: 4 Stars
Thank goodness we have not had to use this ladder in an emergency, however, we did try the product by hanging the ladder out the second story window and had our 17 year old son (volunteer firefighter with the jr. explorers) climb down the ladder rather quickly without a problem. It did sway a little, and I know there is a product by Kidde that has a non-sway ladder also, which was more costly. Hope no one ever has to use it, but it is a must on a second floor.Customer Review: Not much to say
Summary: 4 Stars
I was expecting to receive an emergency ladder that I could use out of a bed-room window and that is what this product is. I did find it a little strange that the instructions say "one-time use only". I'm not sure if that's a sales gimick, a safety issue (since the fire could damage the ladder) or if it's a durability matter. The ladder does seem quite solid and is well priced.Customer Review: Handy and easy to use
Summary: 4 Stars
This escape ladder required no assembly, just tear the plastic off and it's ready to go. Clearly designed with emergency use in mind, it mounts in seconds and opens with a simple rip of a reclosable velcro strap. This would have received a five star rating, but the white paint was runny and showed a rusty-type of discoloration.
