Fire Escape Ladder

Comments about Dial Safety Ladder Corp 2-Story Fire Escape Ladder:

I bought this ladder for my 14yr old daughter's room because she has the most dangerous bedroom from which to escape in the event of a fire. The ladder came fully assembled. I walked through the process of using it with her. It was VERY easy to hook onto the window. We have 8 foot high celings and the ladder went a couple of feet past the first floor level and almost touched the ground where we have a partially exposed basement. We climbed the ladder a little bit from the bottom up, to make sure it was sturdy, and it was very sturdy. We decided to save the whole climb down from the window for the actual emergency ... which we pray will never happen! However, It gave me a little more peace of mind knowing that my daughter had a safe alternate escape from her bedroom.

I bought this product and was so pleased when it arrived. I opened the box, took out the ladder and went up to my daughter's bedroom to try it out. I undid the velcro that holds it in place, attached it to my daughter's 2nd story window and it fell perfectly down to the ground. If ever we have a fire, I know that we will have a secure and safe way to exit our house thanks to this ladder.

I remember the fire escape ladder we used to have growing up... I swear it was 50 lbs. Who knew there was a fire escape ladder out there that I actually could lift with my pinky (not comfortably, but I can). Luckily we haven't had to use it yet, but it's nice to know it is upstairs and ready to go.

My son was so excited we hooked it up to our inside railing. My very active son wasn't able to climb the ladder without help because the rungs were too far apart.

So glad that this ladder is available. It seems easy to use--it's sent ready to go. It fit easily under our daughter's crib (along with the fire proof blanket).

Fortunately, we have not had to use this ladder. I feel confident it would hold my 100 lb child. It is rather bulky, and finding the right place to store it in his room has been a challenge. It does not fit under a standard bed and my son's closet is small. It comes nicely contained with a velcro strap, but getting the strap back around it once you undo it is a chore. Bottom line: rated 4/5 stars because it is bulky and difficult to store. Still a great product, sturdy and seemingly good quality. A must have for a child with a bedroom on an upper level. Make sure you try it out and teach your child to use it as they don't really understand how it works unless you show them.

Great construction. I had to modify our window as it is a bit too deep for the 9" clearance, but it was no problem. By modify, I mean I had to use a 1" hole bit to notch out the inner window sill. It's ready to go in case of fire or other emergency. I hope we NEVER have to use it. Thanks, Onestepahead.

The design is great. It's lightweight and simple to install. My almost 5 year old can open the window, push out the screen, and install the ladder. When she reaches to release the red band, she has to lean far out the window. Only concern I had with the design. Otherwise, easy to use. However, children under 5 may not be able to do it themselves.

Love having it, but hopefully we will never have to use it. Anyone with a two story home should have one.

This is one item I hope I never need to use but I'm glad I have it just in case. All our bedrooms are on the second floor so I feel a little better knowing I have this ladder. It seems to be built very well and easy to use. It stores easily in my closet.

We live in a brick 2-story home. This product has aluminum handles designed to drape over the outside and inside sill. Ours must be modified to fit our sill due to the brick thickness. Bottom line- great product, but check the fit before the fire.

My husband and I were looking for an easy to store fire escape ladder that is quickly set-up/used for our family in case of any emergency. This is the perfect ladder! It is put together well and I can store it right under our bed. We feel much better knowing that we now have this ladder in our home.

This ladder appears a little cheap at first glance but upon inspection and use it is very sturdy and very well made. I tried it and it really doesn't swing when you put your weight on it. It was also the perfect length for our two story bedroom windows.

We recently moved to an apartment when myhusband was transferred and though we should have had this in our house we didn't get it til just now and we are very pleased with the ease in which it is supposed to be used. Since this product is one that we hope we don't have to write a review on based on actual use, it does seem that it will be easy to use in the event of a fire. (of course maybe we should have a full-on practice with it) Either way we are happy we have it and our 3 yr old knows where it is and what it is for! Thanks
