From the Manufacturer
Someone in the U.S. dies in a home fire every three hours, according to the National Fire Protection Association, which recommends one ladder in every occupied room on floors above the main level. The Kidde Escape Ladder provides a quick means of escape from a fire in a two story home. It stores easily under the bed or near a window, and is quick and easy to use.

From the Manufacturer
The Kidde Escape Ladder features 13 feet of zinc-plated steel rungs attached with red nylon strap rails for a quick, secure escape route in case of fire. One of the best features of the Kidde is that its soft rails let you store it anywhere. Slip it under the bed or keep it handy right on the windowsill for easy access. This lifesaver supports a maximum weight of 1,000 pounds when the load is distributed on more than one rung. Max weight per rung is 750 pounds. And, this Kidde is flame resistant, opens in seconds and attaches quickly to any window. The tangle-free design and anti-slip rungs give added security for the descent. Ppre-assembled and ready to use, this ladder is 13 feet long with 1-foot wide rungs.

A Proven Safety Tool
As a former firefighter, I can attest that there is no such thing as too much protection. The Kidde KL-2S 13 foot escape ladder or a good quality counterpart is a must have safety tool for any two story home. This product and others like it save lives.

Unlike previous heavy chain constructed models, this system is light, tangle free and easy to store. Weighing in at almost 17lbs this unit will hold up to 1000lbs. I highly recommend storing this ONE TIME USE LADDER in the vicinity of the designated escape window. As a ONE TIME USE LADDER do not pull the release strap unless it is an emergency. In the event of an emergency these simple steps will save lives.

1. Close the doors to the room before opening the escape
window to avoid intensifying a fire.

2. Open attachment hooks and extend center support.

3. Place hooks over window sill with ladder hanging on the
outside of the structure. Attach the white end of the hooks to
the inside wall. The red side of the hooks must be outside
the window.

4. Pull release strap to deploy ladder.(To be done only in
an actual emergency).

5. Carefully exit window onto ladder, holding attachment hooks
to provide stability.

6. When descending the ladder, keep your body close to the
ladder to maximize stability.

7. Carry children on the ladder only when it is absolutely necessary.

8. Avoid carrying pets or other objects on the ladder.

9. In family escape, the parent should exit first to stabilize the
ladder during the descent of children or elderly adults.

Good Product
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.
