Small folding loft/attic ladder [closed]

Question

I'm wanting to install a loft ladder. I would prefer one of those nice folding wooden ladders, however upon researching the various types, it seems that these are quite a bit longer than my current loft hatch.

My current opening is approx 760x575mm, whereas the folding wooden ladder requirements are hatches that are over 1 metre in length!

I understand this is due to the whole first length of ladder being stowed on the hatch door itself, rather than the ladder going into the loft itself.

My question is... Are there any alternative wooden folding loft ladders available that would fit onto a standard size hatch door?

Answer 1

Converting this to inches, your hole is about 22x30. That's smaller than most 22x54 models to be sure, but they do make "narrow door" models. The catch there is that the ladder is an extension ladder that sits almost vertically (while the longer doors have a horizontal rest), so you'll need ample vertical clearance to install one.

Werner, for instance, makes this compact opening ladder, which is 18x24 inches (457mm by 609mm)
