Nice product. Easy to install and perfect fit.

First off, would have liked to rate as 5 since the hinges are made of heavy metal and match the ones I replaced. Unfortunately, there was a fumble in SAFETY in regards to the 10mm bolts provided to mount plates into frame opening. If you go to the link that is provided in package you will hear the installer say 13mm bolts. One of these bolts snapped on me and fortunately I was not in the way of the spring and hardware. I replaced the bolts with the correct size and you can see the difference in pics. After doing this it has held up fine, but the hinges will not fold easily and you have to slightly pull the riveted hinge points towards you while you're on the ladder in order to push the door back in place from the floor. I am hoping over time they might loosen up. (WD40 applied at all folding points seems to help.) I wish I had been quicker in making this review considering injury could have been possible. Company just needs to ante up to bigger bolts and not try to save a few pennies on hardware.

Installed per the video and seem to fit pretty good. There is a slight difference but pretty close. Hinges seem to be stronger than the old ones that bent. It came with 3" lag screws and thought it said 2" on packing list. There is a lot of tension on those lag screws, so I do hope they are of good quality. I do not see any reviews of them snapping off like I did on some of the other replacement parts available. I did this by myself but would suggest two people if possible. Make sure and check the label on thge stairs themselves.

Before it was shipped I received and email to confirm that I ordered the right one, which is very unusual. After I was assured it would work the product arrived in a timely fashion. Installation was tricky with no instructions, except a video link. But the video did help. A drill with the right bit is needed as the old stair arm had to be drilled out. One problem arose as one of the holes in the arm wasn't big enough. It was supposed to be 5/16, and it was1/4, so we had to drill that bigger. You definitely need to people at the end to reattach the springs. We will see how it hold up over time.

My review is mixed. The pro is that these ladder hinges fit with my attic ladder and they have fixed our problem. The hinges feel thicker than the original. The con is the pictures I posted of the supposed directions that came with this product. The YouTube video link does not work and I can only assume the person who “wrote this” used google translate. I love being insulted by the people I just spent money with. We almost returned it through Amazon but when I googled directions for this product, I was able to find a real company that had posted very clear, step by step, directions for my husband to follow.
