From Attic Ladder Installation, Step 5: Test Ladder Operation
Test the ladder's functionality by opening and closing it. Ensure that it opens and closes smoothly without excessive force or sticking. Confirm that the spreaders (the bars that connect the front and back sections) lock securely in place when the ladder is fully open. Finally, with the ladder fully open, place it on a level surface and verify that all four feet sit firmly and evenly on the ground, indicating proper stability.
