Tools and Hardware Reviews of Kidde KL-2S Two-Story Fire Escape Ladder with Anti-Slip Rungs, 13-Foot
Customer Review: A Proven Safety Tool
Summary: 5 Stars
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.

I have no connection to this case. I'm just a consumer who almost got burned, literally.Customer Review: A very important item that I hope to never have to use
Summary: 5 Stars
Be advised: You can't open this item all the way up, it is meant for one time use in an emergency. I'm okay with it being a one time use, just knowing it's there makes me feel safer. It seems like it will be easy to open and use. The product appears well made and sturdy. (Again, I didn't release the ladder).Customer Review: Appears to be a quality product
Summary: 4 Stars
Thank goodness we have not had to use this ladder in an emergency, however, we did try the product by hanging the ladder out the second story window and had our 17 year old son (volunteer firefighter with the jr. explorers) climb down the ladder rather quickly without a problem. It did sway a little, and I know there is a product by Kidde that has a non-sway ladder also, which was more costly. Hope no one ever has to use it, but it is a must on a second floor.Customer Review: Be sure to open the box before an emergency!
Summary: 4 Stars
We already own one of these Kidde ladders, and I just bought a second one for another bedroom. I almost put the whole box in the closet without opening it, since I know how the other ladder works. But luckily I opened the box anyway, just to check it out. The interior packaging has changed - there is so much plastic wrapping and cardboard packaging taped around the ladder that there's no way you could deploy it in an emergency. So be sure to open the box and remove all the packaging before putting the ladder away.
