## Description

Werner 55-1: Fits all Werner made attic ladders 2006 and Older.

Review: Perfect Fit; Stronger than the Original; One Person CAN Do the Job! - The Right hinge arm on my Werner Attic Master pull-down ladder, Model WH2508, Broke when I pulled down the ladder. The rivet popped at the pivot point, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Even though my broken hinge arm did not look exactly like the one in the photo, the ad said it would fit, so I bought it. I'm glad I did. This model is MUCH thicker & sturdier than the original. Also, it was a breeze to install as long as you DON'T ATTACH THE BOLT TO THE STAIRS ON THE LADDER UNTIL AFTER YOU FIRST ATTACH THE SPRING TO THE HINGE. If you do it in this order, you use the natural leverage of the hinge and the spring to pull it down to the hole on the stairs. Then, you just line up the hinge to the hole, pop the bolt through the outside of the ladder, and tighten the washer and nut from the opposite side. You can do it all by yourself, without having to climb into the attic at all. Here is the exact order I used: 1. PUT ON SAFETY GLASSES AND A GOOD SET OF GLOVES TO PROTECT YOUR HANDS. 2. Remove the old hinge per the instructions. If your hinge is still attached at the pivot point, you will have to either drill it out, per the directions, or remove it using a hacksaw. 3. Drill a pilot hole through the center of the pivot point using a 13/64 drill bit, as directed. 4. Attach the new hinge to the pivot point by placing one of the provided washers on the longest lag bolt/screw provided. Then, insert the new bolt/screw through the hole closest to the curve on the new hinge and then all the way into the center hole of the pivot point. The new hinge should still move freely thanks to the washer. (I used a 1/2 inch socket to tighten it which worked perfectly.) 5. Extend the side of the new hinge that attaches to the spring all the way out towards the spring. Then, lift the opposite side of the hinge up which will bring the spring side of the hinge as close to the spring as possible. 6. Attach the spring to the tip of the new hinge. 7. Rotate the opposite side of the new hinge downward towards the hole where it attaches to the pull-down ladder. BE CAREFUL SINCE THE HINGE WILL NOW BE UNDER PRESSURE FROM THE SPRING! 8. Attach the new hinge to the ladder by lining up the hinge to the hole, popping the new bolt provided through the outside of the ladder, and then tighten the washer and nut from the opposite side using that same size socket wrench. That's it. You're done.
Review: Well worth it, - Solid replacement kit for a broken hinge arm. Good quality Easy to install with straight forward instructions Took about 10 min to orient everything and about another 15 min to actually do the replacement (sawzall made quick work detaching broken arm hinge from the pivot plate)

Directions were a little dry and slightly confusing for me, but watching a YouTube video cleared everything up. Very easy to do once I had a visual aid
