Thsi ladder requires an installation plate. I doubt the small screws used to secure the plate will hold me. I could not put the tangled up mess back in it's box. I never would recommend this product.

This review is from: X-IT Products AL-30 3-Story Emergency Escape Ladder (Tools & Home Improvement)

We have an old 2 story house and therefore need a 3 story ladder. I researched all of the newer ladders after I tried to show the kids how to use the old metal rung and chain ladder that I had which was heavy and tangled and would have been very difficult to deploy in an emergency. I chose the X-IT because of the many reviews that rate it #1 of all the ladders out there. It does NOT require installation. Hook it over the sill and release the velcro strap. No tangles. It's that easy and the ladder in its small yellow carry case is very light. I'm very pleased with this product and would recommend it to anyone with a second story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid functional design. Great customer service., January 16, 2012

After researching a number of fire escape ladders in brick and mortar stores and online, I selected an X-It ladder. I chose it because it seemed light enough and simple enough for my young boys to deploy from their second floor room.

After testing the release of the ladder, it was a simple matter to refold the rungs.

The videos on the X-It website made it easy to understand how to deploy and refold the ladder.

Some of the ladders I researched stated that they were for single-use only; I ruled those out, because it meant that I couldn't test it's operation.

Finally, my ladder did not come with a storage bag. I emailed the company through their website and go a response later that NIGHT. They promptly sent me a storage bag.
