Review on Bilco LU-2 Galvanized Steel LadderUp Safety Post

You definately need two people to install this as it is heavy and most of the time you are installing this on a ladder with your feet off the ground. The pole is sturdy and durable, but like I said before it is heavy, so the springs don't automatically retract to have the pole sit upright and lock. You have to reach down into the hole to and pull the bar up if going down the hatch or if going up the hatch you have open the hatch door extend the safety pole then continue moving up. Bottom line though, the product works and adds safety.

Recommended? Yes. I recommend this product.
