The hook rolling hardware still has all the rolling hardware attributes but has the added benefit of allowing you to lift the ladder from the rail and relocate the ladder to another rail. This means you could use the ladder in multiple locations. The top rollers are paired with the braking wheeled feet. This hardware has an inbuilt mechanism to allow the ladder to be stowed vertically. Read more. |
The sliding hook hardware allows you to hook your ladder on and off from the rail. This hardware has two hooks on the top of the ladder and is paired with the non-slip rubberised feet at the bottom of the ladder. To move the ladder along the rail you need to lift the weight of the ladder up without unhooking and you can walk the ladder along. This hardware has an inbuilt slider to allow the ladder to be stowed vertically. Read more. |
This is the most basic option for hardware and is has a 'double hook' at the top of the ladder and non-slip feet at the bottom. This allows you to hook the ladder on using the top hook and then lift and use the lower hook to stow the ladder away vertically. To move the ladder along the rail you will need to completely lift the ladder off of the rail and hook the ladder back on in the location you want to use it. |
If you are looking for the ultimate in premium design them look no further than the 'swivel rolling' hardware. This hardware allows you to lift and roll your ladder around a 90degree curved corner rail. This means you can have a continuous rail around your room. Read more. |
Rail / Pole Information
The ladder rails or poles are an essential component in the ladder kit and your ladder will roll along them. They are made of high-quality 25mm solid aluminum, ensuring durability, as they are not hollow.
These rails are available in 6ft (1828mm) and 8ft (2438mm) lengths, which can be connected using a joining kit to create longer rail runs. Alternatively, you can customise the size after you receive your order by cutting them on-site. Rail brackets support the rails, and each end should be finished with a rail end cap.
To simplify the ordering process, use the Build your Ladder Order builder. It helps you select the right rail length and automatically adds the necessary rails, joining kits, rail brackets, and rail end caps for each rail run. If you are looking for brass hardware - shop here.
Cutting the rails:
If you need to cut your brass rail during your installation process, we recommend that you wrap the rail with painters’ tape where the cut is to be made, this will minimise the chipping of the paint/plating. Use a fresh-bladed hack saw with a metal cutting blade, and a good quality mitre box. Alternatively, you could use a standard mitre saw with a carbide blade, or a wood cutting blade, again ensuring you use a fresh blade. After cutting, slowly and carefully unwrap the tape.
Important Note: It's important to note that the aluminum rails have a sprayed paint finish (unless plated brass), which may show manufacturing marks caused by hooks used during the spraying process. Once installed, these marks will be hidden from view.

Understanding
Ladder Components
The clever ladder systems allow you to create orders that fit your needs and therefore are made up of several components.
Your ladder sits on a rail which is mounted to your bookcase or wall using rail brackets and the rail is finished at the ends with end caps.
Depending on which hardware you choose, the ladder will have wheels/feet mounted at the bottom and rollers/hooks mounted at the top.
The timber ladder is given extra strength with a support rod and fixings that braces the ladder underneath each step tread.
F.A.Q
How do I choose and order my ladder?
For an easy to use and effortless option, you can use our ladder order builder where you can select different sizes, hardware types and colour options to build the perfect ladder for your project. The order builder will automatically add in all of the components you will need for your order and give you an instant price. -

Alternatively, if you want to order your components indivdually then click here and follow the below guidance.
1. Choose your hardware type
There are five different options to choose from depending on what your needs are:
1. Full rolling
2. Hook rolling
3. Corner rolling
4. Hook-over
5. Basic Hook On
2. Work out what you need
The most important thing to determine is the ladder height and the height at which you want to mount a rail onto your bookcase or cabinetry. Choose from a range of standard height ladders which have a predetermined height rail or opt for a custom height ladder.
*Make sure your order includes ladder tread support rungs. These are metal rods that sit underneath each ladder tread giving your ladder strength and support.
3. Decide how long you want your rails
This is the side to side width that you want your ladder to slide along. Choose from 6ft rails or 8ft rails which can be joined together using a joining kit to create longer rails, or cut them down on-site to the perfect size
4. Add your brackets and end caps
Once you have decided how many rails you want you will need to work out how many brackets you need to hold up your rail. There should be a gap between brackets of no more than 3ft (914mm). Finish off your rail exposed ends with an end cap kit.
5. Optional Accessories
Choose from some optional extras that will take your ladder to the next level. Add a wooden hand rail on both sides of your ladder or some grip treads to give your ladder steps more grip.
Can I purchase the components seperately?

What is a rolling ladder?
The term ‘rolling ladder’ refers to the rolling motion of the top of the ladder fixing along the rail and any ladder equipped with castors. Full rolling ladders are superior to ‘hook over’ ladders that do not include the Quiet Glide technology that allows for the ladder to glide along a rail.
Our classic rolling ladders are made to the highest quality specification with two rollers on either side of the ladder, braking wheels at the base of the ladder and an effortless roll along the rail. Rails are not hollow and are made from solid extruded aluminium. The hardware allows you to stow the ladder vertically.
How wide are the ladders?
All of the library ladders are 16 inches (406mm) wide. The size is comfortable to climb, but not overbearing in the room.
How tall are the ladders?
We sell standard height ladders from 8 feet to 13 feet. Depending upon which height suits your space, there is a recommended rail mount height (see our online chart) to ensure comfort and safety. If the standard sizes are unsuitable for your space, you can order a made to measure ladder.
There is plenty of information on our website including a Guide to Ladders, Installation and Assembly instructions and an Inspiration Gallery to help you decide.
How far does the ladder protrude into the room?
When the ladder is in the angled climbing position it will protrude into the room by approximately 79cm.
Can the ladders be stowed away/docked vertically?
All of the ladders can be docked vertically when not in use. A clever slider is built into the same mechanisms at the top of the ladder to allow for this.
How does the ladder arrive?
The ladders arrive unassembled and unfinished. This allows you to apply a stain or paint to your ladder prior to your assembly.
We offer a fantastic range of Mylands Paint colours perfect for painting wood. Choose from over 160 colours and make sure to order paint for 'Wood & Metal'.
If you would rather stain or oil your ladder, Mylands have a great selection of coloured stains and protective oils. See the full range of wood finishes.
What finish should I apply to my ladder?

We have a dedicated page for Ladder Finishes that provides more information.
Are the ladders safe?
You should feel completely safe when you are using one of the Quiet Glide ladders, therefore it is of the utmost importance that the library ladders are safe and made of the highest quality. All of the ladders have been designed with built-in braking safety wheels that automatically lock the ladder in place as you climb it.
The technology allows every ladder to be stowed away vertically when not in use to avoid accidents. Each ladder is made of solid wood and has been tested through 10,000 cycle checks to ensure they can withstand a lifetime of use. On this basis, each ladder comes with a limited lifetime guarantee.
*The limited lifetime guarantee is issued by the Quiet Glide manufacturer. The warranty is based on the ladder and the hardware being installed in accordance to the fitting instructions.
