I've fitted a few myself, easy job actually. The thing to bear in mind is the orientation and headroom inside the loft, I've fitted a couple of the scissor type as a result of reduced in loft space.0

can this Argos one be used as a non fixed ladder? I will only use it once in a blue moon and don’t have skills to secure it?
thanksI suspect not. I don't think you can lock them at a height.

Even if you can I wouldn't use them in a way other than as designed. Combination ladders have a substantial hook over a lower rung.

Update - I have now fitted a loft ladder ! purchased a new loft hatch 9 the one we had you had to lift up ,twist and remove.
The new one is a Manthorpe drop down hatch ,luckly when i removed the old hatch surround the new hatch was the exact fit so replacement only took 20 mins.
Also fitted Werner loft ladders ,took about an hour with two people ,bought both products from Toolstation but similar available from Screwfix etc.0
