When you pull the cord to raise the ladder, do you have to secure the cord to the wall to keep it taught or does it work like window blinds

Yes, it works very similar to window blinds. When you raise the ladder there is a brake that keeps it from falling. If you pull from a side angle, it releases the brake and allows the ladder to go down. The cord does not need to be secured to anything in order to keep the ladder up. The wall bracket included with the item is simply to keep the cord neatly wrapped up on the wall when not in use.

You have to secure the cord to the wall. A bracket is included for this purpose. (It does NOT work like a window blind)

As you pull the cord to raise the ladder the cord locks after each pull to prevent it from coming down again. In order to lower the ladder and unlocked the cord, you first pull the cord in a horizontal direction.

it works like blinds but the cord is 3 times the length because of the double pulley that makes it easy to raise it, so you need to tie it to a wall

There is a locking feature in the lift mechanism, but it should be considered a temporary convenience, not a safe, permanent solution. If you bump a window shade the wrong way, it rolls up abruptly and makes a lot of noise. If you bump the ladder lift cord, something easy to do if it is just hanging there, you can have a heavy ladder crashing down on your head. Find a spot to install the cord bracket as directed, or some other way to get the cord out of the way and secure.

That is the safest way to keep the ladder raised off the ground and you are provided with a wall cleat to do just that. Once the ladder is raised, the system is designed to lock into place. But should anyone or something pull to release the locked position/tension the ladder could come down and cause injury or property damage. Thus you should use all of the equipment provided with the product.

Yes there is a continuous cord that hands off of one side that is alway exposed. It does not hang down too far and hasn't been a nuisance to me since I put it against the wall.

The Ladder is already put together,just hang over window and start the process of getting out. It is heavy for a 8 year to handle. Have a blessed day!

It must be getting a signal before your hand leaves the lamp area and jumps on to the first step. If it is a wall lamp, does it have a cord cover that is touching the body of the lamp? That could cause a false trigger.

Mine has a cord to raise or lower. I found that the cord and its mechanism poorly designed. The shade works great but you need to purchase additonal parts to maintain the product.

Yes. The cord comes up the wall so you don't have to bunch up the cord when pushing in your furniture.

You have to climb the ladder and manually adjust it after loosening it from the pole. It was difficult for two grown men to do it.

No. And another thing... i love it... but there is something irritating my workers hate should be fixed/adjusted in newer versions - after you are plugged in you can't get more cord out (without unplugging, walking back to bucket, and pulling out the extra cord you need). The idea (and work around) is to carry the bucket to the farthest point where you will need it. Then you are good. OR, when you get started just unroll all the cord till you are done. Then you are good too. And it is so easy to roll it back up!

You have to unscrew the screws to pull more of the cable through. Since the jump cord is made up of metal wire with a plastic cover, the screws might stick to the plastic when unscrewed. Just agitate the screw sets and they should move. Then you need to move the screw sets down the cable until you have reached your desired length. Then tighten the screws back down again. You might have to use a screw driver to loosen or tighten them.

No but you just want to make sure the ropes are not tangled around the corners. It should go up just like an umbrella. Keep trying :)

We lift our ladder out of the pool when we cover it. It can easily be cut. Easy to pull back onto pool but we use two people to make it easier. Otherwise you just walk around pool and adjust it. To keep in place, we tie rope crisscrossed over pool but I am looking into bungee cords.

If the one you receive works properly, you will allow 8 inches away from the wall to work the blind-like mechanism to adjust each life to any desired height. In reality, of the three I ordered, only one had all three lifts working correctly. On the other two, one of the blind-like mechanisms failed to work and Greenway would not address the issue. So for those nonworking rods, I have to wind the cord around the cord holder that comes with the unit and use it like a cleat. Now, that's the real scoop on it.

There is a lever or button on top of ladder towards right side. Press/squeeze on it. It should open up.

I'm no expert, but if it's not against a wall, I think the ladder would swing inward on your way down. But in an emergency, having this is better than not.

I think it's gravity- I'm at work right now, but I can certainly check when I get home. But I'm pretty sure all you have to do is lift up. So, if you hung it out a window, I'd only be concerned about the impact of each step clunking open that might jerk it out of your hands, especially if you're in a hurry. I'd hesitate to make it your fire safety ladder because there's nothing keeping it secure at your height.

Technically, there are 2 sets of exposed strings running vertically through the accordion of the shade's paper/cloth-like material. The strings are located where the cords are usually located in Venetian blinds, but you do not pull on the string to lift or lower the shades. You just push up or pull down on the plastic piece running the length of the shade's bottom, & it stays at whatever level you push it to. So there are definitely no cords dangling from the sides, but there are exposed strings keeping it all aligned. Buy the "honeycomb" Easy lift shades if you don't want the strings to be exposed.
