Q: I have an 11 inch window sill. Do all your escape ladders fit?
The Franklin MFG Saf-escape ladders are sold in three versions: for walls not thicker than 9.5 inches, for walls not thicker than 16 inches and for walls not thicker than 20 inches.
If you need escape ladders for even thicker walls, please inform us per e-mail at notification@safelincs.com.
Q: My window sill has got no lip or overhang. Does this matter?
A: No. None of the ladders requires an overhang of the sill, neither on the inside nor the outside, as the ladders locate against the wall and the top of the sill, only.
Q: I have a radiator underneath the window sill. Can I still use your ladders?
The Franklin escape ladders only require about one inch of space underneath the window sill.
