For years we’ve been living with the ugly rope pull that the builder left hanging from the attic access door in our home. After a while we stopped noticing it. One day when we needed to get into the attic, I took a good look at it and was embarrassed that we’d had the grubby thing hanging from the ceiling. I decided I had to do something about it even if it was to simply buy a new, clean rope. After looking around I found this ladder pull system and couldn’t believe all this time there was a perfect, attractive solution at such a reasonable cost. Also, the whole thing was quick and easy to install. We have a bathroom in the hall below the access door, so we hung the hook behind that door on a two-inch wide bit of wall between the corner and the door frame. It’s like the spot was made for it and you usually wouldn’t even notice it there, but it’s easy to access when we need it. I honestly doubt anyone even notices the new gold ring on the ceiling either, but I’ll bet they noticed that ugly, dirty rope. One small negative was that the wood pull was badly warped but it works well, it’s hidden behind the door, and it was very reasonably priced, so we just kept it.
