I've a long roofing ladder, 6+m, and would like it to hinge in the middle for ease of storage and transport. I know it can be done as you can buy ready made folding roof ladders.
What I'm failing on is finding the hinges as a component. I can find plenty on dubious looking Chinese tat selling websites but I'd prefer to be able to see the quality before I buy them, or at least be able to return them easily.
ISTM they need to lock so I need the correct hinges, not just some thing that will do. An alternative would be to sleeve and bolt the two sections. I don't mind a bit of faffing assembling it as it only gets used every few years or so.
Any suggestions?
