Attic Ladder needs new hinge or reinforcement of some kind
Hi, my wooden attic ladder has developed a crack in side rail causing it to be unstable. I tried flexible metal strapping to hold rail together but it is unsatisfactory(far sections in picture).

Any ideas on different hinge or reinforcement to add where the 2 sections meet?

Thanks for your help!

Attic Ladder
How will a new hinge correct the split in the side rail?

Replace the ladder.
