Quiet Glide library ladder rung in ash gives you a turned top step sized for rolling library ladder builds and repairs. The rung has an overall length of 15-3/8 inches, so it spans typical ladder side rails for compact library ladders and similar projects. A 1-1/4 inch diameter at the center creates a comfortable round gripping and stepping surface along the main portion of the rung. The ends are turned down to 7/8 inch diameter, forming tenons that seat into matching holes in the ladder side rails. Each turned-down end is 1/2 inch long, so the tenon length is clearly defined for drilling depth and glue-up planning. The rung is made from ash, providing a solid wood component for library ladder construction and ladder hardware work.
The 15-3/8 inch overall length establishes how far apart the rails sit when this top rung is used, so the rung effectively locks in the ladder width. With a 1-1/4 inch center diameter, the rung presents a defined round step size that can match other rungs specified with the same diameter. The 7/8 inch diameter at each turned-down end identifies the drill bit size needed for rail sockets that accept the tenons. Because each turned-down end is 1/2 inch long, the tenon depth is set, which aids in planning rail thickness and joint layout for a rolling library ladder.
This 16 inch top rung, with its 15-3/8 inch overall length, is designed for use in rolling library ladders and falls under the rolling library ladders product class. Within that ladder hardware category, the rung serves at the top position, giving a defined step at the highest point of the ladder assembly. The ash construction matches wood-focused ladder builds where wood rungs are paired with rolling hardware systems. The 7/8 inch diameter turned-down ends fit into appropriately sized rail openings, integrating the rung into side rails sized to accept those tenons.
The 1-1/4 inch diameter at the center supports repeatable step sizing across a ladder when other rungs share the same center dimension, giving users a consistent feel moving up or down the ladder. The 15-3/8 inch overall length keeps the distance between side rails uniform, which helps the ladder track properly when used with rolling hardware. Turned-down ends at 7/8 inch diameter standardize the connection between rung and rail, so rail drilling patterns can stay consistent from rung to rung. The 1/2 inch length of each tenon gives a predictable joint depth, which supports accurate glue joints and a uniform profile along the ladder sides.
The rung is classified under rolling library ladders and ladder hardware, so it is intended for use in rolling library ladder constructions.
The rung has an overall length of 15-3/8 inches, which sets the spacing between ladder side rails when this rung is installed.
The center of the rung has a 1-1/4 inch diameter, providing the main round surface users step on or grip during ladder use.
Each turned-down end is 7/8 inch in diameter, forming tenons that fit into rail holes sized for that diameter.
Each turned-down end is 1/2 inch long, so the tenon depth into the ladder rail is 1/2 inch at both ends of the rung.
The rung is made from ash, giving a wood component that matches ash-based rolling library ladder projects.
This Quiet Glide library ladder rung pairs ash construction with a 15-3/8 inch overall length for wood rolling ladder projects. The 1-1/4 inch center diameter coordinates step sizing, while 7/8 inch by 1/2 inch turned-down ends define the tenon geometry. With these fixed dimensions, the rung supports precise layout of rail spacing and hole sizing in rolling library ladder work. Use the QG.610.AS part number when specifying or reordering this top rung for matching library ladder assemblies.
