Quiet Glide hickory ladder rung gives you a turned top rung sized for rolling library ladders, so you can match the ladder system while working from a known, repeatable dimension set. The 1-1/4 inch diameter at the center creates a comfortable handhold or step profile that stays consistent from ladder to ladder, helping installers keep a uniform feel across a library run. The overall length of 15-3/8 inches defines the clear span you are working with, which matters when laying out side rail spacing on new builds or replacements. Hickory as the specified species ties the rung to a hardwood known in the trade, which helps you align this part with other hickory ladder or trim components on the same project. The turned top rung format places this piece specifically at the upper ladder position, which guides how it is used in the overall ladder layout.
The overall 15-3/8 inch length gives you a fixed distance to design around when drilling side rails or laying out replacement work, so spacing between rails can be set accurately. The 1-1/4 inch diameter at the center defines the main bore or clearance requirement if you are fitting jigs or templates over the rung during assembly. Turned down ends at 7/8 inch diameter by 1/2 inch long create a precise step between the center section and the ends, which helps the rung seat consistently into properly sized holes or mortises in the ladder rails. The unfinished hickory surface arrives ready for whatever finish schedule you use on the ladder, which streamlines blending this top rung with existing hickory components on the same installation.
This turned top rung for library ladders is defined as a top rung, so it is intended for the uppermost position on a rolling library ladder frame. The 15-3/8 inch overall length positions the side rails at a consistent distance, which is important when building or modifying ladders in a library row where alignment matters visually. The 1-1/4 inch center diameter keeps the rung profile the same as the main gripping or stepping zone across ladders that follow this specification, supporting continuity in feel from rung to rung. Hickory construction lets you integrate this piece into hickory rolling library ladder systems, keeping the material consistent where the ladder is a visible design element. Because the ends are turned down to 7/8 inch diameter by 1/2 inch long, the rung engages the side members with a defined shoulder, which helps maintain square, repeatable positioning along the ladder.
The 7/8 inch diameter turned down ends, each 1/2 inch long, act as integrated tenons, which guide hole sizing in the side rails and help keep each end centered. That defined tenon length makes it easier to control how far the rung seats into the rail, which affects how much of the 1-1/4 inch center section remains exposed for hands and feet. The 1-1/4 inch diameter at the center offers a balance between strength and grip size, so installers can plan spacing and structural layout knowing the rung follows a stable cross-section. The unfinished hickory surface gives you full control over stain or clear finish application, which matters when tying the ladder to existing hickory millwork or adjacent casework finishes. The product designation as a turned top rung for library ladders places it within the rolling library ladder hardware class, so it can be specified alongside other rolling library ladder components that follow the same dimensional pattern.
The hickory top rung has an overall length of 15-3/8 inches, a 1-1/4 inch diameter at the center, and turned down ends that are 7/8 inch diameter by 1/2 inch long for rail engagement.
The rung is described as a turned top rung for library ladders, so it is intended for the upper rung position within a rolling library ladder assembly using matching dimensional standards.
The Quiet Glide ladder rung is made from hickory, which aligns it with library ladders or millwork projects that are built around hickory as the visible hardwood species.
The hickory ladder rung is unfinished, so the surface is ready for field finishing to match stains, clear coats, or other finishing systems used on the ladder.
The turned down ends at 7/8 inch diameter by 1/2 inch long define the rail bore size and seating depth, helping you position the rung consistently within the ladder rails.
This hickory turned top rung is identified by manufacturer part number QG.610.HC, which ties directly to the specified dimensions and unfinished hickory construction.
This turned top rung for library ladders combines hickory construction, a 15-3/8 inch overall length, and a 1-1/4 inch center diameter, giving you defined geometry to build around. The Quiet Glide designation and part number QG.610.HC connect this rung directly to rolling library ladder hardware in the same series. With turned down ends at 7/8 inch diameter by 1/2 inch long and an unfinished hickory surface, the rung is set up for precise rail joinery and on-site finishing. For ladder work built around hickory and these specific dimensions, this top rung provides a consistent, spec-driven component to integrate into your next rolling library ladder build or upgrade.
