Mahogany library ladder rung describes this Quiet Glide turned top rung sized for rolling library ladders and made from mahogany in an unfinished state, so it functions as the upper step contact and can be finished to match surrounding millwork on site. The overall length of 15-3/8 inches provides a defined tread width that helps installers lay out side rail spacing consistently across a ladder run. A 1-1/4 inch diameter at the center gives a round gripping surface that feels substantial underfoot while still fitting typical ladder side-rail profiles in this product class. Turned down ends at 7/8 inch diameter create a reduced tenon-style profile that seats into corresponding holes in the ladder stiles for a positive mechanical connection. The 1/2 inch long turned ends give predictable embedment depth, which supports more uniform glue contact and repeatable assembly from rung to rung. The Quiet Glide QG.610.MG part number clearly identifies this specific mahogany top rung within the rolling library ladder hardware family.
The 7/8 inch diameter turned down ends are designed to interface with matching round bores in the ladder side rails, so the rung registers directly off the machined holes during installation. With a 1/2 inch long reduced section, the installer can seat each end to a consistent depth, helping keep rung faces aligned in a straight plane along the ladder. The 1-1/4 inch center diameter transitions cleanly to the smaller ends, which helps the wood shoulder bear against the rail face and share load rather than relying only on the tenon length. The 15-3/8 inch overall length sets the rail-to-rail distance the rung will occupy, guiding layout when drilling rails so that the finished ladder tracks properly with other Quiet Glide rolling library ladder components.
This 16 inch top rung, described with an overall length of 15-3/8 inches, is part of the Quiet Glide rolling library ladders product class, so it is intended for use in rolling-style library ladder builds. The turned top rung position means it functions at the upper portion of the ladder, tying together the side rails where the ladder transitions toward the head assembly. Its 1-1/4 inch center diameter aligns with typical rolling library ladder proportions, allowing it to visually and structurally coordinate with other rungs sized around the same diameter range. The mahogany construction matches projects where mahogany is used for rails, steps, or surrounding casework, helping maintain a consistent wood species throughout the ladder and adjoining cabinetry in a library or similar built-in application.
The combination of a 1-1/4 inch center diameter and 7/8 inch turned ends on this rung simplifies layout because the installer can bore a single, consistent hole size sized for the reduced ends while the larger center section automatically shoulders against the rails. That shoulder effect lets the wood bear against the stile face, helping distribute load across the joint instead of concentrating it solely within the tenon. The 1/2 inch long turned ends give a clear reference for how far each end sits within the stile, supporting uniform ladder geometry from one rung to the next along the rails. Using an unfinished mahogany rung allows finishing work to be scheduled after dry-fitting or assembly, which can streamline workflow by separating joinery tasks from stain or clear-coat steps during a rolling library ladder installation.
This Quiet Glide mahogany library ladder rung has an overall length of 15-3/8 inches, which defines the spacing between ladder rails and helps establish the finished ladder width.
The rung center diameter is 1-1/4 inches, providing a round step and handhold area sized for typical rolling library ladder use and feel.
The turned down ends are 7/8 inch in diameter and 1/2 inch long, creating a tenon-style section that fits bored holes in the ladder rails for alignment.
This Quiet Glide rung is described as mahogany and unfinished, allowing staining or topcoating to match surrounding cabinetry and trim.
The product is described as a 16 inch top turned rung, so it is intended for use at the upper portion of a rolling library ladder assembly.
The part number QG.610.MG identifies this specific 15-3/8 inch, 1-1/4 inch diameter, mahogany, unfinished top turned rung within the Quiet Glide ladder hardware line.
This Quiet Glide mahogany library ladder rung combines a 15-3/8 inch overall length, 1-1/4 inch center diameter, and 7/8 inch by 1/2 inch turned ends to support consistent rolling library ladder construction. For projects calling for unfinished mahogany in the ladder structure, this QG.610.MG top turned rung lets installers coordinate species, geometry, and finishing steps across the ladder and adjoining millwork. Choosing this rung for the top position helps align dimensions and material with other Quiet Glide rolling library ladder hardware throughout the installation.
