Handcrafted in America Since 1905

For over a century, Putnam Rolling Ladders have been synonymous with quality, craftsmanship, and timeless style. Founded in New York City in 1905, the Putnam Rolling Ladder Company set the industry benchmark for both wooden and metal rolling ladder design and manufacturing.

Originally used in bookstores, libraries, and warehouses, Putnam ladders quickly found their way into residential spaces—valued for their usefulness, sophistication, and enduring durability.

An Icon of Timeless Design

Putnam is best known for the instantly recognizable Classic No. 1 Rolling Library Ladder, a design that became a symbol of achievement and refinement. For generations, the Putnam name has represented prestige, function, and exceptional craftsmanship—qualities that remain at the core of every ladder produced today.

A Legacy Continued Through Craftsmanship

More than a century later, Putnam Rolling Ladders are still crafted using time-honored techniques while incorporating modern innovations. Each ladder reflects a commitment to high-quality materials, careful construction, and thoughtful design—ensuring it functions not only as a practical tool, but as a lasting design feature.

A New Chapter with Custom Service Hardware®

The storied Putnam legacy continues under the care of Custom Service Hardware®, a Wisconsin-based company founded in 1977 by a skilled craftsman with decades of experience in woodworking hardware, cabinetry, and rolling ladder systems.

This collaboration brought together two respected names in the industry, uniting shared values of craftsmanship, personalization, and attention to detail to carry Putnam’s tradition of excellence forward.

A Transformative Element for the Home

Putnam Rolling Ladders are more than functional—they become a focal point within a space. Whether installed in a library, kitchen, closet, or living area, each ladder adds architectural interest while reflecting personal style, preferences, and vision.

Designed to endure and crafted to inspire, Putnam Rolling Ladders transform everyday spaces into something truly special.
