(For Aftermarket Applications)

Installation

Place Assembly Inside Doorframe

1. 

With the step extended and in the down position, place 

the SolidStep assembly inside the doorframe 

(Fig.2)

.

NOTE: 

Before installing any fasteners, make sure that 

the step is properly leveled so the threshold of the step 

rests firmly on top and in front of the aluminum doorframe 

threshold, without any gap between them. The rear of the 

step wall 

(Fig.2C)

 should be approximately parallel with the 

trailer’s sidewall in this position. Refer to Leg Extension 

Adjustment section.

2. 

Verify with a tape measure that the assembly is centered 

in the doorframe. Measure from frame to frame 

(Fig.2A)

.

3. 

With the step assembly still in the extended position, 

install two fasteners.

NOTE: 

Most trailers use flooring construction that is 

sufficiently strong to support a SolidStep with a simple 

wood screw installation. Generally, if the flooring contains 

a wood subfloor thickness of at least 

1/2

”, method 

A

 may 

be used. If unsure of your subfloor thickness, or are 

otherwise aware that the floor has a foam-laminated core 

construction and only a thin wood subfloor (sometimes 

used for weight savings), then method 

B

 should be used. 

This optional installation method connects the SolidStep 

hinge plate to a strong steel backing plate which gets 

placed underneath the floor, to ensure maximum floor 

support.

A. 

For wood flooring, drill pilot hole using the 

5/32

” drill bit 

and install two #10-1 

1/2

” wood screws into the mounting 

plate via the two access holes located in the top of the 

mounting plate 

(Fig.2B)

.

B. 

For laminate flooring, drill two holes straight down 

with the 

13/64

” drill bit via the access holes located in the 

top of the mounting plate. Insert two #10-4” bolts into the 

mounting plate through the floor through the backer plate 

(Fig.2B)

 and secure with the plain washers, lock washers 

and then the nuts provided. Refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 

for backer plate info.

4. 

Once the two fasteners are secure, carefully lift the step 

assembly into the upright, stored position. If the latching 

mechanism doesn’t engage, it will need to be adjusted to 

operate properly. Have one person hold the step assembly 

from inside the trailer. Go to Adjust Transport Lock section.

Prior to Installation

1. 

Make sure that the trailer is on level ground.

2. 

If the trailer floor has a step threshold transition piece, it 

should be removed now.

NOTE: 

The door and frame have been omitted from figures 

for clarity.

3. 

Make sure the floor of the trailer has sufficient backing 

material for securing the SolidStep. If uncertain, check 

with the trailer’s manufacturer for backing material and its 

location or use the backer plate and fasteners provided.
