Introducing TuckStep

The step ladder that lives inside your cabinet.

No more dragging stools across the kitchen. TuckStep slides out from your base cabinet, unfolds into a sturdy step ladder, and tucks back in when you're done.

Modern kitchens are designed for tall people. Everyone else improvises.

Cabinets keep getting taller

Ceiling-height uppers maximize storage but put half of it out of reach for most adults and all children.

Step stools are a hazard

Left out, they trip people. Stored away, nobody bothers to grab them. Chairs become the dangerous default.

Existing solutions miss the mark

Toe-kick steps add 4 inches. Between-cabinet slivers need specific layouts. None use the space you already have.

How It Works

Three seconds. Three steps. That's it.

TuckStep occupies the narrow space inside an existing base cabinet. No remodeling. No special tools. Just pull, step, and tuck.

Step 01

Pull

Grab the integrated handle on the cabinet face. The TuckStep unit glides out on soft-close drawer slides.

Step 02

Step Up

The multi-step ladder unfolds automatically, locking into place with a satisfying click. A built-in rail gives you a grip.

Step 03

Tuck Away

Fold it down and slide it back in. It disappears completely, flush with the cabinet face. Out of sight, out of the way.

Pull the Handle

Smooth, silent drawer slides glide TuckStep out from the cabinet

Step Up Safely

Auto-locking mechanism holds 300 lbs with built-in grip rail

Common Questions

Everything you need to know.

Will TuckStep fit in my existing cabinets?

+

TuckStep is designed for standard base cabinets in 12", 15", and 18" widths. You need a minimum interior depth of 22" and 6" of vertical clearance at the bottom of the cabinet. Most standard kitchen base cabinets meet these requirements. If you're unsure, our team can help you measure.

How much weight can it hold?

+

The 15" and 18" models support up to 300 lbs. The compact 12" model supports up to 250 lbs. The steel frame and hardwood treads are tested well beyond these ratings for safety. We recommend it for adults and supervised children.

Can I install it myself, or do I need a professional?

+

If you can mount a drawer slide, you can install TuckStep. It takes about 25 minutes with basic tools (screwdriver, level, tape measure). No cutting, drilling through cabinet panels, or permanent modifications required. We include a step-by-step guide with every unit.

Is it safe for children?

+

TuckStep includes an integrated child safety lock that prevents the unit from being pulled out without an adult releasing the mechanism. When deployed, the auto-lock holds the steps firmly in place. That said, children should always be supervised when using any step ladder.

Do you offer trade pricing for professionals?

+

Yes. We offer volume pricing for kitchen designers, contractors, cabinet makers, and home builders. Fill out the contact form and select your professional role — we'll send you our trade pricing sheet and partnership details within 24 hours.

What's the warranty?

+

Every TuckStep comes with a 5-year limited warranty covering the frame, slides, and locking mechanism. The hardwood treads are warranted for 3 years against defects. We stand behind our product — if something breaks under normal use, we'll replace it.

Your kitchen was designed for storage. TuckStep makes it all reachable.

No more dragging stools. No more climbing on counters. Just pull, step, tuck. Every shelf in your kitchen, finally within reach.
