The treads are divided generally along a plane defined by the disposition of the upright ladder rails. The two parts of the stair treads are positioned on either side of the rails and are clamped together in interlocking fashion by means of engageable arms on each step portion which extend toward each other to latch together. Positioned on the upright ladder rails, the ladder steps are securely attached thereto by means of self tapping screws which pass through the opposing step sections and through the ladder rails to sandwich the ladder rails between the step sections.
