Schlage 12mm Cinch Ring Security Chain (No Lock)

High Security or Heavy Duty does not adequately describe this chain. I bought the 5 version so that I could run it through a couple of the holes in the body of my car at the back of the inside of my trunk (at the corner where the cross-member is that supports to the top of the back seat). The cinch design was essential for this. Now the chain reaches a few feet out in my trunk, and I can lock all sorts of things to it (like my high-security brief case or any lock box, etc.). It wont stop every thief, but it will definitely slow them down. In fact, if a thief does somehow steal anything, Im fairly certain they wont do it by cutting this chain. Im attaching photos showing how Im using the chain in my trunk.

This is a heavy duty chain. Im using it to secure a gas generator to a shed and more than enough length to secure. Because the chain is mounted in the back of the shed and under the generator, using a bolt cutter or grinder would not be impossible, but highly unlikely. I would recommend this product for this application. This is heavy so I wouldnt want to carry this around or use on a bike, but a motorcycle with storage bin would work.

I use it to lock my ebikes and combined with a u lock its the best.

Dont cheap out, this chain is worth the investment. I use this is my bike chain with a good boron shackle lock; heavy as hell, but I just wear it like a sash. I wish it had a velcro strap at both ends of the sleeve instead of just the cinch end, but I understand the design decision.

So these are HEAVY chains. Surprisingly heavy. I really do think they are probably overkill in this 12mm size for most purposes, but for what they are, they are nice. The cinch ring is really a great idea, giving you more length with less chain. I got them to secure some very expensive mountain bikes if they need to be left reasonably unattended. They could steal the vehicle easier than they could get through these chains. They are also annoying, in that they are unwieldy and a pain to actually use due to their size and weight. Unless you are SURE you need this level of security, I really think I would consider going down to like 8mm, but you cant go wrong with these Schlage chains (which I have heard are the mfg for Kryptonite chains as well).

The Schlage was MUCH HEAVIER than my Kryptonite 12 mm chain! Schlage measures from edge-to-edge, while Kryptonite is 12 mm from vertex-to-vertex!

Should of gotten 2

I use this to secure motorcycles and it gives confidence. This thing is beefy and the pass through ring makes it much better. Good buy

We all know that with enough time and the correct tools nothing is impenetrable. But this chain is as close as youre going to get to stopping a perp because unless he has a lot of time and some sort of electric grinding tool and or a 5 foot bolt cutter hes not getting through this chain any time soon. If one were going to steal something this chain is locked to, the attack point might shift to the lock or what the chain is wrapped around because this thing is an animal and it might be easier to attack a weaker part. Though its made in China it seems to be made well. There is a cover to the chain that has velcro wrapped through the link so it cant shift when youre trying to loop it through something. This was a big help because I was feeding the chain through the seat frame of my truck and it was a very tight fit. The weight alone tells you that this chain means serious business (approx 6 lbs). If I had a complaint it would be that the black cover that covers the chain leaves too many links exposed. I understand its like that for the ring to cinch the chain and then you lock your padlock through it but in my case it makes too much noise when I shift my gun safe around. I used heat shrink tubing to keep the links quiet and now its much quieter when I move the safe around. Right now Im using them in conjunction with my gun safes (Fort Knox) in my trucks (wrapped around the seat frame) and in my house as well. I feel very confident that the safes are staying put . The cinching action of the ring allows the chain to to extend further than if you had to lock both links with a padlock.

I havent tried to cut it, but it sure does appear to be bolt cutter proof. You can tell its make of a more hardened material than normal chains.
