Schlage 12mm Cinch Ring Security Chain (No Lock)

Just the right size! I use this to secure my trailer to the welded hitch of my truck. I got a large stainless steal lock that I lock to the chain hole on my trucks hitch. I lasso the tongue on the welded parts where they come to a tip of a triangle with the chain and slip the chain into the large ring and pull towards my truck. I figure with this and various other locks on the trailer itll dieter a thief to look for an easier target.

Cinch ring feature is nice for many applications. Buyer needs to allow extra length allowing for chain used securing both the cinch end and the lock end.

19 links, 20 if you count the ring. the sleeve can be made to cover 13 of them. whole thin dimensions of each link: external: 44x75mm internal: 20x52mm dimensions of ring: external: 75mm internal: 51mm the hexagonal stock used to make the links is about 12.5mm across the flats, 19mm across the points. the innermost and outermost circumferences are flats, not points. A real beefy chain, 3kg on the dot. pretty sure no bolt cutters are getting through these, and probably a couple minutes with an angle grinder. its pretty much guaranteed to not be the weakest link of your security system, so make sure you get some good locks to go along with it, and use them properly to secure as much of your bike as you can. A nice feature of the cinch design is that its easy to use multiple locks, as each one only has to go through one link somewhere on the chain. Ideally, use locks that are each vulnerable to different kinds of attacks. Really good value for money, compared to the big brand names.

This product is an effective product. The product does not give you any slack. Its so thick that by the time you wrap one end around your motorcycle wheel, you have used a foot, and by the time you wrap the other end around a stationary object, you will need to be up against the stationary object. Using it the way I describe, you will need two sturdy locks which will cost another fifty bucks at least. In other words, the products relatively short length of five feet restricts the versatility of the product. Kryptonite makes a floor locking mechanism which would work well with this product. It cost seventy bucks and it requires some skill to install it in concrete securely. There is a good YouTube on how to install it, which I think is posted by the manufacturer on the amazon site.

What really convinced me to get this chain was the YouTube of a guy unsuccessfully try to cut it with giant bolt cutters. Whether it was a set or not I dont know. I live way out in the boondocks and travel often and was trying to find the thickest affordable chain possible. I may get the longer version next to help secure a trailer. Nothing is entirely thief proof but it looks like this chain will certainly slow one down.

The noose on the end is unique. This makes the chain effectively a foot longer. However I am disappointed that the links are not the proper profile to fit the end link through the middle of two other links. I would have liked to use a puck lock since I carry this on my electric bike.

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

Its holding strong and secure.

I use this to lock up my new Ebike I named her Alice as in Alice In Chains. She is locked up with two of these heavy duty security chains and 4 locks. Security is also backed up by the security camera system, alarm system, and a Glock 9 for safe keeping. Cheers

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.
