Schlage 12mm Cinch Ring Security Chain (No Lock)

I bought two of the 39 chains for locking up a generator and plate compactor. I figured I needed 4-5 chains, but the cinch ring design of the Schlage frees up a lot of wasted, looped length. I combined the chains with Stanley CD8820 padlocks (50mm version). For the generator, the shackle was just *barely* tall enough to close with two links of the Schlage chain through it (the cinch end wrapped around a deck post, the other end wrapped around the generator frame). On the plate compactor, I didnt have enough chain length to loop through it, so I had hoped to lock the last link directly to its lift bar. Unfortunately, that bar is ever so slightly thicker than the chain links and I couldnt close the shackle, so I had to go with a longer, less secure Master Lock I had laying around. So, keep that in mind when sizing locks to the thickness of the chain. These chains are likely to deter most thieves, just based on appearance, let alone the heat treating. I doubt they would try bolt cutters on them. Ill be doing some metal reinforcements of the deck posts to keep them from being the weak link to cut through. Someone would have to want the stuff real bad to bother with an angle grinder. Highly recommended product! I might get one of the 59 chains for the trailer next, although thatll be a tough reach.

This is a heavy chain. Seems long enough for many applications. Another few inches would have been my preference but I believe it is sized on the metric system. I will use this only on certain rides and destinations and possibly combine it with other precautions. There is always a way for someone to get through any lock with the right tools and enough time. It will suit my needs just fine I am sure.

Wow! Ive got to lock my bike unattended in a basement common garage. Now that Ive got this chain (and a very heavy duty disc lock), I have no worries leaving my bike alone in the garage. The cinch loop is surprisingly helpful, as it allows me to stretch out the chain a bit from the wall, looping the cinched end through my frame and wheel and locking the other end to a concrete wall anchor with the lock. Note: this is a very heavy chain, so itll be a workout if you want to carry it around instead of just leaving it locked in place.

Solid, heavy chain that works well. I use with 14mm Kryptonite New York lock which fits easily through the links. Chain is long enough to go through rear bike wheel, bike frame and bike rack.

After having my storage unit broken in to 2 times I purchased this chain Kept thieves away. I saw attempted hack saw marks and bolt cutter marks that barely scratched the metal. I use it in combination with a very durable shrouded lock.

I bought two and cinched them together and then put a Schlage long shackle lock inbetween. Best security for the amount of money spent. Schlage seems to be holding on to quality when others are dropping the ball.

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

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.

Ive had cables cut and bikes and other equipment stolen with simple bolt cutters. Not with one of these! This is a serious chain that would probably take an acetylene torch to cut so dont loose your key. I especially like the way that this has a loop (or noose) on one end which allows you to use the full length of the chain. One down side is that its very heavy so take that into consideration. Get a long one and a short one. A single long Schlage can easily lock several bicycles or motorcycles, while a shorter Schlage is easier and lighter to transport.

VERY sturdy. People just laugh when they see it because its so ridiculously heavy and sturdy. The covering tends to hike up the chain but with a little effort it comes back down.
