How should I clean the chain?

Can this chain be used outdoors?

Troubleshooting

Chain appears weak or flimsy

This chain is designed for signalling and security deterrents, not for heavy load-bearing. Ensure it is used within its intended application.

Fixings are not holding securely

Ensure you are using appropriate fixings for your wall or mounting surface and that they are installed correctly. Consult a hardware professional if unsure.

Rust or discoloration appearing

While steel is durable, prolonged exposure to harsh elements can cause surface rust. Clean with a soft cloth and consider applying a protective coating if needed for extended outdoor use.
