Product Information

Full details

This ABUS Mechanical Security Chain is designed for individuals seeking robust protection for their assets like bicycles, motorbikes, and garden equipment. Its primary benefit is the hardened special chain steel construction, offering a strong deterrent against theft. A potential caveat is the need for a separate locking mechanism, as the chain itself does not include a lock.

FAQs

Does the chain come with a padlock?

No, the ABUS Mechanical Security Chain is sold as a chain only and requires a separate padlock for securing your items.

What is the difference between the 6mm and 10mm chains?

The 10mm chain offers greater thickness and strength, providing a higher level of security compared to the 6mm chain. The choice depends on the value of the item being secured and the perceived risk.

Can I use this chain outdoors?

Yes, the chain is designed for outdoor use and is made from hardened steel to resist corrosion. However, regular care and maintenance, especially for the padlock, are recommended.

How do I choose the right length?

Consider what you need to secure. You'll need enough length to loop through your item(s) and a secure anchoring point. Measure the circumference required before selecting a length.

Will the fabric sleeve protect against cutting?

The fabric sleeve is primarily for protecting the surface of your secured item from scratches. It does not add to the cutting resistance of the hardened steel chain links.

What maintenance is required for the chain?

Periodically check for damage. Keep the chain and padlock clean and dry. Lubricating the padlock mechanism annually or as needed will ensure smooth operation.

Troubleshooting

Chain is difficult to lock or unlock

Ensure the chain links are not bent or damaged. Check the padlock mechanism for debris or corrosion and lubricate if necessary. Ensure the padlock shackle is properly aligned with the chain loop.

Fabric sleeve is torn or worn

While the sleeve is designed for protection, significant tears may reduce its effectiveness in preventing scratches. Consider wrapping the affected area with durable tape or replacing the chain if the damage is extensive.

Chain appears rusted

Surface rust can typically be removed with a wire brush. Apply a rust inhibitor or a light coat of oil to protect the metal. For severe rust, replacement may be necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-security hardened steel construction.
  • Protective sleeve prevents scratches and damage to surfaces.
  • Versatile use for various assets and situations.
  • Durable and built to last in different environments.
  • Available in multiple sizes for flexible application.

Cons

  • Requires a separate padlock or locking mechanism.
  • Can be heavy and bulky, depending on length and diameter.
  • Fabric sleeve may eventually wear or tear with prolonged heavy use.
  • May not be suitable for extremely high-risk security scenarios without additional measures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Select the appropriate length and diameter of the chain for your security needs.
  2. Loop the chain through the item you wish to secure and a solid, immovable object (e.g., a bike rack, sturdy post, ground anchor).
  3. Use a compatible padlock (sold separately) to secure the chain ends together.

Compatibility:

  • This chain is compatible with most standard padlocks that can accommodate the chain link size. ABUS recommends using their own high-quality padlocks for optimal security.
  • Suitable for bicycles, motorbikes, scooters, garden equipment, outdoor furniture, and construction site machinery.

Care:

  • Periodically inspect the chain and fabric sleeve for any signs of damage or excessive wear. Replace if significant damage is found.
  • Keep the chain and any associated padlock clean and dry when not in use to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation.
  • If used in harsh weather conditions, consider applying a light lubricant to the padlock mechanism to maintain functionality.
