Product Information

Full details

The Loops Premium Heavy Duty Security Door Chain is an essential home security upgrade for homeowners and renters who want an extra layer of protection while keeping their doors slightly ajar for ventilation or identity verification. This 200mm chain provides robust physical deterrence against forced entry; however, it is intended as a supplemental security measure and should not be used as a replacement for high-security deadbolts or primary locking systems.

FAQs

Can this be installed on metal doors?

While intended for wooden doors, it can be installed on metal doors if you use appropriate metal screws and have the correct tools to drill into the door structure.

Is the 200mm length adjustable?

No, the chain length is fixed at 200mm to ensure maximum structural integrity and standardized security gaps.

Does this kit include mounting screws?

Yes, the product comes with the necessary hardware for standard mounting.

Will this prevent someone from kicking the door in?

It provides significant resistance, but it is a secondary security device; it is always recommended to use this alongside a high-quality deadbolt.

How do I clean the finish?

Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges or strong solvents to protect the grey coating.

Troubleshooting

Chain is difficult to slide along the track

Apply a small amount of dry lubricant to the track to improve movement.

Screws feeling loose in the door frame

Remove the screws, fill the existing holes with wood filler or wooden dowels, and re-drill pilot holes before reinstalling.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides added peace of mind when answering the door
  • Allows for secure ventilation without fully opening the door
  • High-quality, durable heavy-duty construction
  • Simple and straightforward installation process

Cons

  • Not a replacement for a primary deadbolt or security lock
  • May be visible and protrude from the door frame
  • Limited effectiveness if the door frame is made of soft or decaying wood

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, position the main track on the door frame and the ball-end retainer on the door itself, ensuring they align perfectly when the door is closed. Use high-quality screws to secure both parts into solid wood. For maintenance, periodically check that the screws remain tight and the track is free of debris. If the chain becomes stiff, a light application of dry lubricant can ensure smooth sliding across the track. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as they may strip the grey finish; a simple wipe with a damp cloth is sufficient.
