Galvanised links are manufactured to DIN 763 toughened steel standards, electro galvanised with a zinc coating. Chain is intended for indoor and outdoor security uses where corrosion resistance matters.
Corrosion resistance - with electro galvanised zinc coating
Electro galvanising applies a zinc layer over the steel links, creating a barrier that slows oxidation and reduces surface rust. The zinc topcoat also improves scratch resistance compared to untreated steel.
Galvanised finish keeps links serviceable in wet weather, reducing maintenance and prolonging usable life.
Reliable load performance - thanks to DIN 763 toughened steel
Manufacture to DIN 763 toughened steel means the metal has been treated for higher tensile strength and toughness. Welded link construction preserves structural integrity under tension.
Welded, toughened links handle heavy-duty tasks such as securing gates, towing light loads, and anchoring outdoor fittings.
Practical versatility - with larger link openings for bigger locks
Bigger link dimensions accommodate larger shackles and bolts, avoiding the need to force smaller padlocks through narrow links. Length options allow cutting to size or using multiple metres as required.
Chain suits a wide range of uses from bike locks to hanging swings, making it simple to match chain length and lock size to the task.
