What is the diameter of the steel used?

Do I need tools to tighten the closure?

Does it come in other sizes?

Troubleshooting

Threaded barrel is stuck and will not turn

Soak the link in warm soapy water to dissolve salt or dirt buildup, then try turning the barrel while gently tapping the frame.

The link appears to be slightly bent or distorted

Immediately remove the link from service. Distortion indicates the link has been subjected to a load exceeding its capacity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High corrosion resistance due to the galvanised finish
  • Compact and lightweight for easy transport in kits
  • Simple, intuitive threaded closure system
  • Suitable for a wide variety of industrial and recreational tasks

Cons

  • Not rated for overhead lifting or heavy industrial load-bearing
  • Threaded gate can be difficult to turn if grit enters the threads
  • Limited to 3.5mm diameter capacity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your SecureFix Direct Quick Link, keep the threaded barrel clean and free of debris such as sand or salt crystals. If the threads become stiff, a light application of marine-grade lubricant can restore smooth operation. Ensure that the link is compatible with the rope or chain diameter, as overloading the link beyond its design capacity can lead to deformation of the frame. Always check that the threaded sleeve is fully engaged before applying any tension to your rigging.
