Product Information
Full details
The Rolson Tools Security Chain Door Lock is an essential security accessory for homeowners and apartment dwellers who want to verify the identity of visitors without fully exposing their home interior. It provides an effective physical barrier that allows for controlled door opening, though users should note that it is designed primarily as a deterrent for authorized entry and is not a substitute for high-security deadbolts or reinforced strike plates.

FAQs
Can this be installed on a metal door?
Yes, but you will need appropriate metal-drilling bits and potentially different screws if the supplied ones are strictly for wood.
How long is the chain included with this lock?
The chain is 180mm long, providing sufficient room for a clear view without compromising safety.
Are the mounting screws included?
Yes, the product is supplied with all necessary fitting screws for a standard installation.
Is this lock suitable for exterior use?
While the silver finish is durable, it is intended for use on doors that are sheltered from extreme, constant wet weather to prevent potential corrosion.
Can I install this on a door that opens outwards?
Security chains are designed for inward-opening doors. They may not function correctly or provide adequate security on outward-opening doors.
Troubleshooting
Chain is difficult to slide in the track
Check the track for any obstructions or paint build-up and apply a dry silicone lubricant.
Screws feel loose in the door frame
Fill the existing screw holes with wood filler or plugs, allow to dry, and re-drill the pilot holes for a tighter fit.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Includes all necessary mounting hardware
- Provides peace of mind when answering the door to strangers
- Durable build quality suitable for frequent daily use
Cons
- Not a replacement for high-security deadbolt locks
- Requires drilling holes into the door frame and door face
- Does not prevent forced entry if the door or frame material is weak
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward but requires basic tools including a drill, drill bits, and a screwdriver. 1. Determine the optimal placement height on the door edge and frame. 2. Mark the pilot holes to ensure the chain remains taut without being overstretched. 3. Use the supplied screws to mount the base plate to the door frame and the retainer to the door face. Ensure the wood or metal surface is sturdy enough to hold the screws securely. For maintenance, periodically inspect the screws to ensure they have not loosened over time. If the chain becomes stiff, a light application of dry silicone lubricant can help it slide more smoothly within the track.
