FAQs
What is the diameter of the shackle?
The shackle is 16mm thick and made from hardened steel.
What type of surface is required for installation?
The anchor must be installed into a solid concrete surface for secure mounting.
Can this anchor be used outdoors?
Yes, the anchor is made from corrosion-resistant hardened steel, making it suitable for all weather conditions.
Does it come with installation hardware?
Yes, the anchor includes bolts for secure ground installation into concrete.
What is the benefit of it laying flat?
When not in use, the anchor lays flat, making it safe to drive or walk over without obstruction or risk of damage.
Is this anchor suitable for light-duty security needs?
While effective for light-duty needs, this anchor is specifically engineered for heavy-duty applications and high-risk areas due to its robust construction.
Troubleshooting
Anchor feels loose after installation
Ensure all mounting bolts are fully tightened into the concrete. If the concrete is old or damaged, consider re-drilling and using stronger fixings or a concrete repair compound.
Difficulty attaching chain or lock
Verify that the chain link or shackle you are using is smaller than or equal to the 16mm internal diameter of the OnGuard anchor's shackle.
Visible rust or corrosion
While designed to be corrosion-resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh salt or chemical environments may cause minor surface rust. Clean with a soft brush and water. For significant corrosion, consult a hardware professional.
