About this item
- COMPLETE SECURITY KIT - Each kit includes a premium, solid forged one-piece pad lock, three keys, 3/8" x 9' high security chain and a cordura wear pad. Chain length may vary +/- up to 2". Professional operators choose Vulcan chain and lock kits to secure millions of pieces of valuable equipment every year — including trailers, motorcycles, bikes, and ATVs. Work with confidence, knowing that these chains and locks are backed by the 50 years of manufacturing expertise that only Vulcan can provide.
- AMERICAN, FAMILY-OWNED BUSINESS, BASED IN DETROIT, MICHIGAN SINCE 1959 – VULCAN is proud to be based in Detroit, MI USA. We have always been family owned and operated, and are now in our fourth generation of trucking and towing supply experts. Make sure you know who you are buying from. Don’t settle for cheap knockoffs sold by the latest foreign company. Buy from the US based company that designed the products originally. Buy from VULCAN.
- NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DEFEAT OR CUT - The case hardened chain cannot be cut by hand with bolt cutters, and the lock includes a maximum security mechanism for ultimate protection. The square link shape of the chain does not allow bolt cutters to get a proper grip and the lock has been specially designed to be nearly impossible to grip with burglary tools. If you do not have the keys, you literally need an acetylene torch to defeat this chain and lock kit.
- HIGHEST QUALITY MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION - The solid forged brass one-piece body padlock has an exclusive shape and design that cannot be defeated with any normal burglary tools. The case hardened security chain is hardened to 63 rc at 10% depth and 50 rc in the core, making it impossible to cut with bolt cutters or any other hand tool. No other lock and chain kit on the market is made of stronger materials or has a more difficult design for criminals to defeat.
- ADDITIONAL PROTECTIVE FEATURES - The case hardened, square link security chain has an electro-galvanized finish for maximum corrosion protection, and it is fully covered in a cordura wear pad to protect against scratching on valuable tire rims, paint jobs, powder coating or other finishes.This anti theft kit works perfectly as a bike chain and bike lock, motorcycle chain and motorcycle lock, trailer chain and trailer lock, or ATV chain and ATV lock.
- LIFETIME GUARANTEE ON CHAIN - Vulcan offers a lifetime guarantee on the heavy duty chain if it is ever cut with a bolt cutter or hand tool. Only Vulcan Brands premium case hardened security chain and lock kits have all of the premium features and materials required to keep your valuable machinery, motorcycles or facilities safe.

The chain is incredibly sturdy and durable, and the lock is top-notch, providing an added layer of security. I feel confident that my items are safe and secure when I use this kit, and I appreciate the peace of mind it gives me.
One of the things I appreciate about this kit is its versatility - it can be used to secure anything from bicycles to ATVs to trailers and more. The chain is coated to prevent scratching, and the lock is easy to use and comes with two keys.
Overall, I highly recommend the VULCAN Security Chain and Lock Kit to anyone looking for a reliable and sturdy security solution. Whether you're securing your property at home or on the go, this kit is a great investment that will give you peace of mind for years to come.
Together, this lock and chain give a security mechanism that defeats even very strong bolt cutters, which is what I was after. Obviously it can be defeated by an angle grinder (as any lock or chain can), and possibly by drilling out the lock (although I haven't seen that tested). However, attacks with power tools would be somewhat difficult without putting the lock or chain in a vise, and more importantly would cause huge amounts of sparks and noise for over a minute. That's about the best security that it's possible to achieve with just a padlock and chain (given the amount of research that I was willing to do).
The price (from Ratchet Strap Warehouse) is great too -- significantly cheaper than I was able to find equivalent secure lock and chain elsewhere.
Both of the padlocks that I have received have worked very smoothly, with no sign of the stiff/wedged shackle that was reported in one review on Amazon. But just in case, I plan to occasionally squirt some WD-40 into the keyway and shackle housing.
Note that both the lock and the chain are very heavy, which means that the 3' chain might sometimes be the better option. E.g. I ordered two of the 6' chains (and locks) for securing vehicles and trailers, but I also want to secure a gate that is in frequent use. As I don't need 6' length of chain for the gate, and the weight of 6' chain makes it somewhat unwieldy, I just ordered a 3' chain (with the same lock).
Update on 9/11/17: Instead of WD-40, I've learned that it's best to use non-stick Teflon as a lubricant for padlocks. I'm using this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003UTX0R8/
Also, my earlier statement about "spare keys can still be made reasonably cheaply" is still yet to be verified, as none of our local locksmiths (in WA, USA) had the necessary blanks to be able to make keys for the Viro locks. I'm still trying to find a way to obtain spare keys.
I appreciated that it has a fabric sheath, because it's easier to handle and doesn't scratch my bike's rims. The build quality seems titanic, I couldn't imagine a couple of guys quickly getting through this without some serious effort and 10+ minutes. I felt safe when it was on my bike.
That being said, I started not bringing it along because it was so heavy, and I began realizing I didn't really need it for the area I was in.
Pros:
-Great build quality
-Fabric sheath good for preventing scratches and pinches
-Lock felt very solid, and was easy to open and close with the keys
-Sturdy, compact bag for carrying was a bonus
Cons:
-Heavy
-The lock itself seemed easily pick-able. Very durable, but someone with a lock-pick set would make quick work of it.
Would I buy it again?
Yes, it's a quality product. Maybe a bit on the pricey side, but it felt good.
