Welcome to our fitting a door security chain video and the first thing that we're going to do is to make sure that we've got enough room on our frame to fit the chain itself
Take a look at the page on our website about the dimensions of your security chain
Put the chain bracket on the frame and mark the holes. You'll see that this chain has been fitted before
before but we're refitting it because the screws simply weren't long enough
So mark the position of the holes on the frame, keep them opposite the mid-rail towards
the top of the mid-rail where the mid-rail isn't broken by the letterbox
So having marked the holes, then drill in pilot holes for the screws for the door chain and
then obviously screw the chain in place. It's best to use a hand screwdriver for these particular screws
An electric screwdriver does tend to mark the wall as you screw in
Fit the end of the chain in the little slot provided to keep it out of the way and then offer up the keep, the chain keep, the chain keep
and slide that backwards and forwards along the midrail until you can see the position that you can open the door to avoid people being able to get their hand behind it and remove the chain from its keep
Watch the video and see how we demonstrate this. Thank you We identified now the position that we like to keep to be in
Close the door and mark one of the screw holes. Make a pilot hole for the screw and then fix the keep in position with just the keep in position with just
the one screw for now. Make sure that screw is very tight and then we're able to get a boat level or a torpedo level and level
that keep up with the chain bracket on the frame and once we're sure that we've got it level
then we can fix the rest of the screws. Make the pilot holes first and fix the screws
Then we can fit the chain and open the door to make the
sure that we have put the keep in exactly the right place. There we go. You can see that
that now opens enough to be able to pass identity cards through or whatever, but as you
can see, the burglar can't lift the chain out of the keep. If you like more of our videos
