About this product
The Yale V-WS6-EB TS003 Door Chain offers a straightforward security upgrade for your home or garden door. This robust chain provides an extra layer of protection, suitable for both PVCu and wooden doors where a traditional deadlock is already in place. It’s a practical solution for adding peace of mind to any property without the expense of a full door replacement.
Designed by Yale, a trusted name in locks, this chain carries the ‘Pro’ high-security rating, meaning it's built to resist tampering and provides enhanced security against intrusion. The polished brass finish adds a touch of elegance while complementing a wide range of door styles and colours. It comes ‘Visi-packed,’ complete with all necessary fixings for straightforward installation – you shouldn’t need any specialist tools to fit it yourself.
This chain is ideal for homeowners looking for an affordable security enhancement, or perhaps for those renting properties where significant alterations aren't possible. Importantly, remember that the chain itself only restrains the door; it does not replace a deadlock and should be used in conjunction with one for maximum security.
Measuring 13.5cm in length, this Yale V-WS6-EB TS003 is a compact and effective addition to your home’s defence. It's a reliable choice for adding an extra level of protection where it's needed most – ensuring doors are more difficult to force open when you aren’t present.
