ONVAYA® door handle chain with scratch protection | door chain | security chain | door safety | WITHOUT drilling the door

I needed something for my dear old dad for when he answers the door, this is perfect, easy to fit, easy to use, key release in case of emergencies. I did find it kept slipping off his door handle, but that was easily fixed with a simple rubber band on the handle to stop it slipping off.Now if only there was an easy way to get him to use it....

Great design. Does the job very very well. Its very strong- It’s been tested by an unwanted visitor, and it stood up well.Installation is pretty easy however you do have to put a fair amount of thought into the installation position as it can make ALL the difference to the functionality.

We decided we didn’t want to drill the frame on our new door so opted for this (the door manufacturers warranty conditions are OTT). The no scratch idea is great with one improvement suggestion, IMHO it would be even better if the loop was rubber coated to protect the door handle.Fitting isn’t too hard, drill the wall in the right place, but make sure you get it close enough so you don’t have to lift the handle to put on or remove the loop. In fact if in doubt put it a few mm closer just to make sure.Overall this is a really well made door chain which seems reassuringly strong .

This safety chain is ideal for any uPVC door. If your multipoint lock is operated by lifting up the handle, the main thing to watch before fixing the main body is to make sure the metal loop around the door handle can't slip off when the handle is raised. It's a critical point and a bit fiddly to get it right, but persevere.

Easy to install, well made, strong and solid. This one has a cover on the chain to help stop it marking the door and a small separate hook to hang the end of the door chain on when not in use. The only criticism I have is that the two screws to fix the mounting bracket on are far too long, being 6 cm. That is ridiculous. I changed them to others of 2.5 cm. Anyway, pleased I bought this one.

This chain is very sturdy and looks the part. However the fixing of it can be tricky if the door buts up to a UPVc window. I have had to drill into the tile surround of the window as there was no space by the door. The key opening makes this possible.

I love idea that only one side of chain need to be drilled (and it’s to the wall). It’s solid, had protection over the chain. BUT this chain is useless for handle that moves up and down.

Fitted to front doorway without having to drill holes into new composite door.
