Ranger Lock Junior Chain Lockguard with 1 in Padlock

Chain Lockguard with 1 in Padlock

This hardened-steel guard fits chains, cables and fence gates that use a 1 in shackle padlock. It accepts a maximum shackle diameter of 3/8 in and provides 1 in of vertical shackle clearance. The black, weather-resistant body protects the lock mechanism from the elements. It is suited for securing outdoor perimeters and utility enclosures.

Shackle Fit and Clearance Limits

The guard only works with padlocks that have a 1 in high shackle and a shank no thicker than 3/8 in. Larger-diameter shackles or shorter shackle heights will not engage the locking bolt. The fixed 3 in and 4 in body dimensions set the maximum chain-link or cable-eye size that can pass through. Installers must verify their existing hardware matches these exact tolerances before purchase.

Capacity and Headroom for Outdoor Security

The assembly comfortably secures standard gate chains, utility cables and fence hasps within the stated shackle and clearance range. It runs out of headroom when the shackle exceeds 3/8 in diameter or when the vertical clearance needed is greater than 1 in. Heavy-duty industrial chains or high-security padlocks with oversized shackles fall outside the design envelope. Buyers needing larger shackle diameters or greater vertical clearance should look for a larger guard model.
