Any recommendations for a chain and lock. At least something to combat a common bolt cutter. It's temporary until I can get a solar opener on it in the spring.
Get a cable -- it's a little harder to cut than chain (and very difficult with bolt cutters). Lowes sells 3/8" coated Schlage lock cables -- I think the 7 footer is about $8. I used to loop that around gate and post a few times. Shorter cable might be fine.
Grade 100 chain: Campbell Chain 040541205 3/8" X 5 FT Grade 100 Alloy Chain Bright: Coil Chains: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific and a 7/16" high security lock (such as: Schlage 994831 Solid Steel Round Padlock, 63.5mm, 2.5-Inch Shackle, 2-Count Keyed Alike - - Amazon.com )Any recommendations for a chain and lock.
