Ives 481F26D Steel Chain Door Guard Satin Chrome

Product Description

The IVES 481F26D is a steel chain door guard finished in satin chrome, designed to allow a door to be opened slightly for visual identification while keeping the door secured against forced entry. The guard mounts to the door and door frame, providing a secondary security measure for residential and light commercial doors. Constructed from steel with a satin chrome finish, it offers durability and corrosion resistance in standard interior environments. The compact profile measures 3.3 inches in length and 0.7 inches in height, making it unobtrusive on the door face. Installation and hardware replacement are typical tasks for locksmiths, general contractors, and facilities maintenance personnel.

The 481F26D is suited for residential entry doors, apartment unit doors, and light commercial access points where a chain-style door guard is specified. It provides a controlled-opening security function, allowing occupants to screen visitors before granting full access. The satin chrome finish coordinates with standard architectural door hardware in residential and hospitality applications. Sold individually, with a case quantity of 10 units available for multi-unit or contractor purchases.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a locksmith, carpenter, or general contractor using basic hand tools. Power down any associated access control systems before working on the door frame. Mount the strike plate to the door frame and the chain bracket to the door face at the appropriate height per local building code requirements. Do not overtighten fasteners, as this may strip the mounting surface or distort the hardware.
