English Chain

English Chain (English Chain Company Limited) is a long-established UK specialist supplier of chain, chain assemblies, and accessories, with a strong trade presence in security chains, cables and locks, plus complementary ironmongery and fittings. The company traces its roots back to 1923 and positions itself as “the UK specialist” in this niche, built on decades of manufacturing, exporting, and distribution know-how. 

In the product world, English Chain sits in that sweet spot of practical, spec-by-thickness hardware—from lighter decorative and general-purpose chain through to serious hardened security chain + padlock sets for bikes, motorbikes, caravans, and property anchoring. Their ranges include named security lines such as Superquad (heavy-duty square-link style) and other medium/high-security chain options, often offered sleeved to protect finishes and make attacks more awkward. 

Operationally, English Chain is based in Godalming, Surrey (their “Chain House” site is used across trade/contact listings), and they also run English Chain Direct, an online arm described as part of English Chain Co. Ltd, selling a wide spread of chain types (steel, stainless, plastic, welded, etc.) alongside security products and accessories.
