Video Transcript for Laclede 27 inch Long Safety Chain with Hook Review
Hi, everyone. Aidan here at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install these replacement safety chains from Laclede. Now, each chain is going to have a 7/16th S hook on the end, a quarter inch diameter chain and each chain is going to be 27 inches long and that includes that S hook on the end. The S hook will go to our safety chain loops, of course. And then the free link at the end is what we'll actually install on the trailer side.
Now this does only come with one safety chain so if you need two, like we did today, be sure to pick up two for your trailer. Now these do have a safe working load limit of 1,250 pounds and a brake strength of 5,000 pounds, so just keep that in mind with what you're gonna be hauling on your trailer. They are gonna have a nice steel construction with a zinc coating. That's gonna help it resist some rust and corrosion, but it's not immune. Like anything metal sitting outside in the elements, eventually you probably will get some of that corrosion build up, so just keep an eye on them and make sure if you need your replace them, you do.
And that replacement process is really simple. We got ours done in no time. Check out how we did it. Now, the first step of the installation is gonna actually be for us replacing the old chains. So, we're gonna get these removed.
Now, ours aren't necessarily in bad shape, but we're just kind of doing this for demonstration purposes and on our trailer we'll want to remove this front bolt on the coupler because our safety chains are actually fed through that. So as I pull this bolt out, you'll see them fall just like that. With our old safety chains removed, we can take our old hardware that we had. You will need to either use your old hardware or pick up new hardware because the chains don't come with any new hardware but we'll just slide our bolt through, have a chain on either side, since we're replacing both. We can thread on this nut here and then we can secure everything down with our wrench and socket.
And with everything secured, we can take our safety chains, hook them onto the safety chain loops and then we're ready to hit the road. And that'll do it for our look at these Laclede safety chains. Thanks for watching..

Purchased a pair of safety chains and latch hooks to make new boat trailer safety chains. The design was based on the extensive product descriptions and everything went together perfectly. All items were received quickly and packed nicely. eTrailer always provides me with the best products and selection. Thanks again!
by: John 08/28/2023
The chains are very nice but not what is pictured. The shipping was fast and I would be more than willing to do business with Etrailer again.

good quaily

I've been redoing this trailer .everything I've needed is exactly what I received. We'll be doing another one together thanks

Another excellent quality product from Etrailer. I have been a customer of etrailer for years and I have been happy with the products I receive from them. I recently installed a folding trailer tongue on my boat trailer and needed to install a safety chain for the hinge area. Perfect weight rating and length.

Great customer service and quality products. Everything's performing well.

Replacing the safety chains was quick and easy. Ready for the summer.

Product came as described, exactly what I needed

This is the second hitch I have purchased from etrailer and, again, it was a perfect fit. Everything I buy from here is exactly what they say it is and exactly what I was needing.
I will always recommend etrailer, they have never let me down.

All is good. All products are performing as expected and wanted. As usual I am more than satisfied with every product I have purchased from you. I also suggest to others they buy from you as I have always had good experiences.

My jet ski trailer came with a safety chain on one side from the factory. Now isn't that the most odd way to secure the trailer? I welded a matching metal tongue on the other side, drilled a hole and bolted in this safety chain. Perfect size and match. Recommended.

They safety chains were exactly what Hoped they'd be. Good quality. They arrived quickly and were packaged nicely. Thanks!!!!!!!

I have bought many products from eTrailer including my fifth wheel hitch, but this is the first time that I had to return an item because of my error. I called eTrailer and spoke to Bridget A. and she made the process so easy. I received the product that I actually needed very quickly. And once they received my return, they credited my account. I give them an A+.

The 12" Ball Extension Bar works Great. It allows me to make 90 Degree Angle Turns without hitting my trucks bumper. Of course I needed to extend the electrical light connection and added an additional length of Safety Chain (2118-605-04) with the (C81277) connector link. Works Great and the items got here in 3 days.

Recently I purchased the Swagman Hitch Bike Racks (S64600) and the Hidden Hitch Ball Mounts (80233). After installing the items on my truck, I found that I needed extra long chains to hook the trailer to the truck hitch mount. I had to then order the 28 inch long safety chains (2118-605-04). Etrailer processed the order and shipped the item promptly. The chains are well made from heavy stock. You can not go wrong if you place an order with Etrailer.

Great prices and fast delivery. The quality of merchandise and price are very good. The website also provides very helpful technical information regarding lug pattern specifications. I will definitely be recommending etrailer to my friends.
Thanks! Great shopping experience, I will be back when it comes time to replace my utility trailer tires.
by: Bob L11/29/2020
Replaced a chain I had on a trailer that was underrated and it broke. Replaced it with this 5000lb safety chain and have had no problems at all. Thanks etrailer for having the right replacement products
by: Jim 07/11/2023
The chain should do the job.
by: Randy 10/04/2020
Excellent customer service!! Within an hour of placing my order I received an email stating the parts I ordered were not in stock, HOWEVER, they recommended another replacement part which was cheaper and BETTER!!! AND, received it within a couple of days!! Saved about $60.00! I have always been reluctant to order parts such as this online, (Trailer Hubs) These chains were also part of the order, however the hubs were the main purchase!! AWESOME experience!
by: Louis06/04/2018
I received my trailer safety chains sooner then expected. They are more then I expected , great value for the money. I didn,t get a chance to install them yet but I'm sure they will work fine. thanks .
by: mark s.07/23/2013
I was surprised to receive the chains in the mail so fast, I think it was within three days. Before buying from etrailer, I checked the price at my local L***'* building supply and this same product was about 1/4 % higher in cost, and it did not have the S hooks with it. I am also very satisfied with the quality of the chains.
by: lloyd W.09/03/2016
The trailer chain is not of good quality. After only about 6 trips to the water, the rust is appearing on both chains. I will need to replace them soon.
by: Dale Dalle Nogare01/11/2014
These safety chains are perfect for both my boat trailers. When installed they will give me that extra piece of mind while i'am heading to the lake for a weekend of fun.
by: STEVE07/05/2016
AFTER A YEAR THE SAFETY CHAINS LOOK BRAND NEW AND WORK FINE. VERY PLEASED WITH ALL THE PRODUCTS I BOUGHT AT ETRAILER.COM.
by: Larry02/25/2019
I ordered a couple of fenders and other small hardware for a camp trailer I’m building. I bought enough to qualify for free shipping. The order went through very quickly and the package arrived two days earlier than promised! All was correct with the order. No damage. Great service.

Just like they were made for my boat trailer with a folding tongue.
