Easy alternative to a door chain
Secure a door without the need for chains – just a solid locking bar

Safely restrict the opening of your door with the MAX6 Extra Strong Door Guard to identify and communicate with unknown visitors and deter forced entry!
Made from zinc, the MAX6 extra strong door guard is an alternative to a traditional door chain. It gives the highest possible security against forcible door entry and is the ideal choice for anyone with limited hand movement or arthritis as there is no chain to deal with, just a solid locking bar:
The door guards consists of two parts; the moving arm and the receiving plate, and comes with fixing screws. The door guards are very easy to fit and use, and will fit onto any door.
To compliment the Door Guards, we have also developed hollow wall anchors. Hollow wall anchors are used to fix the screws into the plastic door frame to get a good, solid fix. The reason these are needed is because a door frame maybe 2mm thick, so there is not enough material for the screws to grip. These are especially needed when fixing many products such as door chains etc. into think skins of uPVC panels or composite door skins.
Unlike other wall fixings, we adjusted the grip spike to get a good fix, but not making it too big so that it can shatter or crack plastic. We then specified counter sunk bolts in either Brass or Chrome, so they suit most colour by volume, and fits into our counter sunk furniture. Each pack comes with 6 fixings and plated bolts.

At MAX6we are constantly striving to improve on the products we already supply as well as develop new, pioneering ranges and practical product solutions.
With an in house testing centre and product developer, each stage of the development process is thorough, from the initial design right down to the final product. In house 3D printing technology allows for further and more precise advancement of our products which are then expertly manufactured and put through stringent testing conditions using in house test equipment – ensuring all products are designed to the highest standards:
Tensile Strength Testing Machine
The tensile strength machine tests the resistance of a material to breaking under tension. It is used to see how well our door guards perform when pressure is applied to them. The products are attached to pieces of timber or plastic to see how well the fixings perform with the overall product, which gives a more accurate test on the overall product performance. Products are tested to 100kg and are in accordance with ISO EN16281:2013 and DHF TS 003:2012 standards:
The extra strong door guard consists of 2 parts: the moving arm guard and the receiving plate. Fixing screws are also supplied in the pack.
1- The moving arm guard is to be fixed to the side of the doorframe. You should put the guard at a height that suits you. We would recommend fitting the restrictor around waist height, so you do not have to bend down when using it.
2- Use the fixing screws to securely fix the door guard to the to the door frame with the moving arm positioned to cover the door. NB: If fixing into wooden frame then you may find it slightly easier to make a small pilot hole first. If fixing into plastic do not make a pilot hole. You can make an indent to start the screws grabbing.
3- Once done, line the receiver plate with the moving arm plate so that the ball fits into the middle of the wider gap at the end of the moving arm. This is the point where the moving arm pivots.
4- Fix the receiver plate using the remaining screws and the same procedure as above.
TESTING
Fold the moving arm across the door so it is flat with the door. At this point the ball in the receiver plate will be about central at the end of the moving arm.
USING
Use your door guard at all times when you want security in your property. Simply fold the moving arm across the door. If you want to open the door fully then lift the moving arm.
MAINTENANCE
Your door guard should give you years of trouble free use. However, once a year clean the door guard with a mild soap solution diluted in water. Dry off with a lint free cloth.
