What is the maximum size chain that will fit over the swing hook? I am installing an indoor swing with heavy-duty chains (not regular swing chains).

3/8", that is the opening width at the top of the hook. The hook itself is 5/16 diameter. The hook opening is 3/4" diameter at it's widest dimension. Hope this helps, regards

I put on another snap-hook/carabiner with 6-7mm through the swings-hook's opening

I think I used 1/4 coated and that slipped over no problem. But not sure the exact opening. Will check tonight

What will I be hanging this on or from? I hung mine from a tree it's pretty big and the rope is long. All I need was a 2 foot chain link to connect around the tree with.

The distance from the chain holding up the swing to the back of the swing is 1 ft. 2 inches. If you attach the chain at the edge of your eaves (3 1/2 ft) you would have 2 ft. 4 inches of swing distance. If you feel that is enough, then it would probably work.

By simply removing a few links, you can make the chain as long/short as you like. 24" w/hooks. Just the chain 10",I have it doubled up. I have mine 15" from ceiling to the top of rack, rack is 3" deep. This unit is awesome and huge!9

We have it on a typical swing set and there is no problem. So, like 8 ft. I'm sure you could go a little less, too, if you're swing set is shorter. Just make the chains shorter.

I'm pretty sure it won't fit. I just removed my chains and didn't replace them with anything.

Yo may need to purchase a longer chain to wrap around your tree or drill/screw in your hooks into the tree. The problem you are facing is the right amount of distance between the trees for it to hang properly.

I mounted mine at a separation of 16 inches center to center, with the swing seat 15 inches wide and the length of the chain to the seat 69 inches. I measured park swings as greater than 16 inches but the other dimensions were different as well. Mine swings without a problem. They are great hinges. Make sure that they are bolted in, NOT lag screws.

I have 2 chains we hung from a tree years ago for my daughter to have various swings as she grew up. I now use those to chains and a 'S' hook I got to hang my chair hammock. The chair just has a loop at the top made with same fabric as the rest of the chair.

When I needed extra chain for my swing I went to the local hardware store and bought chain.I don't know if Amazon sells chain or not I just need extra chain links for my swing

Yes. Mine is hung from an old swing set that is over 6' and I have plenty of chain left.

These are VERY sturdy. Yes, if you have the hardware and saddle that can hold an adult then these chains definitely will. I am satisfied with mine even though they are for my son's swing set. Unfortunately, the chains cost half of what the entire swing set did. :-)

You use the metal carabiner to attach it to the swing, so it will just attach through the chain. Our swings have a metal loop at the top and this attaches right through that.

You need to purchase a porch swing hanging kit from like Home Depot. They are long bolts that screw into a beam. They will say on the package how much weight they can hold. I think mine are 250 each (there are 2) and I bought porch swing springs (about $10 each at Home Depot). The swing chain has large hooks that fit into them. My husband and I are more than 400 together and we are fine. I think it's more about the strength of the beam you put it in. We have 2 swings (front and back) and they are both secured in heavy, weight bearing beams. Hope this helps (:

Don't worry about the swing . Worry about the pine tree. You may need longer chains. Pine trees are brittle,tend to snap.

I bought this same replacement in April 2013 and love it. My swing measures approx. 76"x45" and we have constant high winds and it has held up extremely well. I can't say if it would fit yours but I was leary also and really happy that it did and it was not fit tight, which I thought it would. Every item is always different I guess. I would order this again when needed. Wish you luck on this. For the price it is well worth it.

No, the hook is about 1/2 an inch. It fits mine doors perfectly and they are just basic 1/2 wooden swing doors.
