Overhead Door Hoist "CHAIN"

[gmein]

Had a chain stolen from a site where a steel building was being erected. I had bought the drive gear and hoist mechanism online last year. Now all I need is the chain. Anyhow, I need a source for that chain type but I am coming up empty as I research it. It is basic unwelded 1/4" or less import stuff but to no avail. Can anybody point me to a local supplier. I am sure this stuff is used somewhere else besides the roll up door industry. Any help will do. Thanks

I bought two doors used from two different people, one came with everything, the other, I had to buy a hoist online. I only need the chain for the one door now that it has come up missing. Just trying to find this type of chain out there somewhere local. Of course the roll up door people sell the chain, but it ain't worth 2.50 a foot. Just need a direction to go in. Years ago I had two doors installed that were 16' high in a 12' high opening, there was leftover chain as it was shortened so it would not drag the floor. They left it with me as I now use it for a dog chain. I caledl an overhead door company today locally and asked if they had any remnants that I could get to splice together for my 18' need, they said we usually leave that with the customer. Dah!!!

I'm not exactly sure which size you need, but it's probably around a dollar a foot or less?
