Bulk chain numbers?

[Rat Pilot]

I need to put chains on several bikes and I’d like a box a of chain. What series chain (or what number) do single speed cruiser type bikes use? I don’t need need skiptooth, just regular 50’s - current single speed chain.

#410, I believe.

I have heard garage door openers use std bike chain but have not tried recycling it on a bike.

410 is 1/2x1/8 so it'll work for coaster brake/single speed bikes. It's also what's used (or was used) on some garage door openers. I asked my local garage door place if they ever ended up with any used garage door chain that came out of old installations, but they said no so I guess it's either not that common anymore of they just trash it immediately.
