Many people put a shackle on the hangers so they can be treaded. This I thinks is done a bit in USA? So same things aply.

Rings similar to an eye bolt and are just about as good U's long as they are recesed properly.

I get my twisties for about 7 bucks. They are a good investment. A dab of glue on the thread will deter all except the most determined of hardware fleecer. If you catch such a person do not hesitate to throw rocks at them!
