Chainlock:
Pull out the chain, then somewhat quickly wiggle the joystick from south to southwest (around south-south-west) if they're on your left. To reverse chain lock, face east, and wiggle the joystick south-south west.
Chain-jacket:
Make sure to attack at least 3 times before attempting this, or it will cause a crash.
Once you have done whichever attack you want (you can use items too, even throws and Final Smashes), perform a short hop (does not have to be directly after the move). After you reach the peak, wait just a fraction of a second once Sheik begins to fall, and pull out the chain.
Marks of a properly performed chain-jacket:
1. A puff of "dust" comes out from around Sheik's shoulders.
2. A lower pitched "pang" noise can be heard when deploying the chain, as opposed to how it normally sounds.
You can check out the following thread for other Sheik tricks.

It is incredibly weird. I have not done it a single time. I gave up.
Watch videos of other people doing it on youtube. That might help you out with the timing.

if you just picked up sheik.. the chain jacket shouldn't be what you're focusing on right now -__-

While the Chain Jacket is awesome, I have to agree that it should not be the first thing you should be practicing. There are definitely more useful, applicable things to learn first!
1. F-Tilt Locking
2. Zelda
3. Chain Tether Stalls/Edge-Hogs
4. Vanish Gliding
5. DACUS (Dash Attack Cancelled Up-Smash, acts just like Snake's Snake Dash)
6. Other stuff (Chain Jacket, Needle Cancel tricks, etc.)
If you have 1-3 down, then you'll definitely be on your way towards a good Sheik!
And welcome to the Sheik boards!

The move itself is very very simple. It stands for Dash Attack Cancelled into Up Smash. It's pretty clear how to do it from that.
This is what you do. It helps to think of it as a 1, 2, 3, 4 motion.
1. Forward
2. C-stick Down
3. A
4. Up.
While your left thumb rotates the joy stick from Right/Left to Up, your right hand hit's C-stick Down and A. Tap Jump OFF makes it easier, otherwise you'll find yourself jumping and d-airing a lot. If you can time it right, though, and hit A a fraction of a second before Up, you don't really need to.
As soon as Sheik begins the Dash Attack, input the Up Smash. You have BARELY half a second to do it. Timing is everything here (And for a mommeennttt the worrllddd disappears. Sorry, song I like)
Anyway, practice practice practice. You have to pretty much hit Cstick Down and A at the same time, and A and Up at the same time, but at the same time, it has to be 3 different inputs.
NOTE: Feel free to change the button config. I always forget to choose my player, so I didn't bother learning it that way. A popular config is set Z to attack. To make up for the grab issue you can make L or R grab.
Assuming Z is now attack.
Forward > Z > Up&A
Basically, it's just this.
1. Forward
2. Whatever makes you dash attack.
3. Whatever makes you attack. 4. Up.

Trust me. When you get it 1 out of 100 times, it's YOU that has "OMGWTF" written all over your face.

Bahahaha I did it like 20 times yesterday. Once you get it once it's easy from there on out.

I do it quite a bit in my matches now, an easy way i found out is to change R to attack and turn tap jump off, i do 8/10 times now and it is cool when you hit them in the face with it

lol.
I'm having a lot of trouble doing the chain jacket. I can only do it sucessfully once in a blue moon ;~;
Though I have done it 2 times in a row, which is awesomeee. More practise tomorrow!

first time i read that, i thought you were talking about chain-jacketing. D:
but yeah i can get the DACUS almost on command. sometimes i screw up, but more often i get it.
I've seen this done by link and i was wondering if this is possible for sheik. It only works for certain attacks like falco, fox, and jigglypuffs down smash. im not sure if thats all the attacks it works on.
After the smash attack happens DI towards the ground and use the chain before you leave the platform. You should be able to stop all momentum and grab the edge.
Heres the video im going to test this out today. just go to minute 4:40

I was.
Anyway, T,
Yeah. If you DI out of a Smash/powerful attack that sends you flying to the sides (Zelda's F-smash sometimes works), throw out the chain before you actually reach the ledge. By the time you pull it out, it should latch on. (Make sure you LET GO of B.)
No matter how fast you go, if you pull it out at the right time, it hooks.

that only works with Z-tethers. i happened upon that while playing as link on norfair. you can just z as soon as you're out of hitstun to stop all your momentum. tried it with sheik and zamus and didn't work.
