In general you need a chain tool. A chain tool allows you to open a bike chain by pushing a pin most of the way out and reconnect it by pushing the pin back in.

Some derailleur bikes do have a master link type link that can be used to open and close a chain but you will need a chain tool in order to make the chain the right length.
