Quick Overview

These heavy-gauge steel handcuffs are designed for law enforcement and security professionals for the temporary restraint and control of subjects during patrol, transport, and processing. The critical double lock mechanism prevents accidental over-tightening, reducing the risk of injury to the detainee and liability for the operator.

Field Application Steps

  1. Maintain subject control while applying the first cuff to the wrist, ensuring a proper fit.
  2. Secure the subject's second wrist, typically behind the back with palms facing outward, and check tension.
  3. Verify both cuffs are not restricting circulation or loose enough to be slipped over the hand.
  4. Immediately engage the double lock on both cuffs using the key pin to fix the ratchet in place.
  5. After securing, conduct a search and continuously monitor the subject for signs of distress.
