Handcuffs: Essential Tool for Security and Control

Handcuffs are a vital instrument in the fields of police, security services, and the military. Their function to secure individuals and restrict movement is indispensable in many situations.

Different Types of Handcuffs Available at ASMC

ASMC offers a wide range of handcuffs for different applications. You can find everything from police and security handcuffs to plush handcuffs and restraints. All products are of high quality and tailored to the needs of professional use. The choice of the right handcuffs depends on various factors, such as the area of use and your specific requirements.

Police Handcuffs for Professional Use

Police Handcuffs are designed for professional use. They must be robust, reliable, and easy to use. They need to be applied quickly to maintain control in critical situations. At the same time, it is important that you can securely lock the handcuffs without injuring the person.

Maximum Security with Security Handcuffs

In the security sector, the requirements for handcuffs are particularly high. The KH Security Handcuff Rigid Double Lock is an outstanding example of specially developed handcuffs for this sector. They are ideal for arrests and transfers and are preferred by police, corrections, customs, and private security services. The rigid locking mechanism greatly restricts the movement of the restrained person, and the double lock mechanism further increases security. These handcuffs offer an optimal combination of robustness, reliability, and safety.

Restraints as a Cost-Effective Solution

Restraints offer a practical and cost-effective solution for temporarily securing individuals. They are especially useful in situations that require a quick response or where a large number of people need to be secured. Restraints are lightweight, space-saving, and extremely reliable.

Practice Makes Perfect: Applying Handcuffs Correctly

Handcuffs or restraints are used to restrict a person's movements. They are typically used to bring the hands together behind the back or in front of the abdomen. The handcuffs are placed around the wrists and locked. You can only open them with a security key, which should be kept safe, as handcuffs are made of very hard material and cannot be easily opened without the key.

When Can I Handcuff a Person?

There must be valid reasons to handcuff a person, usually when the person is dangerous or there is a risk of escape. However, human dignity must be preserved. This means that you should not injure the person when applying the handcuffs and that the key must be kept secure to remove the "restraint device" when no longer needed.

Expert Tip: Cable Ties as an Alternative to Handcuffs

Special operations units increasingly use cable ties because they can be carried in larger quantities and stored in clothing, unlike handcuffs. They provide a "bomb-proof" hold, making them a good substitute. ASMC also offers models specifically designed for this use, such as those with a connector piece in the middle.

Questions: Handcuffs

How Do I Maintain Handcuffs?

Handcuffs can be maintained by "browning," which means oiling them. There are special oils available for treating handcuffs.

Is It Legal to Carry Handcuffs in Public?

Yes.

How Can I Open Handcuffs Without the Key?

This should generally not be easily possible, but it is feasible with handcuffs available for private use. You will need a hairpin or paperclip. According to some online guides, if the shackle can swing completely through when no wrist is in the way, you can simply push the spring that locks the shackle aside from the inside and release the shackle without a key.
