ASMC offers a wide range of handcuffs for various applications. Here, you'll find everything from police and security handcuffs to novelty plush handcuffs and restraints. All products are of high quality and tailored to the needs of professional use. Choosing the right handcuffs depends on various factors, such as the intended use and your specific requirements.
Police Handcuffs for Professional Use
Police handcuffs are designed for professional use. They need to be robust, reliable, and easy to use. Applying them should be quick to maintain control in critical situations. At the same time, it's important that you can securely lock the handcuffs without causing harm to the individual.
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 a handcuff specially developed for this sector. It is ideal for making arrests and transfers and is preferred by police, correctional facilities, customs, or private security services. The rigid locking restricts the movement of the restrained person significantly, and the double lock mechanism further enhances security. These handcuffs offer an optimal combination of robustness, reliability, and security.
Restraints as a Cost-Effective Solution
Restraints offer a practical and cost-effective solution for the temporary restraint of individuals. They are particularly useful in situations where a quick response is required or a large number of people need to be secured. Restraints are lightweight, space-saving, and extremely reliable.
Proper Application: How to Apply Handcuffs Correctly
Handcuffs or restraints are used to impair a person's movement. Typically, they are 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 safety key. This key should be securely stored because handcuffs are made of very tough material and cannot be easily opened without it.
When Am I Allowed to Put Someone in Handcuffs?
To put someone in handcuffs, there must be valid reasons. Typically, the person is dangerous or there is a risk of escape. However, human dignity must be preserved. This means that you must try not to injure the person when putting on the handcuffs, and the key must be securely stored to be able to remove the "restraint device" at any time when it is no longer needed.
Expert Tip: Cable Ties as an Alternative to Handcuffs
Special operations teams also frequently use cable ties now, as they can be carried in larger quantities and stored in tactical gear more easily than with handcuffs. Since they also provide "bombproof" security, they are a good alternative. However, ASMC also offers models of "cable ties" specifically tailored to this area of use, which, for example, have a composite piece in the middle.
Questions: Handcuffs
How Do I Maintain Handcuffs?
For handcuffs as well as for firearms, "bluing" is recommended, which means oiling. There is special gun oil that you can also use to treat handcuffs.
Is It Legal to Wear Handcuffs in Public?
Yes. They do not count as weapons and are therefore not prohibited.
How Can I Open Handcuffs without the Corresponding Key?
This should ideally not be so easy, but it is quite possible with handcuffs available for private use. What you need: A hairpin or paperclip. According to some instructions you can find online, an important prerequisite is that the cuffs can completely swivel through if there is no wrist in the way. With some cuffs, you can then simply bend aside the spring responsible for the locking mechanism from the inside and thus release the shackle directly without a key.
