Tri-Hinged Handcuffs

Tri-Hinged Steel Handcuffs

These United Defense handcuffs join the two cuffs with three solid steel hinge bars instead of a chain. That hinged link keeps the wrists close and rigid, so a restrained person has much less room to twist, rotate or brace against the cuffs than with chain-linked models. They are built as a police-style restraint for security staff, training use and anyone who wants a hinged pair on hand.

Features

• Triple-Hinged Connection — Three solid steel hinge bars replace the usual chain links and sharply limit how far the wrists can move against each other.
• Nickel-Plated Steel — The steel body carries a bright nickel finish that resists corrosion and wipes clean.
• Ratchet Jaw — The toothed swinging arm, or jaw, clicks closed in steps so each cuff can be sized to the wrist.
• Double Locking — A secondary lock holds the jaw in place once set, so the cuff cannot ratchet tighter or loosen after it is applied.
• Shim-Resistant Pawl — A heavy-duty pawl assembly, the catch that engages the ratchet teeth, resists shimming, where a thin strip is slipped in to force the lock open.
• Built For Repeated Use — The pawl assembly is made to stand up to repeated opening and closing cycles.
• Two Universal Keys — Two universal-pattern handcuff keys come with the cuffs, and they also operate the double lock.

Build And Keys

The cuffs are nickel-plated steel throughout, with the triple hinge riveted between two steel side plates on each cuff. Universal-pattern keys follow the common standard used across most police-style handcuffs, so a spare key of that pattern will work with these. Both included keys arrive on a small ring.
