KEL-MET - Hinged handcuffs KM 2500 - Steel - Double Lock

The unique advantage of KM 2500 hinged handcuffs is that they combine the features of typical hinged handcuffs and rigid handcuffs, without the additional keys and latches for locking the hinges.

The unique solution is to use a single-sided hinge so that they can be folded like regular chain handcuffs and hidden in a typical holster. At the same time, they open to only 180ᵒ, which causes the detainee to have very limited freedom of movement and the officer can safely grasp the middle of the handcuffs and lead without touching detainees, just as in rigid handcuffs. The condition is one - the stiff part of the outside and the hinge part to the stop. Thanks to this natural limitation of the hinge movement are the forearms of the delicacy itself. An additional advantage of such handcuffs is that the keyhole holes are on the retracted side and its hands project on the side without holes. Thanks to this person so constrained cannot access the holes and even having the original key is unable to open these handcuffs.
