Constructed from stainless steel with a hinged frame, a double lock mechanism, and two included keys, these handcuffs are offered as a single standard configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHinged Frame for Greater Control\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hinged design of the Rothco Stainless Steel Hinged Handcuffs limits wrist rotation more effectively than chain-link handcuffs, giving officers and security personnel a higher degree of physical control during restraint. That added rigidity is particularly relevant in high-risk situations where a subject's range of motion needs to be minimized from the moment cuffs are applied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDouble Lock Mechanism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe double lock mechanism on the Rothco Stainless Steel Hinged Handcuffs prevents the ratchet from tightening further once the cuffs are locked. This protects the restrained individual from injury caused by over-tightening and reduces the risk of a subject working the cuffs tighter as a manipulation tactic. Activating the double lock is a standard step in professional restraint procedure, and the mechanism here is designed to support that workflow without additional tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNIJ Standard 0307.01 Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese handcuffs meet NIJ Standard 0307.01, the national benchmark for law enforcement restraint devices covering strength, security, and operational reliability.

The Rothco Stainless Steel Hinged Handcuffs are approved to that standard, providing officers and agencies a verifiable reference point when documenting the performance standards of their equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eHow does the hinged design differ from chain handcuffs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eUnlike chain-link handcuffs, which allow the two cuff rings to rotate and swing relative to each other, the Rothco Stainless Steel Hinged Handcuffs use a rigid hinge that limits wrist rotation. This gives the officer greater control over a subject's hand position and reduces the subject's ability to maneuver once restrained, which is particularly relevant in high-risk situations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eHow does the double lock mechanism work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eOnce the Rothco Stainless Steel Hinged Handcuffs are applied and locked, the double lock mechanism can be engaged to prevent the ratchet from tightening further. This protects the restrained individual from injury caused by over-tightening and is a standard step in professional restraint procedure. The double lock does not release the cuffs; a key is still required to open them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eHow many keys are included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eEach pair of Rothco Stainless Steel Hinged Handcuffs includes two keys, providing a backup in the event one is misplaced.
