Dear Richard, Thank you for your detective work. It smartens me up. Mike

Thank you Ian, We needed some humor to bring us back into balance. Mike

Richard also sold me a pair of leg irons. He sells good stuff. Mike

Hello, You have   a pair of what I think might be Towers.  Is that so? Are they double lock because I am wondering if the key is original since my Tower keys are different…

Hi, As a newbie, Ian has been completely helpful to me. I filed away his messages for sure. Now that I have seen his work, his words go into one of my "nota bene…

Dear Richard, I think S&W would be more discreet than clunky Towers. I have a pretty close neighbour who is teaching his girlfriend how to pick handcuffs "Just in case she might need…
