I have a JUDD cuff I have been working on for awhile; I studied the diagram from “Handcuffs, U.S. Vol.1” page 42.
I have a replica key {from CannonÂ’s Great Escapes}to open them.
Dick Norman’s book “Modern Handcuff Secrets For Magicians” page 83 states “Keys are easily stripped if the cuff is not fully understood” I believe Him, I sweated bullets the first time I turned the key {this key is not cheap}
One quarter turn counter clockwise unlocks and primes the lock in the open position.
At this point I remove the key.I am afraid to go any further [the cuff opened why press my luck] My question is can the key rotate any further without damaging it or the cuff.

Keep rotating it past the open position after the cuff is indeed open and you will have a useless tube in place of an expensive key.
