Re Chinese Police Handcuffs

Given the peekaboo keyhole feature on Chinese handcuffs, can a cuffed prisoner with the key still access the keyholes and unlock himself?

Are you referring to the plates that screw down over the keyways?

Or perhaps the '80s Devo song?

I think she means the keyhole through the swivels......H&R style copies.....

If this, there is no problem to unlock yourself with key

These cuffs looked like they posed a formidable escape challenge when I first bought them, though I soon discovered that a heavy gauge Sno-Cone straw would open them, even when double locked.

Perhaps some stronger springs would make them more secure.

I bet Hiatts/TCH Peerless and S&W are loving the 'quality' copies being churned out.

LOL! So true. Reminds me of when we were kids and they had those Spanish made Peerless clones that were so easy to pick, shim or even bend out of shape if one was fairly strong.

Luckily, I won the H&R Super clones on auction and paid next to nothing for them, as that is about what they're worth in my opinion.

Yes, the keyholes through the swivels. Can do?

No problem! Even easier than with hinged handcuffs

Jason et al,
I took a pair of the H&R style cuffs apart, tightened the spring and the lock would not function properly. I had to adjust them back to the factory tension for them to work and it is a design flaw as it doesn't take much to remove the double lock, and to retract the paw. I've used tooth picks to open these locks...

Dorson:

My bad; I had forgotten that you mentioned having dissected the H&R copies in this thread. The original H&R cuffs utilizing a pawl rather than the star cog were actually a better design after all. The internal workings on the clones are actually so loose that I was able to disengage the double lock with no tools whatsoever. The heavy duty linkage is wasted on these cuffs. A total redesign is in order.

Jason
