The new Model 700C says "The classic design is new and improved. Our most popular design now features an improved internal lock mechanism for increased tamper resistance." Does anyone know what they actually did and what real-world impact it has?

From what I understand the 700b was the improved lock and the 700c was same new improved lock just not as stiff as the 700b

I do not have any insight to help answer your question. But, I can suggest contacting Peerless through their website. They are very informative and attentive to the people who have questions pertaining to thier products, past and present. I have sent them a few different emails on questions I had of previous models and serial numbers. They have returned my email within a day or two and have always supplied me with the information that was needed. Peerless is a great company for customer service!

mtht, why not pull one apart and inform us all. It's cheap knowledge at the cost of handcuffs now days. when you do, take photos also.

Thank you for the recommendation to contact them directly. I assumed they would not tell what is better but... they did.

"The "C" series locks have a more robust spring in them, solves a problem where it was possible to over rotate the key and jam the lock, and make the cuff more difficult to pick. It's a subtle design change but improves the lock."

Thanks. Yes this seems to be resolved with the "C" models. I specifically asked them afterwards, citing examples of people saying they were sick of cuffs getting stuck all the time during training and guys saying "We don't use Peerless in our department because of stuck cuffs." etc and they said it will resolve that issue. So I recommended they be more transparent because I avoided buying peerless because of that... I only bought them so that I have a pair of peerless. I lucked out and got a C model.

their statement ""The "C" series locks have a more robust spring in them, solves a problem where it was possible to over rotate the key and jam the lock, and make the cuff more difficult to pick. It's a subtle design change but improves the lock."

sounds like they have had a major design and manufacturing error in the first place, if the key could rotate too far and jam. I am guessing instead of making a new pawl to the correct required size, they have opted to use a spring with either a thicker wire or more helix's so when compressed becomes solid mass and stops the over lift problem.

This is a certainly a stuff up and the spin is to say ‘improvement’ instead of saying ‘changes to fix error’ At least they were honest enough to admit the problem in the same sentence.

Very possibly. I had not looked at it like that. I would say that is actually likely, given all the complaints I have seen from people saying peerless jam/get stuck too much. Now they won't. Glad I got a C revision...
