The Smith & Wesson Hinged Handcuffs are double-locking restraints made in the USA, meeting NILECJ and NIJ specifications. Finished in black with a hinged design, they measure 8.13 inches in length and weigh 10 oz. Each unit is stamped with a serial number and model number and operates with a standard handcuff key.
Built for Reliable Restraint
The hinged construction limits wrist rotation more than chain-link cuffs, giving officers and security professionals a greater degree of control during transport and detention. The rigid hinge keeps the cuff geometry predictable, which can simplify application under stress.
Double-Lock Security
The double lock slot prevents the ratchet from tightening further once engaged, protecting the subject from injury and reducing liability risk. Activating the double lock also prevents tampering, since the cuffs cannot be ratcheted open without the key once the secondary lock is set.
Traceable and Standardized
Every pair is individually stamped with a serial number and model number, supporting chain-of-custody documentation. The standard key format means these cuffs are compatible with the same key carried by most law enforcement and security personnel, avoiding the need for a proprietary tool.
