Kel-Met Handcuffs on arms and legs
Kel-Met hand and leg cuffs are intended for use by uniformed services such as the police or border guard, as well as during interventions that require effective restriction of movement. They serve to immobilize individuals in a way that ensures the safety of both officers and detainees. Frequently used during transport or in detention situations.
Stainless steel construction
The construction is made entirely of stainless steel compliant with the PN-EN 10088-1 standard. This material is non-toxic to the body, highly resistant to mechanical damage, and does not cause allergic reactions. The absence of galvanic coatings such as nickel or zinc meets the requirements of EU Directive 76/769/EEC-94/27/EEC regarding products intended for skin contact, as well as planned national regulations.
Design and mechanism
The set includes hand cuffs connected by a 4 cm chain, leg cuffs joined by a 42 cm chain, and a 90 cm chain that links both parts. All armor-type chains are mounted using rotating connectors. The shape of the cuffs is designed to minimize the risk of abrasions and injuries when used as intended.
The cuffs are made of steel components with a double-pawl mechanism and a movable ratchet arm. Each cuff includes a ratchet lock that can be engaged at any position to prevent excessive tightening. Protection against accidental opening is activated by a pin located in the key. Pressing the pin activates the lock, and turning the key releases it.
Strength requirements
The cuffs meet the following strength standards:
- breaking force of 2300 N – the force acts in the plane of one clamp while the other is immobilized. After the force is removed, the device retains full functionality.
- bending force of 500 N – the clamp is mounted on the chain side; the force is applied perpendicularly to the clamp’s plane at the end opposite the attachment point. The clamp does not undergo permanent deformation.
