There’s not much to elaborate. The product is very solidly made, and its weight attests to its sturdiness. It’s a pity they were sent in ordinary plastic rather than better packaging, but that’s a minor detail. There might be small scratches on the outside, but it doesn’t matter. I definitely recommend it, best regards.

Kel-Met hinged handcuffs
Kel-Met hinged handcuffs are designed for use by law enforcement agencies such as the Police and Border Guard, especially in situations where effective restraint of a detainee is necessary. Their unique construction offers the benefits of both traditional hinged and rigid models—compact for transport yet providing complete control over the restrained person.
stainless steel construction
Crafted from stainless steel in accordance with PN-EN 10088-1, the material is non-toxic, resists mechanical damage, and does not trigger allergic reactions. Lack of galvanic coatings like nickel or zinc complies with EU Directive 76/769/EEC-94/27/EEC and upcoming national rules for products in contact with the skin.
Structure and operating mechanism
The model consists of two symmetrical cuffs connected by a single-sided hinge. The construction allows for full 180-degree extension, effectively restricting the detainee’s movement and enabling control without physical contact. Wide wrist openings respond to needs reported by Polish uniformed services.
The locking system is based on a double-pawl mechanism with a movable ratchet arm. Both cuffs are equipped with a ratchet lock that allows locking the mechanism in any position, preventing excessive tightening and accidental opening. The lock is activated by pressing the pin in the key, and released by turning it. The cuff shape reduces the risk of abrasions and injuries with proper use.
Ergonomics and safety
The hinge enables the handcuffs to fold in a manner similar to chain models, making them more convenient to carry in a standard holster. When extended completely to 180 degrees, they act as rigid cuffs, ensuring effective immobilization. Properly worn with the hinge positioned externally, they restrict movement by making contact with the forearm. The keyholes are positioned on the inner side, which obstructs access and prevents the detainee from self-releasing.
Strength requirements
The design complies with the standards for static forces:
- breaking force of 2300 N – exerted in the plane of one cuff while the other cuff is fixed in place. Once the force is lifted, the product remains fully functional.
- bending force of 500 N – the cuff is attached on the hinge side, and the force is exerted perpendicularly at the opposite end. No lasting deformation is present.

I know it's a great product, but mine arrived in plastic wrapping and were heavily scratched. I expected new and good-looking handcuffs, but I got something that looked already used. For those interested—just some information, because overall I recommend it, it works as it should and is well made. I also checked the details with the manufacturer and these handcuffs are considered some of the best, distinguished by their quality workmanship. I rate the purchase positively, although I was hoping for packaging, especially considering the price.

I wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone working in uniformed services. The product greatly facilitates and speeds up daily work. It operates exceptionally smoothly. The transport lock works very well. The handcuffs easily fit even larger wrists without squeezing too much. The hinge is strong and only allows use in one direction, which makes it easier to quickly put on the second cuff without stress. Great job by the manufacturer! Thanks to Kel-Met for making work easier and to Militaria.pl for the opportunity to purchase. It’s worth getting a good holster, which makes carrying and quick use easier, and a retractor—so you don’t lose the key. For me, this whole set works great, just like in the photo!
