Kel-Met KM4000 leg cuffs
Chain leg cuffs serve as protective gear predominantly utilized by law enforcement agencies like the Police and Border Guard, as well as during interventions that require effective immobilization. These cuffs enable the secure restraint of an individual's legs, minimizing the chance of escape and aiding in control during transport or escort. They incorporate wide ankle openings, aligning with the specifications provided by Polish uniformed services.
Stainless steel construction
Made entirely of stainless steel compliant with PN-EN 10088-1. The material is non-toxic, resistant to mechanical damage, and does not cause allergic reactions. The absence of galvanic coatings such as nickel or zinc ensures compliance with EU Directive 76/769/EEC-94/27/EEC on products in contact with the skin and with planned national regulations.
Construction and operating mechanism
The set consists of two ankle cuffs connected by a 45 cm chainmail-type chain, attached to the cuffs using rotating joints. The cuff design minimizes the risk of abrasions and injuries during proper use.
The cuffs are made of steel components with a double-locking mechanism and a movable ratchet arm. Each cuff includes a ratchet lock that can be set at any position to prevent excessive tightening. Protection against accidental opening is activated by a pin located on the key. Pressing the pin engages the lock, and turning the key in the lock releases it.
Strength requirements
The handcuffs withstand the application of static force:
- breaking force of 1500 N – applied in the plane of one cuff while the other is fixed. After the force is removed, the cuffs retain full functionality.
- bending force of 500 N – applied perpendicularly to the plane of the cuff on the side opposite the attachment point, without permanent deformation.
Standards and certifications
Kel-Met handcuffs adhere to the following standards:
- PN-EN 10088-1 – a standard that outlines the chemical and mechanical characteristics of stainless steel.
- 76/769/EEC-94/27/EEC – an EU directive that restricts the use of heavy metals in products in contact with skin; features without nickel or zinc coatings.
- KGP Standard – aligns with the specifications set by the Polish Police Headquarters concerning design, operational functionality, and safety.
