FAQ
Q: 1. Can handcuffs be used as leg irons? Or vice versa?
A: Technically possible, but extremely irregular and dangerous, and strictly prohibited in formal law enforcement.
• Handcuffs on the ankle: The size and curvature of the handcuff rings are unsuitable for the ankle, making them prone to slipping and rotating, causing abrasions or accidental dislodgement. The chains are too long and cannot effectively restrict movement.
• Leg irons on the wrist: Leg irons that are too heavy and tight will severely compress the nerves and blood vessels in the wrist, causing rapid injury. Short chains force the hands to be pressed tightly together, causing great discomfort and risk.
Both are specialized tools and should not be used interchangeably.
Q: 2. Why is it sometimes necessary to rotate the key in the reverse direction at a certain angle when opening a double lock?
A: This is a precise manifestation of the double-lock mechanism. Rotating the key forward unlocks the lock; when the double-lock function is activated (i.e., the ratchet is locked), an additional locking pin inside the lock cylinder jams the mechanism. At this point, the key needs to be slightly rotated in the reverse direction (usually accompanied by a soft click) to release this locking pin before continuing to rotate it forward to complete the unlocking process. This design significantly increases the difficulty of technically unlocking the lock.
