Product Overview
Adjustable fit and accessible double locking are central to these Smith & Wesson Handcuffs, offered by Rothco. This police-issue carbon steel design provides 23 locking positions, with a double-lock slot on each side and operation using a standard handcuff key. Made in the USA, they belong in the public safety equipment category rather than among costume restraints.
Adjustable restraint with double-lock access
The range of locking positions allows the cuffs to close in increments instead of relying on a single fixed opening. For purchasing purposes, the internal measurements below are more useful than the overall length alone: they show the available opening and adjustment range so you can assess fit before choosing your equipment.
Double locking is an important feature of this type of restraint because it prevents the cuff from ratcheting tighter once the double lock is engaged. Having a double-lock slot on both sides provides access from either side of the cuff. Standard-key operation is also useful when selecting equipment for an existing public safety setup.
Construction and stated standards
Carbon steel forms the cuff construction. The supplied product specifications state that these handcuffs pass NILEC and NIJ specifications, including U.S. National Institute of Justice tests covering workmanship, strength, corrosion resistance, and tamper resistance. Those stated standards provide a more meaningful point of comparison than appearance alone.
