Handcuffs are an essential piece of law enforcement equipment, but they are useless without a suitable key. Given the anti-picking technology present in modern handcuffs, a dedicated handcuff key is the only way to lock and unlock them. Our collection includes handcuff keys from reputable law enforcement gear manufacturers including Zak Tools, Peerless and CTS Thompson.
Handcuff keys almost always feature a key head and a pin, allowing you to operate the double locking mechanisms found on standard handcuffs to prevent them from over-tightening. They can also be made of a variety of materials, typically chosen for strength and durability. Steel and aluminum are both common, as are non-metallic materials such as high-strength polymers and carbon fiber.
Several styles of handcuff key are available. The simplest are just standard keys, often equipped with a flat handle to provide a more secure grip. Swivel keys feature a rotating head and are easier to turn, making them more convenient to use. They often come with a knurled grip surface that provides a more secure hold. Handcuff keys may also be disguised as other objects for undercover use, including belt keepers and pens. Some designs also combine a handcuff key with another piece of equipment such as a window punch.
Handcuff keys can be carried in a variety of ways. Often, they are simply worn on a keyring or in a keyholder. Many styles are equipped with a pocket clip for attachment to clothing, particularly swivel keys. Some are also compatible with lanyards, making them easy to wear around the neck out of sight.
