Chinese H&R Style Handcuffs


These Chinese “H&R Super” style double locking handcuffs manufactured for the Chinese government. These handcuffs are made in large and small sizes. These large ones open 6 1/2″ to 8 1/2″. Includes 2 keys and a nylon case with velcro closure.

Patented in 1934 by Harrington and Richardson, H&R Super handcuffs were given by the USA to the Chinese government to assist in its civil war with communist forces. When the communists won and they ran out of handcuffs, it is believed that they simply made copies, improving the lock design in the process. These handcuffs are still used by most Chinese law enforcement agencies today.

Clejuso Model 15 Heavy Weight Handcuffs

Clejuso Model 15 Heavy Weight Handcuffs. In a class by themselves, these are some of the thickest, heaviest handcuffs ever made. Ridiculously massive, these handcuffs are more of a collector’s item than a practical tool for law enforcement or corrections. I wouldn’t want to be knocked in the head with one of these bad boys. Finger activated double locks. Over 1 1/2 inches thick, weigh 47.7 ounces. Non-standard keys, 2 included.

MRI-Safe Grip Restraints

The Grip restraints are now available in MRI-safe versions. The standard buckles are made of stainless steel. The MRI safe versions use brass locking buckles and have eliminated all magnetic properties.

Standard metal handcuffs and restraints cannot be used when MRI tests are required on a prisoner. Generally, the transportation officer must un-restrain the prisoner when in the MRI machinery. This creates obvious safety concern for the officer, hospital staff, and general public. The new Grip MRI-safe restraints are the first safe and high security solution.

Hiatts Model 7082 Blue Box Cover for Chain Handcuffs

Cover for chain style handcuffs made of reinforced ABS and steel. Blue Box Transport Systems: Safe, strong and tough, Hiatt-Thompson Blue Box systems keep keyholes covered for top security during transport or detention. Double locks can be activated from outside of box. Accepts HIATTS as well as other N.I.J. certified handcuffs. Handcuffs not included. Weighs 4.6 ounces.

This easy to use prisoner transport box not only does everything the old black box could do, but also has these new patented features:

  • Handcuffs can be preloaded into box before being put on prisoner.
  • Box and handcuffs can be applied to the subject from the interrogation position (no more dangerous face to face confrontations).
  • The blue box’s patented double lock slots allow you to set the double locks after the prisoner is in the cuffs and the box is locked to the belly chain. (Some S&W models must be double locked first.)
  • The box can be used with all professional chain style handcuffs and can be used with the Hiatts “Big Brutus” chain style as well!
  • When used with the blue box, a standard set of handcuffs will limit the subject’s mobility, hide the keyholes, and provide greater safety for the transporting officer.
