American Handcuff N-500 Handcuffs

These hinged cuffs are similar in shape to the American Handcuff N-100 Handcuffs chain variety except that they are joined by three pivot-anchored BARS which serve as a hinge. Motion is limited to one plane. If the cuffs are correctly applied (with the keyhole facing AWAY from the hands) it is unlikely that a prisoner could escape them, even with a key!

These have been discontinued recently (1999) in favor of the American Handcuff N-520 Handcuffs.
