Universal Handcuff Key Replacement

[Solarbeast]

I have always liked metal police-issued handcuffs better than any other handcuff type. I have also always used a 3-4 inch universal handcuff key to double lock and unlock the cuffs while I wear them, which is easier for me than the small ones that come with the handcuffs. Over the years I have tried to get the same key again but each time they either have sent a different one or the double lock part of the key breaks, so this is me asking if anyone has a tried and true universal handcuff key that they like and would recommend me.

This is the universal handcuff key that I use: https://www.handcuffwarehouse.com/zak-t ... ndcuff-key

Zak Tool is the brand, and this is the “extra long” (5 inch) swivel version. I specifically got this one so I can easily uncuff my hands from behind my back from a pair of handcuffs which have been modified with one link instead of two between the cuffs. That’s trivial to do with this key.

Also, it’s made of heat-treated stainless steel…so you don’t have to worry about the key breaking anywhere.

I should mention hat most of my cuffs are Smith & Wesson (M100, M100-1, M103, M103-1, M1, M1800), but I also have another set of connected wrist/leg cuffs from either Thompson or Chicago. This key fits perfectly in all these models with no issue.

I buy most of my handcuffs and related gear (e.g., leg cuffs, waist chains, handcuff keys) from Handcuff Warehouse, and haven’t been disappointed with the quality of their stuff, the ordering process, or what I’ve received.

Highly recommend both Zak Tool and Handcuff Warehouse.

I use the same one. No issues.

This is why I want to buy and learn how to use a lock picking kit. That would be a fun challenge eventually…

Okay, thanks for the key recommendation. I haven't been consistent with getting things from handcuff warehouse, but I guess I have a reason to be consistent soon. Unfortunately at the moment, I'm dealing with income issues with my job as they are screwing all the part-timers with almost no hours, so once that gets fixed I'll be able to test out the key.
