Handcuffs - 12/12/2008 6:07:37 AM

This is story from Michigan:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081212/ap_on_fe_st/odd_chains_of_love

I guess this is a lesson to always keep the keys to the handcuffs close by so you can get your partner out of them. I bet medical personell and police are used to these situations.

Does anybody have a similar story to share?

An ex-girlfriend called one evening and explained that her daughter had cuffed a friend to the bedframe with her new husband's cuffs that were in a drawer that the daughter had no business in... no key. After a few minutes of talking about what tools he had in the garage, he released the friend with a staple from a staple gun that I told him how to bend. She knew I would know what to do ;-)

Many many stories never make the news.... thank goodness! I keep a big pair of bolt cutters around, just in case. Used them once when a lock my wife was wearing refused to open.

My first hubby and I use to woo each other in a camper on my parents property. Thinking he could outsmart me, my father put a lock on it.

Taking a bobby pin, I popped that lock in 2 seconds and we continued our wooing for a few more months until we finally got married (as a result of the said wooing).

This is a good memory since my father passed on last year and the hubby a few years beforehand.

Rule #1, always carry a spare set of keys!!!
The cheaper handcuffs found in many Adult stores do not necessary have the same key as the better quality local law enforcemen officials. So best to keep a spare set in a different location in case of emergencies

So, rule # 2 is, pay for the GOOD handcuffs.
then you can buy all the spare keys you want. Do not play without laying the keys out where you can see them (no just 'knowing' they are in the drawer - put your hands on them), and have a spare on your keychain.
And, again - spring for the good stuff. It's sexier. really.

I have been on a call that semi-related to the lifestyle. We got into th back room and found a man in a batman mask and cape with a ziptie stuck around his appendage and his wife tied to the bed and gagged dressed as the pink power ranger. Needless to say, he had tried everything to get it off to no avail, we had to use a ring cutter to get it off. One of those odd calls we end up running on.

And also run an attempted suicide call at a pro-dommes house. Was definitely funny seeing some of the bewildered looks from the medic crew at all the furniture and toys everywhere. (person was perfectly fine btw, false alarm)

I'll second that. I have found the coiled card keepers that casinos give away for rewards cards are a excellent way to keep track of a emergency key.

Rule #3

If it's hinged cuffs make sure the keyhole is facing towards your hands, unless you have the use of another pair of hands or are good at turning keys with your teeth.

Oh, and Rule #4 with handcuffs, ALWAYS double lock handcuffs, leg irons, waist chains gang chains, and handcuff type collars.

*edited for spelling*

I agree, Lynnxz, Nervegas's story was ROTFL funny.

Double locking is a rule (should be a law though) because if not double locked, the cuffs can tighten if pressed on or knocked about. Double locking prevents the cuffs from tightening further than that set point. This is very important because the delicate structures of wrists (and ankles to a somewhat larger degree and an absolute with cuff collars) can be hurt if they're tightened too much. Tendons, nerves, veins (and airways) tend to like being able to flow and don't take to well to very high localized (our case, 1/2") pressures. A properly tightened handcuff allows a arresting officer ( or Dom[me]) to slip a fingertip between the cuff and the wrist on the palmar surface. Legirons are properly secured if the cuff still has a little room when the foot is flexed upwards. A handcuff collar should have minimally enough room for a couple fingers between the neck and the collar. Cuffs should always be double locked even when it does not have an appendage in it, but being used in human restraint, such as a gang chain connecting handcuffs together or connecting the other end of the cuffs to a bedpost. It's just a good habit to get into.

Another note on keys... Some brand cuff keys don't always work on all brand cuffs, and some have slight manufacturing defects that won't allow all of your keys to work on all of your cuffs. Test all keys in all of your cuffs, and discard any that don't work in all of them. This is why I use a high quality 'aftermarket' key, because it works in all of my NIJ keyed handcuffs. That and it has LED lights on it so I can see in the toybag when it's dark rooting for the *really* wicked nipple clamps or finding the keyholes.

Ok...I'll get off my soapbox now. I have lots more info if you want it.

Luckily no, just a somewhat startling observation when I received my first pair of hinged handcuffs and tried them out. It's quite true if you make the mistake of putting them on 'upside down', you're really stuck if no one else is around...Plus, there's no connecting chain on the hinged models to cut though...

That's interesting. I've owned combinations of various Lionheart, Fury, and Chicago handcuffs and have never had a key issue of any kind. Never even so much as a broken or damaged key. I believe the key on my car keyring is a Fury key and a friend of mine who's a deputy sheriff tested it on his Peerless cuffs and it works fine. I've not yet tried the other brands like S&W and Hiatt though.

Edited for grammar...

It's mostly the British Hiatt keys that have trouble going to US made cuffs, as the bit is sometimes a shad longer than the Peerless or S&W standard.
