Most handcuffs come with two metal handcuff keys. These keys are perfect for locking handcuffs, but what about when you need a more covert option?
It may seem to the outsider that a handcuff key that can pass through a metal detector is prima facie evidence of the bearer’s intent to commit a crime. But the choice to carry a handcuff key is completely logical when you consider all the reasons why you may need one.
Handcuff keys made from a strong polymer have a leg up on metal keys for several reasons:
They draw less attention.
Particularly if they have a matte finish. They won’t reflect light and potentially draw the eye the way a metal key will.
They are lighter than metal keys.
The best everyday carry items don’t weigh you down.
They won’t set off a metal detector.
This is useful for people whose work or travels take them through metal detectors often, but who feel more comfortable not removing or disclosing their gear with every check point. As always, we recommend that you comply with your local laws.
