The AHK3 is mild steel with a phosphate coating and unlike the polymer handcuff keys it will bend and not break.

When under stress it is easy to apply excess torque when turning a key.

Handcuffs only require slight pressure with a key to push down the pawl and disengage the ratchet to unlock. For some handcuffs it will work just like a key and on others you have to alter the depth and angle whilst feeling for working parts. Some handcuffs feature anti/counter shim features in their design or they can be double locked (also known as transport lock) this can make shimming difficult so using a key is often the quickest and easiest method to remove handcuffs.Ī universal handcuff may work on some handcuffs but if there are anti/counter shim features present it is likely that a special key will also be required.Īlso known as the Delta Key the AHK3 is the latest generation of handcuff key designed to counter the security features found on high security handcuffs such as a key blocking blade, large key-way pin and deep set key-way. In the event that shimming does not work it is possible that the handcuffs are either double-locked or have security features to prevent shimming. Only do this if the shim is moving between the ratchet and pawls (teeth) otherwise you risk over-tightening the handcuffs. Tip: Do not force the shim as you will bend it! Always start shimming where the ratchet arm enters, there should be a small gap, insert the tip of the shim and at the same time slightly push in the ratchet arm to assist (push assist). So unlike spring steel the Uber Shim will not easily snap when bent so it is possible to reshape and straighten.
