About
SAF-LOK™ handcuffs are manufactured at our Lithgow light engineering facility and are currently in service with Australian law enforcement agencies.
SAF-LOK™ Mk5 handcuffs are an enhanced version of the SAF-LOK™ Mk4 handcuff. The hinge design provides for a semi-rigid handcuff permitting restricted movement of the subject’s hands in one direction only. Restricted movement means less likelihood of the subject inflicting self-injury. The design of the handcuff provides a convenient grip for the law enforcement officer to effectively gain control of an unruly subject. Even if the handcuff ratchet arm is sawn through, the ratchet will stay in position until unlocked. The body of the handcuff is manufactured from cast, high-grade stainless steel and it also serves as the body of the lock making it a very unique design. The arm, links and link pins are also manufactured from stainless steel.
