I don't think you need to be a locksmith to be an escape artist. Would love to see our local locksmith escape from being handcuffed and locked in a trunk while submerged in a tank of water, sure DB, Omikron, Mr. Picks, and may be Shrub might be able to do it, but I doubt most others could :)

Interesting... I wonder who would waste their time doing this?

Now a simple matter of revenge for an insult I could understand, but I don't see a motive to attack the member MUTZY.

Perhaps a dispute happening behind closed doors?

Then again, I guess a motiveless attack is illogically logical.

Well banned now anyway... :)

I like to contribute to things arrest related... many years in security, high profile, executive protection etc etc etc.

whenever I handcuffed someone, I did a number of things. In order, they were:

A) double lock the handcuffs
B) thoroughly search the subject, remove anything metalic, anything that might be reachable from the cuffed position
C) put a cuff-wrap over the cuffs. This successfully conceals the keyways, prevents pinching, and with it's amazing amount of velcro-like material, lets me know if anyones messing with my cuffs.

for the record, I used both Peerless and SW, and had access to the Peerless High Security cuffs.

my prisoners were always in sight of me, and I never had any issues with someone releiving themselves of their captivity.
keys, we don't need no stinking keys!

shims are very easy to get all you need are some box staples and a hammer.

Wow, great photos! Although, I know that it does not cover every type, the photographs show amazingly clear the basic principles.

I had found something on handcuffs before, but never really understood it, as it tried to explain using primarily description, and I believe a few sketches.
Great info, thank you.

I just used a piece from a broken tape measure for a shim for my cuffs. , works well on those and a few things i might get in trouble for if i mention them here... (only reason for doing it would be theiving)

and since tape-measures are everywhere they can be quickly made... if need be.
