Wow if the key broke it may have been a cheapo key. Be careful with after-market keys. I think Savage Island is a cheapo but anything by Zak Tool is excellent. The rigid cuffs with keyholes on both sides are TCH 842. Not a fan of them personally. Less secure and the secondary set of keyholes exposes more of the mechanism which can make it easier to shove crude items inside. I had to return a pair of 842 to TCH for repair because the spring went bad. Maybe it was a fluke, but now I am not a fan. I have only 1 pair with twin keyways and only because it was cheap (I sold my 842 soon as they came back from the manufacturer repaired.)

@@henryroberts9287 If you are police, you might want to find my video on here on the TOOOL ultimate handcuff key. You can make them from a TCH key but the best, nicest are made from Smith & Wesson cuff keys. Also you can modify any ZAK Tool key also to make one. Handy to have. Not as your daily driver key, because it can be a bit fiddly to unlock triple pawl cuffs like TCH but it will undo them and a vast array of other cuffs. Could come in handy to free hostages who have been secured with odd-ball handcuffs, free people from bedroom hishaps etc. I'm not police but having seen endless moronic prank videos and having a somewhat large collection of over 100 handcuffs from around the world, I always have a TOOOL key on me in case someone put on a pair of cuffs from my collection or someone were to try and prank me. Out of my 106 pairs, that key works on over 70% of all pairs. But if you only look at ones with a standard looking keyway it works on 100%. On the video I mentioned about the TOOOL key and compatibilities, I show examples of how "standard" keys do not always fit all cuffs and go over several brands and try using their key in the others in a select few to illustrate. Worth the watch.
Thank you that you explained the differences very precisely, at the handcuff modells.
Thanks for the video
Great vid
Thanks
Thank you for the video my force just gave a mate a new pair after a key broke inside LOL with a key hole on both sides
