ASP Sentry Hinge Handcuffs 56500

Overview of the ASP Sentry Hinge Handcuffs 56500 Hinged Handcuffs | 56500

Built to control fast-moving encounters

ASP Sentry Hinge Handcuffs 56500 give you professional hinged handcuffs that keep subjects close and under control when things move quickly. The rigid, I-beam style stainless steel frame in a matte, bead blasted silver finish resists corrosion and stays low glare under streetlights or in the courtroom. You get serious strength without bulky, snag prone hardware, so these restraints ride comfortably in a pouch on your duty belt.

Smooth, predictable action every time

From the first swing, you feel the difference. The forged bow, precision roller bearing pivot, and smooth inner edges help the cuffs close cleanly around the wrist instead of catching or grinding. Flat contact areas spread out pressure, which helps reduce skin irritation and minor injury complaints. Dual keyways and double lock slots on both sides, visible in the images, let you secure and remove the cuffs from almost any angle. A single direction key turn releases the double lock and opens the bow, so you can safely loosen and lock for transport. With the 56500 model, you get many of ASP’s premium restraint features in a duty ready, value focused package trusted by officers, deputies, and security professionals.

Compatibility

ASP Sentry Hinge Handcuffs 56500 are designed for professional use on most adult wrist sizes typically encountered in law enforcement, corrections, and private security work. The overall profile fits most standard hinged handcuff pouches that accept ASP or similar professional hinged cuffs.

The dual sided keyways are intended to work with ASP handcuff keys and generally operate with most common duty handcuff keys used by agencies across the United States (assumed, high confidence). This makes it easy to integrate these cuffs into mixed fleets where officers already carry standard keys.

These restraints perform best in patrol, transport, and detention environments where close control and predictable handling are essential. They are not designed for juvenile subjects, medical restraint applications, or recreational use. Always follow your agency’s training, policies, and local laws when carrying and applying the 56500 model.

Security officers, loss prevention agents, and bounty hunters choose these cuffs for the balance of strength, smooth action, and cost. If you want a set of hinged handcuffs that can stand up to daily duty use without an inflated price tag, this 56500 model is aimed squarely at you.

Frequently Asked Questions about ASP Sentry Hinge Handcuffs 56500

Question 1: Are ASP Sentry Hinge Handcuffs 56500 good for everyday patrol carry?

Yes. These handcuffs were developed as everyday duty restraints. The stainless I-beam frame, matte bead blasted finish, and hinged configuration all support frequent application, searching, and transport on patrol, in corrections, or in private security.

Question 2: Do the cuffs arrive with a key?

Each set of ASP Sentry Hinge Handcuffs 56500 includes one ASP duty key with a built in double lock pin, shown in the product images. Many officers still carry their own backup keys, so you may want to add extras to your gear bag.

Question 3: Will these cuffs work with my department’s standard handcuff keys?

The dual sided keyways are designed around ASP and common law enforcement key patterns, so they should operate with most standard duty keys (assumed, high confidence). Always test your issued keys on new restraints during setup to be sure.

Question 4: How do I prevent rust or wear on these handcuffs?

The stainless steel construction and bead blasted finish offer strong resistance to rust, but you should still wipe the cuffs dry after wet or dirty calls. Periodically apply a small amount of light oil to the lock and pivot points and inspect for damage per your agency schedule.

Question 5: How do Sentry Hinge Handcuffs compare to ASP Ultra Cuffs?

Sentry Hinge Handcuffs share many operational traits with Ultra Cuffs, including smooth bow action, dual keyways, and efficient double locking. Ultra Cuffs add additional premium materials and design features, while the Sentry 56500 focuses on delivering essential professional performance at an accessible price for agencies, academies, and individual officers.
