Hi guys and gals,
I was wondering what the best ways of opening handcuffs and locks are. I don't mean how to unlock them, I mean how to open the actual lock case so you can work on the inner workings of the thing. If you can give me any pointers or know of any books that I can learn from that would be great. I have never tried to open up either a pair of cuffs or a lock before so I'd need something that started at the very beginning, including what tools are required for the job. If you feel this type of info is not suitable for an open forum please PM or email me roslynwalker@aol.com Many thanks, Ros

Ian does have great diagrams- he has shared some with me as well and they were very helpful. (Even how he makes them is quite creative!) If you want a collection of his drawings which are very helpful, get his book "Advanced Handcuff Manipulation". It'll save you from tearing apart a bunch of cuffs if you just want to understand how they work. For those interested in altering what they find inside the cuffs, his book "Gimmicked Handcuffs and Restraints" is very helpful. (Nope, I get nothing for these suggestions- I seek only to share good resources.)

I can only imagine how good they are Clyde. I must agree that he has always sent me very informative stuff. As soon as I am able to, I will buy these books.
