Frequently Asked Questions

What types of Peerless restraints are available at LA Police Gear?

This Peerless Handcuff Company category includes professional restraint options such as chain link handcuffs, hinged handcuffs, oversize handcuffs, leg irons, waist chains, color-plated restraints, and related metallic restraint accessories.

Are Peerless handcuffs used by law enforcement?

Yes. Peerless restraints are used by law enforcement, corrections, military, and security agencies in the United States and abroad. The brand has been associated with professional restraint equipment since 1914.

What is the difference between chain and hinged handcuffs?

Chain handcuffs use a short chain between the cuffs and are a common general-duty option. Hinged handcuffs connect the cuffs with a hinge, which can provide more control during restraint and close-contact handling.

Do Peerless restraints have a warranty?

Peerless products are backed by a lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects. Warranty coverage applies to manufacturer defects rather than normal wear, misuse, or policy-related replacement needs.

How should I choose the right Peerless restraint for duty use?

Choose based on the assignment, carry method, and agency policy. Chain cuffs are common for patrol, hinged cuffs may be preferred when added control is needed, and leg irons or waist chains are typically used for custody and transport applications.
