Sci-fi cuff re-design
July 1st, 2025 | 
Author: I had a thought this weekend: What if I made the cuffs a better match to the existing Signalis-inspired stun prod?
What kind of handcuff would be carried by security Replikas? I came up with some details that re-use elements already present in the stun-prod, such as the Bakelite shell and diodes (there might be too many diodes)… Someone did ask if those would feature a time lock function and with this many indicators, it is almost too good of an idea to pass…
I could also get rid of the hex bolt at the center and have a central keyhole there instead because I suspect people might expect the two keyholes to imply dual-custody, and I’m not really convinced by that idea…

Security Replikas? Hmmm, that’s something from your narrative I haven’t heard before (Actually, I haven’t heard much about how you RP).
Real cuffs have separate keys for each cuff. The only time I’ve seen an ADDITIONAL central key was for a set of folding cuffs that could lock open.
OTOH, you could replace the hex with an additional ring for chaining to a collar or overhead.
Oh, that’s not part of MY lore, but that’s something from Signalis ^^. I agree, cuffs usually have two locks, I’m just trying to cover my bases.
Although if one were to lock the cuffs individually, that would require programming the state where one cuff is locked and the other isn’t. That would be a PITA.
