That might be a great idea for Magic Chain Escape trick you could use someones lock so not to be suspect the lock is tricked or think you have a key. You could get the link open behind your back and slip that locking link into you back pocket. Then give out the chain and lock for inspection.

If you are interested in studying handcuffs, I highly recommend buying the single cuff with transparent side allowing a view of the internals. By far the best price is at Handcuff Warehouse ($9.95) and their shipping is very reasonable. You can buy the matching cuffs for around $16 although importing might be a problem.

The single cuff has a double lock feature and double pawl mechanism for more difficulty in shimming.

I read a book about some spetacular robbery in england where such a link was used to make a chained gate on heathrow airport into an escape route.
just cant remember the particulars.
