The first recorded use of handcuffs dates back to the 16th century in Europe, although restraining devices have been used in various forms for centuries prior. The modern design of handcuffs began to take shape in the late 19th century with the invention of the key-operated, double-locking mechanism. Handcuffs were primarily developed for law enforcement to securely restrain individuals during arrests and transport.
