To unlock standard handcuffs, simply Insert the handcuff key and turn it counter-clockwise, as this disengages the double locking bar or you can use a paperclip, bobby pin or other metal object to act like a key by bending it a similar length to a standard handcuff key. An easy method to use a paperclip is by opening the clip, sticking one end all the way into the lock, and bending it long ways to make a short-looking L.

Wash ropes on the shortest, gentlest, cycle possible using cold water, and a small amount of Rope Soap or a delicates/lingerie wash. And remove excess water after washing to reduce drying time. Finally, all ropes should be kept clean and dry, stored in a ventilated and dry (not humid) place, out of direct sunlight.
