Yes.Each cuff is an independent ring, so each requires a separate locking mechanism to open and close. The same key is used on both cuffs.
Wait, so you are saying that there is a lock for each cuff, not one lock that opens both sides? These would be real handcuffs, military issued, not for kinky play
Cuffs meant for kinky play also have the same thing - a separate lock for each sides. However, those also usually come with a latch and can be easily removed if you have rather deft fingers (even when cuffed overhead and around a headboard).
You seem to know an awful lot about that sort of handcuff.
Re. police handcuffs, what the others said. How could any locking mechanism even work for both sides, since they're attached by a chain? There would need to be some sort of mechanical link between the two for one lock to open both.
Though many do use the real ones for kinky play without the quick release...
Which is *much* better. Who wants to escape?

If that doesn't make you think twice about not using quick release cuffs, nothing will.
I understand that most if not all handcuffs use the same key.
The moment you properly use leather cuffs you tend to be out of luck anyway. ;-)
