What characterizes high-quality twist locks for police helmets
Whether police or firefighters: emergency services are exposed to danger every day. It is therefore important that they wear equipment that guarantees maximum safety. This also includes safety helmets. In order to open and close them quickly, it is recommended that they are fitted with twist locks.
We at Gudo AG provide various Rotary closures for different areas of application. In the following, we will inform you about which models are available from us and how they enhance police helmets and firefighter helmets.
What are the advantages of twist locks for police helmets and other safety helmets?
In the event of police or Fire department it often comes down to a matter of seconds. People in distress need to be rescued or protected. Therefore, the emergency services should not waste any time putting on their equipment. If the helmets are fitted with twist fasteners, they can be tightened very easily. It is just as easy to take the safety helmets off again.
Simply turn the knob to shorten the length of the rope that holds the helmet in place. In this way, the helmet can be adjusted to fit the head exactly, providing a secure fit. This is even possible with just one hand, which is helpful in certain situations.
Twist fasteners are just as practical when the police helmets or firefighter helmets need to be taken off again. To do this, the button must be turned in the other direction. So if the helmet needs to be taken off quickly, this can be done conveniently thanks to the fasteners.
Another advantage of the twist locks is that they ensure a secure hold. It cannot happen that the rope does not hold the helmet firmly enough on the head. If the helmet were to come loose during use, the consequences would be fatal. This cannot happen with twist locks.
In addition, police helmets and firefighter helmets often have to be put on and taken off with gloves. High-quality twist locks are also suitable for this. They can be easily operated with gloves. This also saves the emergency services time because they do not have to take their gloves off and then put them on again.
In addition, it is sometimes necessary to put on and secure safety helmets when there is little space available. This is the case, for example, in vehicles or in a crowd. Even then, twist locks are a practical solution. This is because they can be operated even when space is limited.
