100,01 €ExBT-18HE-BK BHT-54 is a professional, hardened Easy Lock expandable baton with a length of 18" / 460 mm, equipped with an ergonomic HE (Ergonomic Grip) handle and a rounded Round Ending tip. The set includes a professional rotating BHT-54 holder, allowing quick baton draw and automatic deployment during removal. The holder is equipped with a UBC-05-A mount featuring the Quick Change system, allowing the holder to be quickly detached from the mount.
Easy Lock is a modern expandable baton locking system operated by a button located at the end of the handle. The baton can be deployed in three ways: automatically when drawn from the BHT-54 holder, manually by pulling out the telescopic sections by the baton tip, or conventionally with a wrist swing. Manual deployment is particularly useful when discreet opening is preferred or when there is not enough space to perform a full swing. To collapse the baton, press the Easy Lock button and then use the other hand to push the telescopic sections back into the handle. The manufacturer does not recommend collapsing the baton by striking or pressing its tip against a hard surface.
Handle – black, with an ergonomically shaped HE (Ergonomic Grip) profile that facilitates secure and comfortable baton handling. The rubber grip surface provides a stable hold and good control during use. The durable connection between the handle and the baton construction increases its strength and improves grip stability.
BHT-54 holder – designed for hardened ESP Easy Lock expandable batons in 16" and 18" lengths, including versions with a rounded Round Ending (ExBT) and a triangular Triangle Ending (ExBTT), with H (Anti-Slip) and HE (Ergonomic) handles. It offers two methods of drawing the baton. The first, standard method, allows the baton to be removed in the collapsed position. The second, after fully pressing the baton into the holder, allows it to deploy automatically during the draw. For this function to operate correctly, the baton must be fully inserted into the holder so that its tip is retained by the mechanism located in the base. During removal, the tip remains momentarily secured, causing the telescopic sections to extend and lock automatically. If automatic deployment is not required, the mechanism can be removed from the lower part of the holder. The baton can be carried vertically, horizontally or at a selected angle according to the user's preference, improving carrying comfort and allowing quick access.
UBC-05-A – a slide-on belt mount with the Quick Change system, allowing the BHT-54 holder to be quickly detached and replaced with another compatible ESP holder, e.g. for a flashlight, magazine or pepper spray. The UBC-05-A clip remains attached to the belt, while holders equipped with the Quick Change System can be quickly exchanged as required. The mount is designed for belts 38–56 mm wide and, after removal of the adjustment insert, can be used with belts up to 68 mm wide, including wide duty belts. Its design allows the attached holder to rotate through a full 360° and lock into one of 16 predefined positions.
Steel – the telescopic components are manufactured from cold-drawn seamless steel tubes of grade ČSN 12 060 (Czech standard), equivalent to Ck55 (DIN 17200) and C55E (EN 10083-1 + A1). The individual tubes are hardened to between 47 ± 2 HRC and 51 ± 2 HRC, depending on the component. This provides high resistance to deformation during intensive use.
Finish – the telescopic metal components are coated with a black nickel-zinc finish (Black Ni-Zn), increasing surface resistance to abrasion.

The locking mechanisms in telescopic batons determine how securely they deploy and how they fold back. We compare the friction lock system—which relies on pressure against a hard surface—with the push-button mechanical lock that allows for retraction without striking the baton.
Easy Lock telescopic batons are advanced tools engineered for rapid deployment and user safety. Featuring a precision locking mechanism, they can be extended with a single flick of the wrist—quickly, silently, and effortlessly. Crafted from Cro-Mo 4130 steel and coated with a durable Ni-Zn finish, they combine exceptional strength with a sleek, professional look. The ergonomic grip ensures a secure hold in any situation. A dependable choice for law enforcement and civilians alike, these batons offer effective self-defense and superior craftsmanship.
