Attache Locking Carabiner

A Screw Lock carabiner features a threaded sleeve that you can twist to secure the gate. This locking mechanism prevents the gate from accidentally opening, providing an extra layer of safety while climbing. It's essential for ensuring that your gear remains secure during your ascent or descent.

The Keylock Nose design eliminates the hook or notch at the end of the carabiner gate, allowing for smoother clipping and unclipping. This feature reduces the chances of snagging on ropes or gear, making it easier and safer to use, especially in critical moments during your climb.

A Visual Indicator is a design feature that shows whether the carabiner is locked or unlocked. This allows climbers to quickly and easily check the status of the carabiner at a glance, ensuring that it is secure before relying on it. This quick verification can be crucial for safety in climbing situations.

Yes! This carabiner is designed with a wide head that accommodates both Munters and Clove Hitches easily. These knots are commonly used in climbing for belaying and securing ropes, making this carabiner a versatile choice for various climbing techniques.

Major Axis Strength refers to the maximum force (measured in kilonewtons, kN) that the carabiner can withstand when the load is applied along its strongest axis. For example, a carabiner with a major axis strength of 21 kN can handle significant weight and force, making it a reliable choice for climbing. Understanding this strength helps you choose the right gear for your climbing needs.

To ensure your carabiner is safe, check for the Visual Indicator to confirm it is locked, inspect the Screw Lock mechanism for any wear or damage, and verify that the Major Axis Strength meets your climbing requirements. Regularly inspecting your gear and understanding its features will help you maintain safety while climbing.
