OK Triact Auto Lock Carabiner

The Keylock System is a design feature in carabiners that eliminates the hook or notch on the spine. This allows for smoother clipping and unclipping, reducing the risk of snagging on gear or ropes. If you're climbing or engaging in outdoor activities, this system makes handling the carabiner easier and safer, enhancing your overall experience.

The TRIACT-LOCK mechanism requires three actions to open the gate: a twist and a pull. This added complexity prevents accidental openings, making it a safer choice for climbing and other activities where security is crucial. If you prioritize safety in your gear, this locking mechanism is an excellent option.

The BALL-LOCK System features a ball-bearing mechanism that automatically locks the gate when closed. This design allows for quick access while ensuring that the carabiner remains securely locked during use. If you need a reliable and efficient locking system, the BALL-LOCK is a great choice.

Yes, the Screw-Lock System is a traditional and effective locking mechanism. It requires the user to manually screw a collar down over the gate to lock it. While it is simple, it’s essential to remember to lock it after use. If you prefer a straightforward locking method and are diligent about safety, this system can work well for you.

The CAPTIV Bar is an accessory that helps position the carabiner correctly along its major axis. By preventing the carabiner from flipping or rotating, it ensures that it stays aligned with the device it’s connected to. This feature enhances safety and efficiency, making it particularly useful in climbing and rigging applications.

For beginners, the Screw-Lock System is often recommended due to its simplicity and ease of use. However, if you want added security without the need to remember to lock it, the BALL-LOCK or TRIACT-LOCK mechanisms are also excellent choices. Consider your comfort level and the activities you plan to engage in when selecting the best option for you.
