Description

Locking carabiners, non-locking climbing carabiners, non-load-bearing accessory carabiners, quickdraw carabiners, HMS carabiners, screwgates, twistlocks... sometimes it's hard to keep track. There are three main types of carabiner: non-load-bearing (accessory) carabiners, basic or normal carabiners (often referred to as non-locking carabiners) and locking carabiners. Locking carabiners do exactly what they say on the tin. They're available with a range of different locking mechanisms. In situations where a failing carabiner in the safety chain would have serious consequences, they are particularly important. Always use locking carabiners for belaying, abseiling, roping up on glaciers and at building belays. Locking carabiners with less complex opening mechanisms are also used in quickdraws to provide extra protection. New, innovative designs hit the market every year. Locking carabiners offer maximum safety and yet need to remain easy to handle. This is where the differentlocking mechanisms come in. Locking carabiners fall into two main groups: manual locking and auto-locking (aka self-closing or self-locking) carabiners. As you might expect, manual locking carabiners have a manual locking mechanism which you have to actively close. Auto-locking carabiners are self closing, and shut automatically as soon as you release the gate.
