Steel: Used more commonly in industrial settings due to its strength and durability
Locking Gate: A separate mechanism or sleeve that ensures the carabiner does not accidentally open. There are several types of locking carabiners that we manufacture.
Screw Locking: a gate is the most common. A sleeve must manually be loosened to unlock or tightened.
Pin Nose: A notch in the nose of the carabiner to maintain the structure and strength. This nose type is typically stronger.
Modified “D” shape: shape helps to push the load to the back of the “spine”. Allows weight to be carried primarily by the spine and less by the gate—making for a stronger and lighter use.
