When choosing non-locking carabiners, consider the gate type. A wire gate offers a lightweight option with reduced risk of gate flutter, while a solid gate provides a more robust feel. Both options ensure smooth operation and a secure connection to your climbing rope or other gear.

Safety is paramount, and understanding how to use these carabiners correctly is crucial. Avoid cross-loading, which occurs when the carabiner is loaded sideways, as it significantly reduces its strength. Always ensure the carabiner is properly aligned with the load to maintain its integrity.

What is the difference between Screwgate and Autolock?

The primary difference lies in the locking mechanism. Screwgate carabiners require manual twisting of the gate to lock and unlock, offering control over the locking process. Autolock carabiners, on the other hand, automatically lock when the gate is closed, providing an added layer of security without manual intervention.

What is the difference between HMS and non HMS carabiners?

HMS carabiners, also known as pear-shaped carabiners, are designed for belaying with a Munter hitch and offer a wider gate opening. Non-HMS carabiners typically have a more uniform shape and are used for general purposes, providing a more compact and lightweight option.

Why is cross loading a carabiner bad?

Cross loading a carabiner is detrimental because it places stress on the carabiner in a direction it wasn't designed to handle, significantly reducing its strength and increasing the risk of failure. Always ensure the carabiner is properly aligned with the load to maintain safety.

How do auto-locking carabiners work?

Auto-locking carabiners feature a spring-loaded mechanism that automatically locks the gate when closed. This design provides quick and secure locking without the need for manual twisting, enhancing safety and convenience during climbing activities.
