Snapgate Carabiners

Quick and secure: A locking carabiner

As their name already reveals, non-locking carabiners do not have a safety lock but they come with a snap gate. The gate of non-locking carabiners is fixed with a spring. To open it, the jack simply has to be pushed inwards. This enables an easy clipping of the non-locking carabiner when you are in a hurry. Wherever there is no need for permanent belay devices, non-locking carabiners come handy - just as for intermediate connection points. One or ideally good range of non-locking carabiners should be a part of every well-equipped climbing gear!

Yet, some properties are essential for all non-locking carabiners. They should provide you with great handling, while being able to clip fast and securely - after all, usually everything needs to be done quickly and single-handedly. Additionally, non-locking carabiners should be robust and contain a high level of breaking load. High-quality non-locking carabiners are extremely essential for the climbing equipment!
