Am'D Pin-Lock Carabiner

The PIN-LOCK system is designed specifically for group use or situations where you want to prevent unauthorized or accidental opening. It requires a dedicated tool to unlock the gate, ensuring the carabiner stays securely closed until a supervisor or user with the tool releases it.

While it is a high-strength aluminum carabiner, the PIN-LOCK mechanism is intended for specialized applications rather than standard climbing. It is best suited for group activities, ropes courses, or industrial setups where you need to lock equipment in place permanently or semi-permanently.

Yes, the H-profile is a functional design choice that optimizes the strength-to-weight ratio. It allows the carabiner to be lightweight at 80 grams while maintaining a high major axis strength of 27 kN, and it also helps protect the product markings from abrasion over time.

The CAPTIV positioning bar is not included with the carabiner and must be purchased separately. It is a useful add-on if you want to ensure the carabiner remains loaded along its major axis, which is the strongest orientation.

You need the specific unlocking tool provided by Petzl. If you purchase the carabiner individually, it comes with an unlocking ring; if you buy the pack of 10, it includes two dedicated unlocking tools.

No, the carabiner features a Keylock system, which is a smooth, notch-free nose design. This prevents the carabiner from snagging on ropes, slings, or your harness gear loops during use.
