Steel Heavy Duty Key Lock Oval Carabiner

The keylock nose eliminates the traditional 'hook' found on many carabiners, which prevents the gate from snagging on ropes, slings, or webbing. This makes clipping and unclipping much smoother and significantly reduces the risk of accidental gate hang-ups.

The screw gate is ideal if you prefer manual control and want a simpler, field-serviceable mechanism. The three-stage auto-lock is better for high-stakes environments where you need the gate to lock automatically every time it closes, providing an extra layer of security against accidental opening.

Yes, it is certified to both CE EN 362:2004-M (industrial) and EN 12275:1998-B (climbing) standards. Its 30 kN strength rating makes it robust enough for rescue, industrial rigging, and heavy-duty climbing applications.

This model is intentionally larger than traditional oval carabiners. The increased frame size provides better gate clearance, making it easier to handle with gloves or when managing multiple ropes and devices.

At 190 grams, this carabiner is heavier than aluminum equivalents, which typically weigh significantly less. However, the hardened steel offers superior durability and wear resistance, making it the better choice for stationary industrial setups or high-abrasion environments where aluminum would wear down quickly.
