DMM Zodiac Locksafe Carabiner

The Zodiac is an offset D-shape, which is designed to maximize gate opening and internal volume while maintaining high strength. This specific geometry helps keep the load positioned along the spine, making it more stable and efficient for rescue or heavy-duty rigging tasks compared to a symmetrical D.

The patented Taperlock nose creates a 'clean' profile, meaning there is no hook to snag on ropes, webbing, or gear loops when you are clipping or unclipping. It significantly reduces frustration and potential wear on your gear during high-frequency use.

While it is built to handle the rigorous demands of rescue and industrial rigging, it is also certified for climbing (EN 12275). Its strength-to-weight ratio makes it a reliable choice for climbers who need a robust, heavy-duty connector that won't weigh down their rack unnecessarily.

The Locksafe mechanism is a triple-action locking system that requires three distinct movements—slide, twist, and pull—to open the gate. This provides a high level of security against accidental opening, which is essential for critical applications where the carabiner cannot be allowed to open unintentionally.

With a gate opening of 18mm, it can accommodate most standard climbing and rigging ropes. However, if you are frequently using very thick static lines or multiple ropes simultaneously, you may want to double-check that the 18mm clearance is sufficient for your specific setup.
