Regulock HMS Autolock

The HMS shape is specifically designed for belaying. Its pear-like geometry provides a wider rope-bearing surface, which helps prevent the rope from bunching up and allows for smoother feeding and lowering compared to narrower shapes.

Yes, the auto-locking gate is designed for quick, one-handed operation. You simply twist and pull to open, and it snaps shut automatically when released, which is a significant safety advantage when you need to secure your belay device quickly.

While it is on the sturdier side, the weight is a trade-off for the durability and ease of use it provides. If you are counting every gram for an alpine push, you might prefer a lighter wire-gate, but for most cragging and multi-pitch days where safety and handling are priorities, the weight is negligible.

Absolutely. The 22mm gate opening is quite generous, making it easy to clip even with thicker ropes or when using gloves. It is designed to minimize fumbling during transitions.

Yes, the Regulock HMS is compatible with almost all standard belay devices, including tube-style devices and assisted-braking devices. Its HMS shape ensures the device sits correctly and doesn't rotate excessively during use.
