BE LOCK SCREW
Best reliable locking mechanism for demanding outdoor and safety applications.
This is the workhorse you want at a belay station when simplicity matters more than speed. The manual screw-lock demands a bit more attention than an auto-locker, but you gain a level of tactile, foolproof security that feels reassuringly old-school in complex rope maneuvers.
