The 'Triple' refers to the triple-action locking mechanism on the gate. You must perform three distinct movements—slide, twist, and pull—to open the carabiner, which provides an extra layer of security against accidental opening compared to a standard screw-gate.

Yes, the Regulock is an HMS-style carabiner, which is specifically designed to accommodate a Munter hitch knot. Its pear shape and wide rope-bearing surface allow the rope to slide smoothly through the hitch without binding.

Despite having a standard-sized frame, the Regulock features a generous 23mm gate opening. This makes clipping ropes or bulky belay devices noticeably easier than with more compact carabiners.

At 91 grams, it is on the heavier side compared to ultralight locking carabiners. While it is perfectly functional for multi-pitch, you might prefer a lighter option if you are counting every gram for a long alpine approach.

Yes, the Regulock is compatible with almost all standard belay devices, including tube-style devices and assisted-braking devices like the Grigri. Its wide basket helps keep the device positioned correctly during use.
