The RockLock carabiner from Black Diamond is the largest belay and rappel locker. It has a keylock nose to prevent snagging, is compatible with the Munter Hitch, and can be easily operated with one hand. The square hinge end firmly holds the belay loop in place. The slightly curved spine maximizes the gate opening. It features a screwgate sleeve and is a Type H or HMS connector, perfect for dynamic belaying with a Munter Hitch or belay device.
How to use: To use this carabiner, first, unscrew the screwgate sleeve with one hand. Then, attach it to your belay loop or the appropriate climbing gear. When you're done, close the gate and screw the sleeve back on to secure it.
Things to note: Make sure the carabiner is properly locked before you start climbing. Don't over - tighten the screwgate as it may damage the carabiner.
Maintenance advice: After each use, clean the carabiner with a mild soap and water. Dry it thoroughly to prevent rust. Check for any signs of wear or damage regularly. If you notice any cracks or significant wear, replace the carabiner immediately.
