Pro-Climb Carabiner, Double-Locking Aluminum

This Pro-Climb carabiner is an aluminum connector with a two-action auto-locking gate. It is a practical, affordable choice for lanyards, hitch systems and the everyday connections in a climbing kit.

An everyday connector

Every climber goes through carabiners: connecting a flipline, hanging a saw, building a hitch system. A double-locking aluminum carabiner covers most of those jobs at a fair price, which makes it easy to keep spares in the truck and to outfit new climbers.

The two-action gate locks automatically when it closes and opens with a twist then a pull. It is quicker than a triple-action gate, so check that a double-action gate is acceptable for your use under your company's rules and ANSI Z133.

Buying a few at a time also lets you color-code your kit, keeping one set for lanyards and another for hitch systems. Keep spares clean and out of the saw bucket, and retire any carabiner that shows grooves, cracks or a gate that does not snap shut and lock every time.

Use and inspection

Read the strength markings and keep loads along the spine. Aluminum wears faster than steel where rope runs over it, so look for grooves and sharp edges.

Carabiners in a climbing system are life-support gear. Use only connectors rated for the purpose, follow ANSI Z133 and the maker's instructions, load them along the major axis, and inspect the gate, spring and body before each use. Compare our auto-locking carabiners.
