Minimal weight, maximum protection.

FEATURES

Personal Locking Carabiner for versatility and low weight

Personal lockers are used where weight and size are as important as strength, such as on sling runners and for most connection points on belay stances. In a standard 2 person climbing team, most of your locking carabiners will be personal lockers.

Offset D carabiner for optimal loading and ergonomics

D-Shaped carabiners encourage loading in their strongest orientation by forcing loads toward the carabiner spine. An Offset D refines this basic design by extending the top bar, increasing internal volume. This improves handling and compatibility with thick ropes and slings.

Keylock nose eliminates snagging

This carabiner's nose slots into a groove in the gate, allowing it to achieve full strength without a gate notch. This creates a clean internal profile that won't catch on gear, bolts or slings, giving easier clipping and removal from systems.

I-Beam construction for optimum strength to weight ratio

I-Beam construction techniques allow carabiners to be lighter without compromising strength. This is achieved through hot forging, a process which allows metal to be made into complex shapes that improve functionality.

Locking gate types

Screwgate

Manual locking gate requiring screwing/unscrewing of the barrel to lock/unlock.

Kwiklock

Auto-locking gate requiring two distinct actions to open.

Locksafe

Auto-locking gate requiring three distinct actions to open.

Durolock

Auto-locking gate requiring four distinct operations to open. Force must be maintained throughout or the gate returns to safe (locked).

Kwiklock ANSI

Same gate action as Kwiklock but the connector is also required to exceed 16kN in minor axis, side load and gate face tests.

Locksafe ANSI

Same gate action as Locksafe but the connector is also required to exceed 16kN in minor axis, side load and gate face tests.

Lightweight, still fits a clove hitch, great little locking biner

Lightweight, still fits a clove hitch, great little locking biner. Makes a perfect addition to a trad rack.

The go to

More of these in my climbing and outdoor kit than any other bit of gear. They just work well.

Phantom every time

The Phantom locker and the Phantom HMS are the absolute backbone of my alpine rack. They weigh next to nothing and handle beautifully. Why would you use anything else!? Only downside of these was my partner kept nicking them because they're so good - but it wasn't long before she bought her own.

Lovely screwgate

One of the lightest screwgates on the market. While I personally prefer Petzl Spirit for my small screwgates (due to being larger at about the same weight and having a red bar on the gate), the advantage of Phantom is that it can fit into individual chain links on bolted belays. That is especially useful when you're climbing as a team of three and want to distribute clipping points more evenly on the belay for added comfort.

Light, strong and reliable

My favourite small locking biner. I always have 2-3 of these in my rack to build anchors on multipitch routes. Despite its lightness, it is also one of the strongest (if not the most) small biners in the market. Perfect combo with locking Shadow for all purpose on multipitch.
