D Shape
D-shaped carabiners are the
most versatile and are eff icient
in a variety of different situations.
Pear Shape
These carabiners have a large
basket. They are recommended
for carrying gear, tying a Munter
hitch, or to use at anchor points.
Oval Shape
These carabiners are designed
for use with pulleys and progress-
capture pulleys.
SCREW-LOCK
With an easy-to-open gate, it can
be locked or not according to
need. The red indicator provides a
visual warning when the carabiner
is unlocked. This system is ideal
for harsh environments where
contaminants (mud, ice) could
cause an automatic locking
system to jam.
TWIST-LOCK
Automatic locking system
designed for very frequent use;
for use at the end of a lanyard or
for connecting assisted-blocking
belay devices to the harness.
Double-action opening by turning
the sleeve, then pressing
on the gate.
BALL-LOCK
Automatic locking system
designed for frequent use.
The triple-action opening consists
of pressing on the green indicator,
turning the sleeve, then pressing
on the gate. The green button
indicates when the gate is locked.
TRIACT-LOCK
Automatic locking system.
The triple-action opening consists
of raising and turning the sleeve,
then pressing on the gate.
Features of Petzl Carabiners
Locking Carabiners
Fluid Interior Design
The f luid interior design of Petzl
locking carabiners limits the risk
of the nose getting caught while
clipping and facilitates rotation
of the carabiner.
H-Frame
Carabiners have an H-frame
that provides an optimal
strength-to-weight ratio, protects
the markings from abrasion,
and offers excellent handling,
even when wearing gloves.
Keylock System
To provide optimal eff iciency, all Petzl
carabiners use the Keylock system:
the nose of the carabiner, where the
body and gate meet, does not have
a notch that could snag on anchors,
ropes, harness equipment loops,
or other gear.
