Use them for belay/rappel devices and critical protection placements. Choose between: Screw-lock: Requires manual twisting to close. Auto-locking: Automatically locks when the gate closes. Non-locking carabiners are lighter, quicker to clip or unclip but can accidentally open. Ideal for racking gear or for quickdraws. Shape Asymmetric D: Most common design; lightweight with a large gate for easy clipping. Great for sport and trad climbing. D shape: Strongest shape, excellent for most kinds of climbing. Ideal for racking trad gear. Pear shape: Designed for belaying, rappelling and anchor points. Heavier and more expensive. Oval shape: Smaller gate opening and affordable. Ideal for aid climbing or racking trad gear. Not as strong or light as other shapes. Gate Types Straight-gate: Durable and easy to use. Good for various purposes and sport-climbing quickdraws. Bent-gate: Makes rope clipping easier. Generally used for quickdraws. Wire-gate: Lightweight, less likely to vibrate open during a fall or freezing shut. Locking: Most secure; required for use with belay/rappelling devices and critical protection placements.
