locking carabiner
Climbing gate fastener
A locking carabiner is a metal clip with a spring-loaded gate that can be secured shut by a threaded sleeve, twist lock, or other mechanism.
Standard carabiners can open accidentally under pressure; the locking variety prevents this.
Used in climbing, rescue work, and industrial safety where an unintended opening could be fatal: Always use a locking carabiner for your belay device.
