Karabiners and Connectors

The Beal Air-Hook is an auto-locking aluminium connector with a large opening and automatic locking. With its wide opening and automatic locking, the Air Hook connector is ideal for connecting to cables and bars. For greater comfort, its locking and unlocking trigger is anatomically designed. And to ensure their traceability, each connector has a unique identification number.

The Beal Air-Smith is a steel karabiner that is ideal for rigging and a variety of other uses. It has one of the highest strength ratings and comes with two easy to use gate locking systems.

The Beal Be Lock is a large HMS carabiner designed for easy use with double (halves and twins) rope systems. The large surface area provides easy control in all weather. The Be Lock is particularly suitable for HMS belays and double rope manoeuvres, such as capstan or half-capstan.

The Beal Be Safe is a HMS screwlock karabiner that's perfect for use with belay devices as it can accommodate two ropes at once, without the risk of them becoming overlapped in the event of a fall. The reception cradle ensures that the two ropes slide together and does not generate friction on the sides of the carabiner when the rope is braked. This is true whether rappelling or stopping a fall.

The Beal Flat Link has been designed to go with the Hold Up harness and is a fully rated karabiner, making it ideal for full body harnesses. The flat surfaces ensure an even load distribution on webbing.

The Beal O'Light is an oval shaped aluminium karabiner for use with equipment that has swivelling side plates. The shape of this karabiner is designed to easily connect double flange equipment such as pulleys, blockers and mobile fall arresters. It also has a keylock system and each carabiner has an individual number that guarantees its traceability.

The Beal Orient Express is a unidirectional locking carabiner designed for use with belay devices. Thanks to the internal snap gate that clips onto a harness belay loop, the carabiner cannot turn over. This ensures the carabiner stays in the correct direction thus reducing the risk of the belay system being weakened through cross loading.

The Beal O'Smith is a steel symmetrical oval karabiner that's ideal for using and working with pulleys. The oval shape is perfect for using with pulleys as it ensures that the pulley sits perfectly square and is equalised for balance. Each carabiner has an individual number that guarantees its traceability.

Don't deal with a cross loaded belay karabiner again! The Black Diamond GridLock Screwgate is specifically designed for belaying, the Gridlock isolates the belay loop of a harness behind the uniquely shaped internal gate, thus keeping the karabiner in the correct orientation. The Gridlock is simple, easy to use and effective.

The Black Diamond Miniwire Rackpack has been engineered for the light and fast climber that’s counting every gram, the MiniWire Rackpack features six of the lightest, fully-functional carabiners in the Black Diamond line-up. Each carabiner is colour-coded to match Black Diamond's Camalots for easy identification while racking.

The Black Diamond Oval Keylock is the iconic, symmetrical Oval has stood the test of time, and will now remain essential to your rack due to the new Keylock snag-free design. With its large rope-bearing surface, improved ease of use, and smooth uniform shape that reduces carabiner shift, the Oval will continue to get the job done on the world’s hardest big walls.

The Black Diamond RockLock Screwgate is BD's largest belay and rappel locker, the Black Diamond RockLock carabiner features a keylock nose, is Munter Hitch compatible and can be operated with one hand.

The DMM 10mm Equal D karabiner offers the perfect balance of strength, usability and weight. A long standing favourite in DMM's height safety range, the 10mm Equal D is available with a choice of 3 gate closure systems, you can choose between a traditional screwgate, a 2-way kwiklock or a 3 way locksafe. Which ever you opt for, they all feature a 15mm gate opening for loading things and all three are zinc plated to prevent and protect against corrosion.

The DMM 10mm Oval is a steel carabiner that's perfect for use with pulleys. The steel construction is lighter in weight than some of the alternatives, but it still delivers great levels of strength. Compact, strong and hard wearing, yet incredibly versatile in application. The oval shape centralises loaded connectors, slings, pulleys etc. minimising the unnerving jumping of equipment associated with D shaped connectors.

The DMM 12mm Boa is a great steel carabiner with a wide variety of applications. Whether using in a commercial work environment, outdoor adventure parks or outdoor education centres - this is a steel karabiner capable of many jobs. It has all the versatility of its alloy sibling, but has a rated strength of 40kN. It can be used for many applications where a large gate opening or high internal volume are required. The smooth rounded internal form is very useful when rotating the karabiner through attachment eyes, and the basket curves nicely to allow central hanging of loaded components.

The DMM 12mm Klettersteig is a steel carabiner that offers high levels of strength whilst combining a large gate opening so its easy to clip on steel cables for use on a Via Ferrata. The Klettersteig shape takes the strength and volume increases of an Offset D and then extends them even further to give a high volume, super-strong connector. The Klettersteig’s wide gate opening makes it particularly suitable for clipping oversized items, or simply allows ease of use in more normal situations.

The DMM 12mm Offset D is a locking steel karabiner that is ideal for use in commercial environments, such as work positioning or in outdoor adventure parks and education centres. An Offset D connector takes the spinal loading strength of a D-shaped back but extends the basket at one end to maximize gate opening and overall size without compromising ergonomics and weight. Cold forged from 12mm bar, the strengths achieved in testing exceed 45kN and it is first choice in applications requiring stronger connectors in their systems.

The DMM 30kN Boa HMS Keylock is the heavier duty version of the 25kN Boa, it is hot forged from 14mm bar which gives it the 30kN major axis rescue that's required for rescue loads. Its ergonomics ensure that it is still easily operated whilst wearing gloves and the curved basket copes with even the busiest rigging set ups, allowing devices to settle comfortably.

The DMM Anchor Rings are simple, functional anchor components that work seamlessly with connectors and textile components. They are ideal when a tamperproof linking component is preferred over opening connectors, such as establishing remote anchor points.

The DMM Belay Master  is a belay karabiner that has safety at its heart. The nylon crossgate means that you can be sure that the screwgate is locked properly if the crossgate is closed. It stops the chance of the screw undoing and retains the karabiner in the correct orientation so not weakening of the system can occur.

The DMM Belay Master Clip can be used in conjunction with many DMM karabiners (that can be bought in store), this device locks in place the karabiner, to prevent cross loading. It holds the karabiner and belay device in the correct alignment with the harness. This clip can only be locked if the screwgate has been properly closed, being another safety advantage. This small item will aid to make sure you never do your belay wrong!

The DMM Captive Eye ensures that in real life situations the connector will never be cross loaded through misalignment. Whatever the captive eye is stitched or connected to it can move freely thanks to the circular hole. The hole can also accommodate a second connector should the need for a rescue point arise.

The DMM Ceros has been designed to help minimise the risk of cross-loading with its internal wire-gate that will keep the karabiner captive on the belay loop. The wire gate opens onto the belay loop in a single movement, plus the intuitive design ensures it is easy to use and rack - even with one hand. The horn on the spine of the karabiner helps prevent assisted braking devices from jumping onto the spine.

The DMM PerfectO is a compact true oval carabiner that maintains ease of use, even one-handed. Its shape provides effective centring of loads and the fully rounded rope bearing areas increase carabiner and rope longevity. A keylock nose allows snag-free operation.

The DMM PerfectO Straight Gate is a true oval, compact karabiner that maintains the ease of use (even one-handed). Its shape provides effective centring of loads and the fully rounded rope bearing areas increase carabiner and rope longevity.

The DMM Phantom is their ultimate trad and alpine screwgate Karabiner, and when you hold those 42 grams you will understand why! They claim they could have made it even lighter, but did not want to compromise the handling or strength. As you can see from the specification below the strength is still impressive and the gate opening reasonable for a small D shaped biner.

The DMM Phantom is a highly focussed lightweight climbing carabiner. Its I-Beam construction improves the strength to weight ratio, a minimised gate notch reduces snagging, and sound fundamental design encourages correct loading. The Phantom can be used on lightweight quickdraws, to rack gear, or to hold essentials like nut keys.

The DMM Phantom HMS is an extremely compact and lightweight, yet strong karabiner with an optimised rope bearing surface that's ideally suited for belaying and rigging. The extra-short gate and slim tapering nose can easily take clove hitches and clipping slings.

The DMM Revolver is certified for use as both a karabiner and a pulley. It is the same as DMM's standard Revolver karabiner, but it features a locking gate which provides extra security. There is a small wheel in the rope location groove to reduce rope drag, allowing the rope to run more efficiently through the karabiner.

The DMM Revolver Rig is a connector with an integrated pulley sheave. Featuring a high efficiency roller bearing sheave(s), a threaded removable captive bar and a full strength textile friendly becket. The uniquely profiled spine and captive bar aid in maintaining correct orientation. The design of the Revolver Rig is such that when using a connector attached to the becket, any friction between the connector and rope is minimised.

The DMM Revolver Rig is a connector with an integrated pulley sheave. Featuring a high efficiency roller bearing sheave(s), a threaded removable captive bar and a full strength textile friendly basket.

A revolution in more ways than one! The DMM Revolver wire gated karabiner features a small wheel in the rope location groove. The result is a reduction in rope drag of up to 30%, which can, in effect, reduce the weight of your rope. A Revolver on your rack lets you reduce rope drag and make efficient mechanical advantage systems without the need for additional devices.
