This Camp carabiner has a patented design that locks it securely on the belay loop, effectively preventing dangerous cross - loading. The inner gate stretches fully across, offering top - notch security. It shares the same spring as the main gate, ensuring it stays shut. There's a dimple on the spine that provides an extra catch for the inner gate. The keylock closure allows for snag - free rigging.
The No - Twist belay loop on CAMP harnesses is a great way to avoid cross - loading. But if you don't have a CAMP harness, the HMS Belay Lock is your best choice. This patented carabiner has a small inner gate that closes over the belay loop when the biner is in the ideal position for belaying or rappelling. It stops the biner from rotating, almost completely eliminating the risk of cross - loading. The patent is the secret behind its magic.
Using the same spring for the main gate and the small inner gate saves weight and makes the two gates work together smoothly for quick and easy attachment. First, clip the biner onto the belay loop and let it close. Then, open the small gate and put in the belay loop. Next, fully open the main gate to compress the small inner gate and insert your belay device and rope at the same time. Finally, tighten the screw gate.

Using the Camp HMS Belay Safe Carabiner is easy. First, find a good belay loop. Clip the carabiner onto it and let the main gate close on its own. Then, open the small inner gate and slide the belay loop inside. After that, open the main gate all the way. This will compress the small inner gate. Now, you can insert your belay device and rope at the same time. Once everything is in place, tighten the screw gate to secure it.
When using this carabiner, always make sure the gates are fully closed and locked. Check the screw gate regularly to ensure it doesn't come loose during use. Avoid exposing the carabiner to extreme temperatures or chemicals, as this can damage the metal and the spring mechanism.
To maintain your carabiner, clean it with a mild soap and water after each use. Dry it thoroughly to prevent rust. Periodically, check the spring tension of both gates. If you notice any signs of wear or damage, stop using the carabiner immediately and replace it.
