RockD Screw-Lock Carabiner

The rockD is the carabiner of choice when seeking the highest strength in a standard-sized aluminum frame. The rockD carabiner serves the broadest range of specialized uses. The rockD in non-lanyard versions features a flattened shape with an i-beam profile at the bottom and top bends, giving the carabiner a sleek profile, while providing low weight and high strength characteristics.

• Narrow asymmetric "D" shape optimizes MBS
• High strength-to-weight ratio in standard size carabiner
• Snag-resistant keylock nose design
• Large and ergonomic angled gate opening
• Machined frame ensures tight tolerances and smooth operation

Gate Mechanism

Two important features make the Rock Exotica Screw-lock unique from all others. First, all aluminum parts are anodized. This is particularly important for the screw-sleeve and gate, since without this coating, it is more susceptible to corrosion. This protective surface also gives the sleeve a smoother spin.

Second, the gate was designed with an enlarged flange at the top. This prevents the screw-sleeve from moving past the end of the gate, whereas with other designs, the sleeve can wear past the last thread of the gate and slip off.

• Features all anodized parts for smooth operation and increased longevity
• Gate design prevents screw-sleeve from detaching from gate
• Snag-resistant keylock nose design
• Large and ergonomic angled gate opening
