BD Black Diamond Gridlock Triple Lock Carabiner triple action climbing carabiner

The Gridlock Triple Lock by Black Diamond is a safety carabiner with a three-action automatic closure, specifically designed for climbing and mountaineering to completely eliminate the risk of cross-loading. Thanks to its intuitive design, this carabiner isolates the harness's belay loop behind a small internal wire lever, ensuring it always remains in the correct orientation during use. The Triple Lock mechanism offers a higher level of security and can be easily operated with one hand, facilitating maneuvers at belays or in the gym. The structure features a "horn" shaped back that keeps the belay device in the correct position, preventing lateral movement. Made from an alloy consisting of 96% aluminum and 4% steel, the Gridlock Triple Lock weighs 90 grams and boasts exceptional strength, with 26 kN on the major axis and 8 kN on both the minor axis and when the lever is open. With a lever opening of 22 mm, this professional tool represents the ultimate choice for those seeking maximum safety and practicality, addressing the issue of cross-loading at its root without complicating belay operations.
