DMM Shadow Locksafe Carabiner

Locksafe refers to DMM's triple-action locking mechanism. You must lift, twist, and push the gate to open it, which provides an extra layer of security against accidental opening compared to a standard screw-gate or two-action locker.

Yes. The carabiner features an anodized finish specifically designed to resist corrosion, making it a reliable choice for salty or humid environments where standard aluminum gear might degrade faster.

The deep basket is engineered to guide the rope naturally toward the spine of the carabiner. This keeps the load positioned correctly along the major axis, where the carabiner is strongest, and helps prevent cross-loading.

No. The Shadow features a keylock nose design, which creates a smooth, snag-free interface between the gate and the body. This makes clipping and unclipping much easier, especially when you are working with slings or ropes.

The gate opening is 17 mm. While this is sufficient for most standard climbing ropes and rigging setups, it is a compact carabiner, so you may find it tighter to use if you are frequently clipping multiple thick ropes or bulky webbing.
