Petzl Am’D PIN-LOCK Carabiner

The PIN-LOCK system is designed for high-traffic or group environments where you need to prevent unauthorized tampering. Because it requires a specific tool to open the gate, it ensures that the carabiner remains locked and secure unless an authorized operator chooses to open it.

While it is technically a carabiner, the PIN-LOCK mechanism is specialized for managed safety systems, such as ropes courses or industrial settings. It is not designed for standard recreational climbing where you need to open and close the gate quickly and frequently without tools.

Yes, this carabiner is fully compatible with the Petzl CAPTIV positioning bar. Using the bar helps keep the carabiner properly oriented along its major axis, which reduces the risk of cross-loading and improves overall safety.

The Am’D PIN-LOCK weighs 80 grams. Its H-profile construction is specifically engineered to provide an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring it remains durable without adding unnecessary bulk to your setup.

Yes, it features a Keylock system, which is a snag-free design. This ensures that the carabiner won't catch on your harness, ropes, or other gear during operation, making it much smoother to handle.

It has a major axis strength of 27 kN, a minor axis strength of 8 kN, and an open gate strength of 7 kN. These specifications meet CE EN 362, CE EN 12275, and EAC certifications, making it suitable for professional safety applications.
