A713KTL Aluminium Keylock Twist-Lock Carabiner

The A713KTL has the same listed figures as the screw-gate A713KSG: 25 kN on the major axis, 9 kN for minor-axis and gate-open loading, a 22.5 mm opening and 90 g. The difference is the locking mechanism, a twist-lock sleeve that closes and locks automatically. The body is aluminium alloy with a keylock nose.

Its size and self-locking gate make it practical at belay stations and anchors where several connections are made and broken, and for linking rigging components that need to stay locked between uses.

When choosing between the KTL and KSG versions, buyers should consider how the carabiner will be loaded and how often it will be opened. Power Honour can produce the A713KTL with the brand owner's marking, colour and packaging, and can quote changes to a customer drawing.
