Black Diamond Oval Keylock Screwgate

The Black Diamond Oval Keylock Screwgate Biner is a versatile connector designed for climbers in both sport and indoor settings. Its simple screwgate mechanism keeps the gate securely closed, making it suitable for attaching ropes, slings or belay devices without the fuss of a more complex locking system. Featuring an oval shape, this carabiner helps keep your rope and gear centered, reducing the chance of awkward loads or twisting. The Keylock nose means you won't catch or snag on slings or bolt hangers when clipping and unclipping, and the 18 mm gate opening provides enough room for most ropes and quickdraws while keeping the profile slim. At just 62 g, it's light enough to carry in a rack without weighing you down. The Keylock system refers to a notch-free gate and nose interface that prevents gear and rope from catching when you clip in or clean. An 18 mm opening strikes a balance between ease of clipping and overall strength, ensuring reliable performance on sport routes and in the gym.
