Product Description
The rockD is the carabiner of choice when seeking the highest strength in a standard-sized aluminum frame. The rockD in non-lanyard versions features a flattened shape with an i-beam profile at the bottom and top bends, giving the carabiner a sleek profile, while providing low weight and high strength characteristics.
Two important features make the Rock Exotica Screw-lock unique from all others. First, all aluminum parts are anodized. This is particularly important for the screw-sleeve and gate, since without this coating, it is more susceptible to corrosion. This protective surface also gives the sleeve a smoother spin.
Second, the gate was designed with an enlarged flange at the top. This prevents the screw-sleeve from moving past the end of the gate, whereas with other designs, the sleeve can wear past the last thread of the gate and slip off.
- Features all anodized parts for smooth operation and increased longevity
- Gate design prevents screw-sleeve from detaching from gate
- Snag-resistant keylock nose design
- Large and ergonomic angled gate opening

The rockD Twist-lock carabiner utilizes a two-stage gate mechanism which is ideal for repetitive use, or for rapid deployment or detach. *Note that the twist-lock action is more easily opened un-intentionally than a 3-stage auto-lock or Screw-lock. Proper training and adherence to safety standards for your industry is required.
The Twist-lock (2-stage) carabiner, is a quick-detachable alternative to a screwlock or 3-stage autolocker. Requiring only a twist in the sleeve to open, it makes for an ideal locking carabiner to use in situations where equipment or personnel require rapid deployment or disconnection. In fall protection situations where the carabiner is repeatedly attached and detached, the twistlock can save time and help prevent hand fatigue by shortening the steps to disconnect.
Note that by nature, the twistlock carabiner is more easily opened unintentionally than a 3-stage Autolock or Screwlock. Proper training and adherence to safety standards for your industry is required.
- Twist-lock is useful for situations of repeated clipping and unclipping
- Gate action is quick to connect/disconnect
The 3-stage Autocking carabiner features a pull-down and twist action — a motion that’s more intuitive and natural for your hand than lifting up and away from your palm.
We identified several surfaces where ropes and lanyards can be held up by the edges of the gate and sleeve, which can lead to dangerous cross-loading. The auto-lock gate sleeve is designed with beveled edges to minimize this risk and provide a smoother interior for interaction with the materials connected to the carabiner.
- Ergonomic pull-down and twist action
- Beveled edges provide smooth operating surfaces
- Large and ergonomic angled gate opening
The rockD Lanyard Pin carabiner helps prevent gear from moving past the end of the carabiner. When the potential for dangerous leverage or cross-loading can occur, the removable stainless steel pin keeps the carabiner oriented correctly, and the gear where it belongs. The Lanyard Pin is available on the rockD in 3 stage auto-lock.
The rockD Lanyard Pin is a specialized carabiner designed for attachment to lanyards or hardware to prevent cross loading of the gate. Our exclusive design enables the lanyard pin to be removed, allowing the user to attach the carabiner to any object. Offered in 3-stage, auto-lock version only.
- Utilizes easy to remove stainless steel pin
- Install gear or lanyards with the the peace of mind of a secure, semi-permanent capture
- Use as a standard, full-strength carabiner by removing the pin
