Worked For Me

Unique design but has fit every belay device I tried in it from grigri to tubular devices to other assisted belays

Anti-cross/gate Loading

This carabiner lets me use my grigri without having to worry about cross-loading while focusing on my climber

Pretty Good

This carabiner is annoying to load with a grigri, but nice once you’ve got it on. It prevents crossloading very well, especially for lead belaying. A grigri is supposed to be loaded in the small end, which is tricky to get in because the gate controls the divider part.

Great.

Carabiner works as it should. Currently using it for indoor climbing.

My Grandson Wanted These For

My grandson wanted these for Christmas and told me where to buy them. Thank you so very much!!

Muy Util

Al principio un poco difícil de usar pero después resulta muy útil para mantener en su posición y asegurar con más precisión.

Excellent Cross Load Prevention

Really like this carabiner to prevent cross loading when I’m belaying and doing top rope solo. Easy functionality to place the device into the anti cross loading location.

Stop Waiting And Just Buy It

I do not know why I waited so long to buy this carabiner for my Grigri. My local climbing gym recently mandated that all lead belaying had be done using a brake assisted device and I just got so tired of the "normal" locker bouncing around and getting sideways. Since my device just lives in my gym bag, I bought one of these to keep them together all times and it has made belaying much easier and enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Gridlock Screwgate

Really great addition to the rack. The perfect carabiner for belaying your friends at the crag

One Less Thing To Worry About

It's nice to not have to think about the possibility of cross-loading when belaying. Works perfectly with my grigri

Great Belay Option!

I bought a few of these and it has definitely helped make belaying easier. My wife is still new to the sport and it's one less thing she has to focus on while learning.

Perfect Carabiner For Grigri

i love this carabiner when belaying, keeps my grigri from becoming twisted

Great Carabiner And Cool Design

I love the tab that keeps the belay loop at the bottom to prevent cross loading.

Good Deal

A basic design with ease of functionality makes this a fool proof item for its intended purpose. Nothing over complicated, light weight and strong. Why bother with anything else?

Perfect For The Belay Loop

This carabiner is exactly what I wanted. Everything the Description says is accurate about this carabiner. Would highly recommend this product.
