Rock Exotica RockD ORCA Lock Carabiner
The RockD ORCA Lock from Rock Exotica features a unique gate system that lifts up and twists just like many traditional auto-locks, but can be set to remain in the unlocked position. This allows the gate to open easily, just like a non-locker, but close with the security of an auto-lock.
Because this carabiner can be locked in the open position it isn't an approved carabiner for life support per the ANSI Z133
The ORCA is an enhanced 3-stage mechanism available on Pirate, rockD and rockO carabiners. This unique gate system lifts up and twists just like many traditional auto-locks, but can be set to remain in the unlocked position. This allows the gate—whether you attach the ORCA carabiner immediately, or leave it installed in an anchor to connect a line later, to open easily, just like a non-locker. When it closes, it closes and rotates shut with the safety and surety of a locking carabiner.
- Set to the "ready" position to open gate like a non-locker
- Use ORCA in situations when quick access is required.
