HotForge Screwgate Carabiner

A pack of three HotForge Screwgate Carabiners can go a long way in anyone's climbing quiver. You can use all three and only a climbing rope to create an anchor for yourself and a belay station for your second, or you can add a sling or two to make a standard anchor station. Despite being compact in your backpack, each carabiner's nose is wide enough to accept clove hitches.

  • Three locking carabiners complete your climbing anchor setup
  • Hot forged for a lighter weight
  • Compact design has a nose large enough for clove hitches
  • Keylock nose prevents snagging while cleaning
  • Standard screw gate is simple and secure

With some locking mechanisms the

With some locking mechanisms the gate can be finicky, catching on a not fully twisted lock. This is not the case here. Very user friendly and the twist locks are just that, a smooth lock and unlock. I’m quite satisfied

Go to lockers

These are my favorite lockers for so many things. To me they are the perfect size for things. I keep a couple large carabiners on hand too but these hot forge lockers are definitely the move.

Easy to use & feels secure - the basket is a good size for weight.

I've been using these for anchor-building, and the screwgate makes me feel secure. They're lightweight, and I don't feel burdened by them at all. I would probably get a bigger one for something like lead belaying, but for anchors, rappels, etc. , these have been solid.

Love these

These are awesome for building anchors while rock climbing or using as a locking alpine QuickDraw for ice climbing as a backup to a V-thread or No-thread.

Hot forge screwgate

I use these for both rope rescue and for climbing. I do a lot of work involving multiple ropes and tools in the air and having a smaller locker that is still rated both declutters and maintains the confidence I need in my equipment. In climbing it is phenomenal for my multi pitch scenarios again reducing clutter in bolt holes as well as being light enough that it’s not a burden to climb with. These are some of my favorite small screw locks I own. And have been using this lineup since 2017!
