Orbit Lock
Description
- A lightweight and compact locking carabiner for anchors and rigging
- New screw gate is lightweight and easy to handle
- Optimized design increases strength without increasing weight
- Slim nose profile features our proprietary SphereLock closure
- Laser etched marking to indicate if the lock is open or closed
The body design of the Orbit Lock adds strength and rigidity while maintaining a truly utilitarian size for everything from anchors and rigging to attaching auto-blocking belay devices where a compact D tends to fit better than larger HMS style carabiners. The proprietary SphereLock nose makes clipping ropes, webbing, chains and pro easy.

CAMP Locking Carabiners for 2020
The UIAA equipment standard provides a baseline for equipment performance in a test lab under controlled conditions on new equipment. Although these test conditions are relevant to the conditions encountered climbing, conditions encountered at the crags and the condition of the equipment are equally important. This recommendation from the UIAA member federation The British Mountaineering Council (BMC) provides vital equipment information that is NOT explicitly addressed in the standard, particularly failure modes of the equipment and recommendations for the use, inspection, maintenance, and retirement of equipment.
A pictoral representation of UIAA-121 and EN-12275 standards for connectors (the UIAA's fancy word for carabiners).
