Beal Be Link Bi-Matic Locking Carabiner

Double-action auto-locking gate, for lanyard ends and anchors Beal Be Link Bi-Matic: the auto-locking carabiner for your static connections The Be Link Bi-Matic is an asymmetric climbing carabiner with a double-action auto-locking gate: the gate shuts and locks on its own, no extra move from you. The half-closed sleeve, the classic mistake on a screw-lock carabiner, can't happen here. Its asymmetric shape points it at two jobs: clipping the end of your lanyard, and building an anchor. The body stays oriented on its own, and the 20 mm gate opening drops over a ring or an anchor point without a fight. The Keylock nose keeps it from snagging going in or coming out. Beal says it handles easily even with gloves on. On strength: 26 kN on the major axis with the gate closed, 7 kN gate open, 8 kN on the minor axis. All of it at 77 g, in aluminum. A carabiner for static connections only This is the thing to know before you buy it. Beal limits the Be Link Bi-Matic to three situations: the end of a lanyard, building an anchor, and connecting parts of the belay chain that aren't in contact with the rope. In other words, connections where no rope runs through the carabiner. It must not be used where a rope runs through the carabiner: the friction can cause it to open accidentally. Those jobs call for a triple-action auto-locking carabiner. If you're unsure about a setup — clipping a belay device, for instance — check whether the rope ends up rubbing inside the carabiner, and read the instructions for your device. It's certified EN 12275:2013 class B, the standard for mountaineering and climbing connectors, and EN 362:2004 class B, the standard for connectors used as protection against falls from a height. In both, class B means a basic connector for general use. CE marked under Regulation (EU) 2016/425 on PPE. Made by Beal, a French manufacturer based in Isère, France, since 1951.
