Starlight Outdoor Education-Ropes Course Equipment

Aluminum Carabiners

We carry three different types of locking styles. Screw-gate which is self explanatory, and auto locking either 2-stage or 3-stage. 2-stage you twist the barrel and open the gate. 3-stage you have to pull down on the barrel, then twist it, and finally open the gate. We offer these style in certain steel and certain aluminum carabiners.
