The HotForge Straight Gate carabiner is a modernized version of the classic keylock carabiner.
With its straight gate, the HotForge is ideal for attaching bolts and is the toughest carabiner Black Diamond has ever designed.
It has a deeper hooking geometry, while the flat construction on the webbing side ensures that the sling does not twist.0
The larger rope bearing surface makes the carabiner more durable, while the flat areas on the gate reduce accidental gate pops.
Finally, we optimized the geometry of the keylock nose to further improve hooking and unhooking.
