Description

Unique auto-locker with easy operation

The Rock Exotica rockO ORCA-Lock features a unique autolock sleeve/gate that can be set in the unlocked position. When you open the gate it is just like opening a non-locker, but the act of opening the gate “triggers” it and when the gate closes it will autolock just like a regular autolocking carabiner. Made in USA.

WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including nickel acetate, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer. For more information go to: www.p65warnings.ca.gov

How it works: The bottom of the sleeve has a special recess for the rivet head so that when the sleeve is rotated open (with the gate closed) it will be held in the open position. When the gate is opened far enough, the sleeve hits the frame and is pushed up a little so that it is no longer held open by the rivet head. It rotates a little bit so that it is now acting like a regular autolock and when the gate is closed it will lock.
Can you use it like a regular autolocker? Yes, if you don't set it to the unlocked position you can just open it like a regular autolock (lift up, twist and open) and when you let the gate close it will autolock. However, you'll probably seldom do this because having it unlocked when not in use is a tremendous convenience.
