FAQs
Is this carabiner suitable for climbing?
No, this carabiner is explicitly *not* suitable for climbing or any form of load-bearing activity. It is designed only for accessory attachment.
What is the weight limit of this carabiner?
The product information does not specify a weight limit, but it is an accessory carabiner and should not be used for supporting significant weight. Use it only for light items.
How do I secure the screw gate?
To secure the gate, simply twist the threaded sleeve until it is fully closed against the carabiner body. Ensure it is tight before relying on it.
What material is the Highlander Basilisk Carabiner made of?
It is made from lightweight aluminum.
What is the diameter of the carabiner wire?
The carabiner has a 6mm diameter.
Can I use this to attach my keys?
Yes, this is an ideal use case. You can attach your keys to a belt loop or backpack strap using the screwgate.
How should I clean the carabiner?
Wipe it clean with a damp cloth. Ensure the screw gate threads are clean and dry before storing or using.
Troubleshooting
Screw gate is stiff or difficult to turn.
Ensure the gate and its threads are clean and free of dirt or grit. A small amount of dry lubricant (like graphite or a silicone-based lubricant) can be applied sparingly to the threads if necessary, but avoid over-lubricating.
Carabiner feels loose even when screwed shut.
Check that the gate is fully screwed in until it stops. If the issue persists, there might be damage to the threads, and the carabiner should be retired from service.
Carabiner is bent or shows signs of deformation.
Immediately stop using the carabiner. Any deformation indicates it has been subjected to forces beyond its intended capacity, and it is unsafe for further use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Highlander Basilisk Carabiner requires no setup. Simply screw the gate open to attach your item, then screw it shut to secure. Ensure the gate is fully closed and locked before releasing the item.
Compatibility: This carabiner is designed to clip onto D-rings, loops, and webbing found on most backpacks, belts, and bags. The 6mm diameter opening may limit compatibility with very thick straps or large objects.
