FAQs
How often should I inspect my carabiners?
Inspect before and after every climb and regularly during extended use.
What kind of lubricant should I use?
Use a climbing-specific lubricant designed for carabiners.
How do I clean my carabiners?
Use warm water, mild soap, rinse thoroughly, and allow to air dry.
What is the lifespan of a carabiner?
Lifespan depends on use and care. Retire any carabiner that shows signs of wear, damage, or after heavy use, even if it appears to be in good condition. Contact the manufacturer for specific recommendations.
Can I use these carabiners for aid climbing?
Yes, but ensure you select the appropriate carabiner for your planned use and follow all safety protocols. Always check the manufacturer's recommendations.
What should I do if my carabiner gets dropped?
Even if the carabiner appears undamaged, retire it immediately. Dropping a carabiner can cause internal damage not always visible to the eye.
Are the carabiners suitable for use with steel cables?
No. Steel cables may damage or wear out carabiners more quickly.
Troubleshooting
Gate doesn't close properly.
Check for debris or ice in the gate mechanism. Clean and lubricate if necessary. If the issue persists, retire the carabiner.
Carabiner is difficult to clip.
Ensure the gate is clean and not bent. Check the rope and surrounding gear for obstructions. Practice clipping technique.
Gate becomes stiff or difficult to open.
Clean and lubricate the gate and hinge. If the problem persists, the carabiner may be worn and should be retired.
