RockO ORCA-Lock Carabiner
RockO is a classic oval shape with ORCA lock gate. (Open Regular Close Auto.) With the gate in the 'set' position it is ready to function like a non-locker but the act of opening the gate "triggers" it. When the gate closes, it will autolock just like a regular autolocking carabiner. Ideal for aerial rescue, complex haul systems, etc.

ORCA-lock Carabiner: Expert Use Only!
The ORCA is an enhanced 3-stage mechanism available on Pirate, rockD and rockO carabiners. This unique gate system lifts up and twists just like many traditional auto-locks, but can be set to remain in the unlocked position. This allows the gate—whether you attach the ORCA carabiner immediately, or leave it installed in an anchor to connect a line later, to open easily, just like a non-locker. When it closes, it closes and rotates shut with the safety and surety of a locking carabiner.
