Upon release the levers pull shut and into the locked position against a small steel insert in the carabiner nose. With the gate open the magnets in the two levers repel each other so they do not lock or stick together, which might prevent the gate from closing properly.
How does a locking carabiner work?
Locking carabiners have gates that can be locked in the closed position to provide extra protection against accidental gate openings. They feature either a manual (a.k.a. screw-lock) or auto-locking system. Screw-lock gates require the user to manually screw the sleeve onto the gate to lock it.
How many gates does a carabiner have?
These carabiners have two gates that open on opposite ends, creating a sort of lock that requires special pressure to open.
