The rockD Auto-lock offers impressive strength in a compact stainless steel frame. We construct the rockD stainless with all stainless steel components, optimizing the rockD for the harshest of environments.
ROCK 'D'
STAINLESS
The rockD Stainless is the right choice for a strong, compact carabiner, tough enough to hold up in the harshest of environments. The narrow, asymmetric "D" shape concentrates the load along the spine, which maximizes the strength of the carabiner along the major axis.
Not only is the frame made from stainless steel, but also the components within the carabiner. Each piece will resist corrosion far beyond the equivalent materials found in other non-stainless carabiners.
The rockD features several unique Rock Exotica design elements: snag-resistant keylock nose design, lock-status indicator, precision machined frame, and an angled gate for maximum gate opening.

AUTO-LOCK
GATE MECHANISM
The 3-stage Autocking carabiner features a pull-down and twist action — a motion that’s more intuitive and natural for your hand than lifting up and away from your palm.
We identified several surfaces where ropes and lanyards can be held up by the edges of the gate and sleeve, which can lead to dangerous cross-loading. The auto-lock gate sleeve is designed with beveled edges to minimize this risk and provide a smoother interior for interaction with the materials connected to the carabiner.
