Carabiner has a spring-loaded door that opens under finger pressure, making it easy to clip it to climbing gear, such as a rope. A spring inside the carabiner keeps the door closed. The door is pushed open with a finger to clip a string or device to it, then released. The spring allows the mouth to close quickly. Carabiners have the most excellent load-carrying capacity when the trailhead is closed, and climbers generally use locking carabiners to ensure that the attachment doesn’t come off the carabiner.
