KONG HMS CLASSIC TWIST LOCK | Aluminum Locking Carabiner

The KONG HMS CLASSIC TWIST LOCK is a professional-grade aluminum carabiner designed for technical rescue, industrial rope access, climbing, and work-at-height applications. Its wide, pear-shaped HMS body provides ample internal space for belaying, anchoring, and connecting compatible rope equipment.

Featuring a two-action automatic twist-lock sleeve, the HMS CLASSIC provides secure gate closure without requiring manual screw-locking. KONG's Keylock system eliminates the traditional snagging tooth at the gate and nose, helping prevent ropes, webbing, and attachment hardware from catching during connection and removal.

The wide HMS profile is particularly suitable for belaying with a clove hitch and can be used with compatible anchoring and belaying systems. Its aluminum alloy construction combines durability with lightweight performance for professional climbing and rescue operations.

Developed and manufactured in Italy, each HMS CLASSIC TWIST LOCK carabiner is individually tested for quality and reliability.
