The HotForge Straight Gate Carabiner is a modern take on the classic keylock carabiner. Purpose built for the bolt-side of quickdraws, the HotForge is the durable bolt-side carabin er Black Diamond has built, while its straight gate makes clipping bolts nice and easy. Featuring a hot forged construction—allowing us to remove weight where it’s not needed and add material where durability is key—the HotForge has a deeper basket for better clipping, while the hinge-end basket is flatter to ensure the webbing of quickdraws stays put. A larger rope bearing surface adds durability for the carabiner, while the flats on the gate reduce the likelihood of the gate opening accidentally.
