Shadow Screwgate Carabiner

The DMM Shadow Screwgate is a lightweight, versatile personal locking carabiner designed for the connection points you rely on most. Personal lockers are used wherever size and weight matter just as much as strength, from sling runners to the majority of attachments at belay stances. In a typical two-person climbing team, these are the locking carabiners you’ll use the most, so reliability and ease of handling are essential.

Its offset D shape naturally encourages the carabiner to load along its strongest axis, improving both safety and ergonomics. By extending the top bar, the offset design also increases internal space, making the Shadow Screwgate easier to handle and more compatible with thicker ropes and slings. A clean keylock nose removes the frustration of snagging. By slotting smoothly into the gate, it delivers full strength without a notch, creating a sleek internal profile that won’t catch on bolts, gear, or slings. The result is smoother clipping, cleaner systems, and effortless removal when it matters.

Built using advanced I-Beam construction, the Shadow Screwgate achieves an excellent strength-to-weight ratio without compromise. Hot forging allows the carabiner to be shaped precisely where material is needed most, reducing weight while enhancing performance. The result is a dependable personal locker that feels light on your rack and reassuringly strong in use.
