Carabiners are typically oval loops of metal with one side that opens referred to as a "gate." They have a variety of uses in climbing. Locking carabiners, with a gate that closes with another metallic portion to lock shut, are used primarily to belay, to set up anchoring systems, and to do work on climbing walls. Non -ocking carabiners are what's used for quickdraw protection for lead climbing, hauling gear, attaching gear to your harness or pack for transport, and other functions where bodily safety is not at stake.
