DMM Director Captive Eye Locksafe Carabiner
The DMM Director Captive Eye Locksafe Carabiner is a compact, high-strength termination connector engineered to maintain optimal major-axis loading in every configuration. Designed for modern arborist lanyards, positioning systems and rope access kits, its captive, textile-friendly eye guarantees correct loading alignment while minimising system length.
Professionals in arboriculture, access and rescue environments benefit from the Director’s extra-short gate, generous loading curve and secure captive eye which prevents rotation or misalignment under load. For recreational climbers, it offers a streamlined, safe and durable connector ideal for personal tethers and fixed lanyards.
