Product information & specifications
DMM PerfectO Locking Carabiner
The DMM PerfectO Locking Carabiner is a compact, true oval connector designed for arborists, climbers and rope access professionals who require precise, stable connections in a smaller form factor. Engineered to minimise eye-to-eye length while maintaining excellent usability, the PerfectO is ideal for systems where space, alignment and efficiency are critical.
The symmetrical oval profile ensures loads are evenly centred, making it particularly effective when used with pulleys, ascenders and rigging devices. This helps improve system stability while reducing unwanted movement during operation.
Unlike many lightweight connectors, the PerfectO features fully rounded rope bearing areas to reduce wear on both the carabiner and rope. I-Beam construction is used only in non-rope-bearing areas, ensuring optimal strength-to-weight performance without compromising durability where it matters most.
As the smallest Locksafe-gated carabiner in the DMM range, and 14mm shorter than the Ultra O, the PerfectO delivers compact performance without sacrificing strength. It is available in multiple gate options and can be supplied with a removable captive bar for added system control.
Key Features
- Compact true oval carabiner for precise system setup
- Minimised eye-to-eye length for efficient rigging and connections
- Symmetrical design for optimal load centring
- Rounded rope bearing surfaces reduce wear on rope and hardware
- I-Beam construction in non-rope bearing areas for weight reduction
- Keylock nose for snag-free clipping and removal
- Available with captive bar option for secure orientation
- Multiple gate options: Screwgate, Kwiklock, Locksafe
- Suitable for arborist climbing, rope access and rescue systems
