Safety carabiners are used especially for attaching climbers to the rope and for belaying. Some climbers use them on lanyard and while building an anchor. Unlike screw-gate carabiners they have different additional safety features which prevents the gate from opening and usually locks themself automatically - twistlock (double-action), triple-lock and ball-lock (triple action) and even quadruple action carabiners. | Safety carabiners are used especially for attaching climbers to the rope and for belaying.
