Which carabiner type uses a twist and pull gate?

• A. Screw gate
• B. Non-locking carabiner
• C. Supersafe carabiner
• D. Auto locking carabiners - twist and pull gate

Answer: (D)

The action described—twist and pull—refers to a locking mechanism built into auto-locking carabiners. In these, you first twist a sleeve to disengage the lock, then pull the gate open. When you release, the sleeve automatically re-locks, helping prevent accidental openings. This two-step, intentional action is what characterizes auto-locking carabiners with a twist-and-pull gate, aligning exactly with the question. Other types don’t fit this pattern. A screw-gate carabiner requires you to manually twist a threaded gate to lock or unlock, but it isn’t the automatic, two-step twist-and-pull action. A non-locking carabiner has no locking mechanism at all, so it doesn’t involve twisting to lock. A brand-name or generic “supersafe” option may be locking, but unless it specifies the twist-and-pull auto-locking design, it isn’t the same mechanism described.
