A Karabiner is a specialized type of shackle with a spring-loaded gate used to quickly and reversibly connect components in safety-critical systems.
Twist-lock karabiners have a security sleeve over the gate which must be manually rotated and/or pulled to disengage, but which springs automatically to locked position upon release. They offer the advantage of re-engaging without additional user input, but being spring-loaded are prone to both spring fatigue and their more complex mechanisms becoming balky from dirt, ice, or other contamination.
