We have a wide range of high-quality carabiners and hooks available here at SafetyLiftinGear.com, and if properly looked after, these products will remain safe to use for a long time.
To keep your carabiners in good working order, follow these steps:
Wash your carabiners frequently.
Use lukewarm tap water (roughly 30°C) and pH neutral washing-up liquid or detergent. Regular cleaning removes dirt and grime that might prevent your carabiners from closing properly or otherwise impede their correct operation. After washing, rinse each carabiner off and leave to dry thoroughly in a dry, well-ventilated area that's out of direct sunlight. (Heat, humidity and sunlight can reduce the working life of your carabiners.) Do not put your carabiners in a washing machine or tumble dryer.
Lubricate the moving parts.
Lubricating the internal mechanisms of each carabiner will keep the product working smoothly. Use a silicone-based oil and avoid products that contain sulphur. Dry any excess oil with a cloth or paper towel, then open and close the carabiner a few times to make sure it is entirely lubricated.
Inspect your carabiners periodically.
Periodic inspection ensures that your carabiners are still in good working order and safe to use. Compose a formal maintenance and inspection schedule to make sure the carabiners are not falling into disrepair.
