Clip it. Lock it. Forget about it.
Best For: Anyone who's left a bag unattended in a café, hostel, or train and hoped it'd still be there when they got back.
- Carabiner speed when you need it - Spring gate clips on in half a second
- Key-locked when you don't - Turn the key. The gate won't open. Not with fingers, not with tools.
- Aircraft-grade aluminum - 7075-T6 alloy. The same stuff they build planes from
- Stops grab-and-go theft - Deadbolt mechanism can't be squeezed or tugged open
- Lighter than your keys - 55 g, fits in a palm
- Two keys included - One to carry. One to stash at home
- Pairs with the BetaLock™ Accessory Cable - secure lockers, helmets, or multiple zippers
*Available in 7 colors: Black, Matte Black, Shadow Green, Canyon Orange, Gold, Metal.

Picture this: You're at a café in Lisbon. Your bag is on the next chair. You turn to order coffee. With a regular carabiner, someone squeezes the gate and your bag walks. With the BetaLock? They'd need your key.
Two modes. One piece of gear. - Gate open: it's a carabiner. Clip your bag to a chair, your bottle to your pack. Turn the key: it's a deadbolt. Done.
Not a padlock with a clip. - It's a carabiner with a lock built in. No dangling shackle, no combo to forget, no shape that screams "lock me first."
For travelers who don't want to think about it - Hostel dorms, train stations, café chairs, festival tents. Anywhere you'd normally leave a hand on your bag.
The old setup hurt - Cable lock the size of your forearm. Combination padlock with a pull-tab. Both look like loot. Both come off with a 30-second YouTube tutorial.
REAL QUESTIONS FROM REAL TRAVELERS

"Will this actually stop someone from opening it?" "What if it breaks?" "How much does it actually weigh?" |
