Locking Carabiner Swivel Snap Hardware

Do you have a dog who mysteriously is able to shake loose of a regular leash snap? This is the solution!  

Fabricated exclusively for our workshop, these beautiful solid brass leash snaps have a secure locking mechanism. 

Unlike spring gate dog leash hardware (the kind where the gate swings in), this one will not pop off the dog’s collar/harness when twisted. Furthermore, unlike traditional bolt snaps (the kind where the lever pulls down to open the gate), it will not accidentally release if caught on brush, nor will it be shaken loose when used properly. 

Hardware only: If you are purchasing just the snap, please select “hardware only.” Receive our pro discount when you order 6-packs.

Add to my leash order: Modify a new leash order by selecting this option. The snap will replace the standard hardware on the “dog end” of the leash; we'll use brass for any other hardware on the leash. This add-on price is only valid when REPLACING another piece of hardware.

Size

Size refers to the width of the strap that fits through the eye

• Small 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) petite size for small dogs under 30 pound

• XL 3/4 inch (19.5 mm) heavy gauge snap

How to use:

How to use:

1. Spin the lock to open (clockwise) and release the gate
2. Snap onto the dog’s collar or harness
3. Spin the lock closed (counterclockwise) to secure the gate
4. Always spin the lock completely closed when in use on the dog’s collar or harness to ensure the snap is locked*

*Caution! Do not use the snap in the “open” unlocked position. This snap must be fully locked closed when in use. Failure to spin the gate lock closed may cause the hook to bend out of alignment and fail. The lock sheath reinforces the hook part of the snap to make it secure. BLD’s leash warranty assumes proper use of this snap.
