A screwgate is the quiet one on the rack. No spring to fight, nothing to rotate by accident against a rock edge: you thread the sleeve down with thumb and forefinger and it stays exactly where you left it.
Our 25kN screwgates share the 4 inch forged D body of the auto-lock line, weigh 2.15 oz, and come in five anodised colours so the anchor, the rappel and the spare never get mixed up.
Around three and a half turns from fully open to fully locked. Screw it down until it seats, then back it off a hair so it will not bind under load.
Screwgates are simpler and never unlock by rubbing against rock; auto-locks save a step and relock on their own. Many climbers carry both: screwgate at the anchor, auto-lock on the belay loop.
Yes. They are UIAA certified at 25kN major axis and 7kN minor axis.
