An old Simond classic from the early sixties.

The BD RockLock is my favorite belaying locker. The screwgate. The twistlocks...I dunno, just don't seem right.
As a workhorse locker there are a bunch of killer new designs out there. They're all good. Hard to pick a fav.
Ain't innovation and technology grand? (Cue Werner with a statement of how it used to be...)

Here's an old notchless-gate PA that might be another contender for least safe.
Major axis 1600kg, minor-axis less than you weigh!

Great ----------"Thread"!!!
Here is the Locker page out of the 1988 Chouinard catalog.
It appears the least purchased Chouinard Locker, due to higher price, was the black anodized Marinabiner.
Does anyone here own one?? How about sharing a photo??
Thanks, Fritz

Here you go Mr. Haan,
Marwa locking carabiner (mid 50's to mid 60's?)
Steve, I think Marwa made a few other items:
Several types of carabiner
Wire ice screw (better cork puller though)
Several types of descenders for rescue applications
And miscellaneous rigging tools
Stubia acquired them sometime in the late 60’s or early 70’s (I think)
But before that they made much of the Marwa gear at their production facilities.

The new Mammut locker is pretty cool, but that old Marwa is a work of art!

Stubai Austria stamped on the other side, no strength ratings. It has a beautiful patina and the screw gate is brass. No wear marks at all anywhere on the carabiner!
