IMPORTANT – DMM Product Safety Warning 11-Sep-2015

[Tuebor]

From the DMM Professional website:

It has come to our attention that the locking mechanisms of some DMM locking carabiners are developing a dysfunction.

In a small percentage of carabiners, the interaction between the internal coil spring (which gives the gate it’s closing action) and the spring pusher (the component that holds the spring against the carabiner body) may cause the spring pusher to displace, potentially preventing the gate from closing
or the mechanism from locking completely.

This has raised obvious safety concerns, and we are taking this step to ensure the safety of the users of DMM carabiners. This only affects certain batches of the carabiners listed below:

Thanks brother. I have lots. I'll check the serial numbers tomorrow.

No Ultra-Os listed, which is probably the most commonly used here.

Mostly Ultra-Ds, Aeros, and Boas, plus a few others.

Thanks I think I'm good also but I will give them all a good look tomorrow also. Mostly O's and Revolvers in my kit.

Thank you for posting this, I am going to copy and paste this into the general forum as I barely stumbled across it. I have one of the Steel ovals that fall within the serial # range, which is working just like new flawlessly.
