Excellent locking carabiner—strong, lightweight, and easy to use.
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 6 colours: Matte Black, Shadow Green, Canyon Orange, Gold, Metal, and Orchid.
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.

A high quality product for everyday use. Excellent!!
Great item and durable
I bought the betalock previously and i encountered some limitations when i used for the last overseas trip to lock my luggages using other type of cable. Finally, i ordered the betalock cables online and i found that it works well with my Betalock to secure my luggages in my next overseas trips. Thank you, Nitecore for this innovative products.
My 2nd purchase but in a different colour. Acts well as a lock and to hang items. Very durable!
It perfectly fit on my goruck g2 40l. thanks
Goes well with the Metador BetaLock! Very good length to accomadate items to be lock. The stainless steel braided core is very versatile
I am amazed with the Beta lock and it comes very useful with my office and travel backpack. It helps me to secure my backpack and other carry-on bags so that I will not lose them. I also see that it can be used to secure bicycles, camera, etc. Thank you very much for this innovative and useful products.
Item received the next day after payment!Very swift!The Metador is very sleek,finish quality is top notch. Very good buy indeed!Love the keys :)
Super
The perfect, versatile companion to the BetaLock. I ordered the BetaLock Accessory Cable to be used with the BetaLock that I purchased a while ago. I'm mostly using this combo to secure all of our luggage together at our travel destinations—and it works great! It seems pretty versatile though so I could also see us using it for locking up snowboards and other adventure gear. BONUS: The silicone storage loop is actually a pretty clever design, and helps keep the cord organized when it's not being used. Overall, very stoked on this simple little device. 10/10
Great quality lock, hefty I might say. Can't wait to use it.
Small, simple, and genuinely useful. I use these on planes to hang my waterbottle, and in bathrooms so my bag isn't touching the floor.
Great Item It's sturdy and locks items well
Handy & Versatile Carabiner. This is my 2nd purchase. I have been using them for travel and especially international travel as a safety zipper lock with a key chain ring for my cross-body sling bag. They're very convenient to lock and to unlock. Last trip, I have used it as a hanger for my backpack on the back of the chair in front of me in a plane. It came in handy to reach for stuffs inside the backpack.
Awesome Design. Love how multifunctional it is and how it doesn't look like a normal padlock
Repeat Purchase. Versatile and great for travel. Have used it as a safety lock on a zipper of a cross body sling bag. Found another use as a hanger on the back of the seat in a plane.
Great quality nifty product!
Added Layer of Confidence. I got this to secure my backpack in cafes, parks, and other places where I’d set down my bag next to me or on a seat at my table while eating or whatever. The Betalock gives me more confidence that my bag is safe from grab & go opportunists. Great product, Matador!
Practical and Cool. Very cool and practical, I always have some kind of carabiner on my bag for hanging things.
Me gusta, me encanta y me fascina 😃👍🏻
Well made product. Exactly what I expect from Matador.
A great little tool for securing a bag (for me this means stopping a bag from rolling around a sail boat’s cabin as we tack).
BetaLock Metal. Gets the job done.
Great accessory. Works very well with the beta lock
Impressed. This is a legit high end product!
Cool and useful. It's really handy since you can use it as a regular Carabiner if it's unlocked, unlike most other locks where you have to use a key to open them each time. People also don't expect it to lock which is good for keeping items secure. It also looks like it would be harder to cut through than branded wire so that might help deter thieves. If I'm going somewhere crowded, I have a backpack that has locking zippers and metal running through the handle; I was able to lock it to a chair using the beta lock. Really happy I bought it.
Does what it needs to do while remaining stylish. I haven't gone to the full lengths of using this product yet, but I am certain that through the years I will find a way to utilize this in ways that will be most useful. The item feels very durable and has this build quality of longevity. Will update my review if anything comes up that's worth noting.
Quality, but I know I’ll lose the keys
This is a great lockable carabiner. And the color is so pretty.
Fantastic. Hooked instantly. Fantastic. I didn't know there was a locking caribiner. I was hooked (see what I did there). Perfect for cycling and tethering up my helmet. Plus, in screaming orange to match out with iPhone17 Pro...killer!
Bought 1 previously and this is my second. Would get another if it was needed
Great Quality. Light but good quality
Light but good quality
Really cool lock!

Great lock. But…universal key. Great lock. Very useful. But they all use the same key so anyone with one can open one.
Good Business
Motorcycle helmet lock. Needed a lock for my motorcycle helmet and this fit the bill.
Well designed, works great
