A locking clip you can trust with your gear

The 5.11 Hardpoint L3 Locking Carabiner is built for the daily grind of tactical and outdoor kit. Rated to 100kg, it confidently carries pouches, bottles, helmets and gear from your pack, belt or plate carrier without the worry of a flimsy hardware-store clip.

Locks down, stays shut

The positive-locking gate is the heart of the design, preventing accidental openings when the carabiner takes a knock or comes under load. Your gear stays exactly where you clipped it.

Tough materials, sure grip

A stainless-steel frame handles rough use and resists corrosion, while an aluminium gate keeps the action smooth. Gimped, textured edges give a positive grip even when wet or wearing gloves, so it is easy to work in poor conditions.

Made for your platform

At roughly 8.45 x 5.08 cm and optimised for MOLLE and HEXGRID, it integrates neatly with your existing loadout. Please note it is a utility carabiner and is not intended for climbing or any life-safety use. Browse more 5.11 tactical gear at Platoon Stores.

Frequently asked questions

How much weight can the Hardpoint L3 hold?

It is rated to 100kg (220lb) for general gear-carrying duty, making it plenty strong for hanging pouches, water bottles, helmets and kit from your pack or belt.

Can I use it for climbing?

No. Like all 5.11 carabiners, the Hardpoint L3 is not intended for climbing or any life-safety application. It is a utility clip for attaching and securing gear only.

What makes the gate secure?

It uses a positive-locking gate that prevents accidental openings, so your gear stays put even when the carabiner is knocked, jostled or under load.

Will it grip with gloves on?

Yes. The gimped, textured edges give confident purchase even when your hands are wet or gloved, so it is easy to operate in the field.

Does it work with my tactical gear?

Yes. It is optimised for MOLLE and HEXGRID platforms and clips easily to backpacks, plate carriers, belts and more.
