Easy Release separation link NEW!
The system convinces by low construction height, easy handling and durable, safe operation.
The Easy Release separation link can be easily attached to the paraglider risers if the Easy Release ring clip can be looped in instead of the Brummel hook. If this is not possible, the original speed system line must be replaced with the speed system line with ring clip of the Easy Release system |

With a weight of only 45 g and a breaking load of more than 25 kN, the UNILOCK is currently the lightest and at the same time most loadable paragliding carabiners on the market. In the fatigue test, it endured 2.000 load cycles with an upper load of 252 DaN and subsequently 5 mio. load cycles with an upper load of 115,4 DaN. The UNILOCK thus achieves a fatigue strength of 5 years in mono use.

The next generation paragliding carabiner is not only useful for emergency water landings and high wind conditions on the ground, its quick-release function also makes it possible to prevent dangerous interactions between the reserve and the paraglider and to make use of the possibility to steer the reserve.

Complex processing of high quality materials
The sophisticated forging process enables the Paralock 3 to be manufactured with a high surface quality despite the high degree of deformation. The forging of the high-strength material Titanal provides additional material reinforcement, resulting in a low weight of only 75 g with a breaking load of 2.8 kN. The steel parts are made of hardened chrome steel, the plastic parts are made of the oil-resistant and low-wear plastic POM, and the swivel lever has a hard-anodised coating for low-friction dry running.
Proven fatigue strength
Unlike conventional paragliding carabiners, the Paralock’s lock is form-fit, so the dynamic stress relevant to material fatigue in flight is only a fraction. It has survived the fatigue test of 2.000 load changes at 525 DaN top load and then 5 million load changes at 240,5 DaN at an accredited materials testing institute without damage. This is equivalent to 5 years of tandem operation with unlimited flight hours. The maximum recommended service life for mono paragliding use is 8 years, with no risk of material fatigue even with extended use.
Video Paralock field tests
The Paralock has undergone extensive field testing during its development.
A 47-second video shows how easy it is to disconnect the paraglider after an emergency parachute deployment.
Discount for Paralock 1 customers
We would like to thank the more than 700 pilots who have bought a pair of the Paralock pre-series over the past three years. It is only through this and their valuable feedback that the development of the project has been possible. As promised at the launch, these pilots can now buy a pair of the new Paralock 3 at half price from FINSTERWALDER & CHARLY with proof of purchase.

Accessories:
A speed system separation link is required to allow complete disconnection of the paraglider when a quick release carabiner is operated. The speed system separation link is activated automatically when the carabiner is opened. CHARLY offers three types of speed system separation links:
