Ganne,
Thank you for the feedback. It is true, if enough pressure is placed on these gates, they will open whether intentional or not. If you would like to try one of our KeyRacks where the gates lock on the S-Biner, we would be happy to send you one to try it out. If you have further questions, please contact customer service at info@niteize.com or at 800.678.6483 8-5 M-F MST.
