A carabiner includes a body having a first arm extending from the body and a second arm extending from the body, a first gate pivotally coupled to the body adjacent the first arm for movement relative to the first arm, and a second gate pivotally coupled to the body adjacent the second arm for movement relative to the second arm. The carabiner also includes a blocking member supported by the body. The blocking member is movable between a first position, in which the first and the second gates are movable relative to the first and second arms, a second position, in which the first gate is inhibited from moving relative to the first arm and the second gate is movable relative to the second arm, and a third position, in which the first and the second gates are inhibited from moving relative to the first and second arms.

1. A carabiner comprising: a body including a first arm extending from the body and a second arm extending from the body;a first gate pivotally coupled to the body adjacent the first arm for movement relative to the first arm;a second gate pivotally coupled to the body adjacent the second arm for movement relative to the second arm; anda blocking member supported by the body, the blocking member movable between a first position, in which the first and the second gates are movable relative to the first and second arms, a second position, in which the first gate is inhibited from moving relative to the first arm and the second gate is movable relative to the second arm, and a third position, in which the first and the second gates are inhibited from moving relative to the first and second arms. 2. The carabiner of claim 1, wherein the blocking member is rotatable between the first, second, and third positions. 3. The carabiner of claim 1, wherein the body includes a central portion located between the first and second arms. 4. The carabiner of claim 3, wherein the blocking member is supported by the central portion of the body. 5. The carabiner of claim 3, wherein the first and second arms extend in substantially opposite directions from the central portion of the body. 6. The carabiner of claim 1, wherein the blocking member includes a first finger and a second finger, wherein the first finger selectively engages the first gate to inhibit movement of the first gate, and wherein the second finger selectively engages the second gate to inhibit movement of the second gate. 7. The carabiner of claim 6, wherein each of the first and second gates includes an inner surface, and wherein the first finger and the second finger selectively engage the inner surface of the first gate and the inner surface of the second gate, respectively, to inhibit movement of the first and second gates. 8. The carabiner of claim 7, wherein the inner surface of the second gate includes a recess that provides clearance for the second finger when the blocking member is in the second position. 9. The carabiner of claim 1, wherein the blocking member is positioned within a volume defined by the body when in the first position, and wherein portions of the blocking member extend outwardly from the volume defined by the body when in the second and third positions. 10. The carabiner of claim 1, further comprising a lock mechanism coupled to the blocking member, wherein the lock mechanism is actuatable to move the blocking member between the first, second, and third positions. 11. The carabiner of claim 10, wherein the lock mechanism includes a tubular lock that is configured to receive a key, and wherein the tubular lock is actuatable by the key to move the blocking member between the first, second, and third positions. 12. A carabiner comprising: a body including central portion, a first arm extending from the central portion, and a second arm extending from the central portion in a substantially opposite direction than the first arm;a first gate pivotally coupled to the central portion adjacent the first arm for movement relative to the first arm;a second gate pivotally coupled to the central portion adjacent the second arm for movement relative to the second arm; anda lock mechanism supported by the central portion of the body, the lock mechanism including a tubular lock configured to receive a key, and a blocking member coupled to the tubular lock, the tubular lock being actuatable by the key to move the blocking member between a first position, in which the first and the second gates are movable relative to the first and second arms, a second position, in which the first gate is inhibited from moving relative to the first arm and the second gate is movable relative to the second arm, and a third position, in which the first and the second gates are inhibited from moving relative to the first and second arms. 13. The carabiner of claim 12, wherein the blocking member is rotatable between the first, second, and third positions. 14. The carabiner of claim 12, wherein the blocking member includes a first finger and a second finger, wherein the first finger selectively engages an inner surface of the first gate to inhibit movement of the first gate, and wherein the second finger selectively engages an inner surface of the second gate to inhibit movement of the second gate. 15. The carabiner of claim 14, wherein the inner surface of the second gate includes a recess that provides clearance for the second finger when the blocking member is in the second position. 16. The carabiner of claim 12, wherein the blocking member is positioned within a volume defined by the central portion of the body when in the first position, and wherein portions of the blocking member extend outwardly from the volume defined by central portion of the body when in the second and third positions.
