To open it, the jack simply has to be pushed inwards. This enables an easy clipping of the snapgate carabiner when you are in a hurry. Wherever there is no need for permanent belay devices, snapgate carabiners come handy - just as for intermediate connection points. One or ideally good range of snapgate carabiners should be a part of every well-equipped climbing gear!
