Raccoon could open that. Figure if a toddler could fumble it open, so can they.

A hasp lock with a carabiner would be a better option, or anything else that requires a 2 part movement.

Okay got it,
you sound like my GF (general foreman) when I was doing tree work at Wright Tree Service,
they would not allow any carabiner
that would not require two motions to open it, if it was supporting a human life, was a bit different for rigging on trees!
