Expert Review
I really like Petzl's locking carabiners. The Sm'D is a great carabiner to pair with your GriGri. It's small, has a smooth action, and comes in a few variants. I love my Twist-Lock versions, but would recommend the Screw-Lock option for newer climbers. This will get you into the habit of confirming your lockers are, in fact, locked.
