This is great cuz you never have to worry about your belayer not locking the gate. I find it a little annoying - you have to pull the screw up, twist it, then you can open the gate. But it is safe! And quite large and durable.

You should try the ball lock, the third action is simply pressing the ball with your thumb and is has a smaller angle between resting and open to twist than the Triact-Lock.
