I have found that the shortest possible locking carabiner is this one, developed for maritime use, typically available in stainless and brass/bronze:

I don't know what the name for it is. Anybody knows?

 

 

In the other end of the lanyard, I use a dog-leash carabiner, as available from Sherrill Tree, in brass/bronze, which is easier to snap on/off using gloves, but doesn't open unintentionally:

Not a crab, but i use a chain link joiner. They are in the ironmongery section of B&Q and are about £3 but if you go to a fastners factor they are pence. I'll post a pic but they are basically look like an oval maillon but about 1 1/2" long with a screw barrel gate if that makes sense? They are made to join light duty chain to other things like wall rings, extend / repair chain fences etc.

 

Hope this makes sense!
