From Altrec Outdoors:
"Designed for critical anchor points, the William Triact features an intuitive three-part gate locking system that almost eliminates the possibility of an accidental opening. The three steps consist of pushing up on the sleeve, turning the sleeve, and pushing open the gate. The procedure is easy enough to do with gloves, but nearly impossible to accomplish accidentally."

From RockCreek:
"The Petzl William Triact Locking Carabiner is one of the best suited biners for double rope belaying, guiding, or when using a munter hitch. With a huge wide top, and large opening gate, you can get a ton of webbing, cordelette or rope inside, which is awesome for belay stations with clients or friends. The pear shape of the biner allows for belaying with a Munter Hitch on single or double ropes. The key lock nose and gate is super efficient with no snagging and makes for clipping into anything very easy and clean. The Triact gate is an automatic locking system that ensures you have locked your biner without having to do it manually."

"The William Triact is the twist-lock version of the William series. These are HMS carabiners, designed to take a Munter hitch easily (with a name like "William", it is clearly designed for us folks named William ;) ). The locking sleeve is used by lifting then twisting the sleeve."
