Carabiners 4 Years, 8 Months ago  
I've heard it said that carabiners used between the delta and the figure eight on a bight should be placed down and out. I think that means the hinge is up so the screw lock will stay down by gravity. I only use auto locking biners for life safety. Does the down and out rule apply since gravity on the screw lock doesn't play into this? Would down and out apply to auto locks as well and which way is down and out for autolocking biners?
