Hi all, I have a couple of Metolius locking steel carabiners. I'm wondering whether I can leave them up on an anchor---or if doing so will make them seize up. Since the anchor is only used for TR-ing (and I don't mind people TR-ing straight off the hardware in this case), it would be cool to have lockers for people to use, but obviously not if they're just going to just become a closed system within the year.
Carbon steel quick links are bad for needing to be cut off. I have not had that experience with stainless ones. Stainless shackles maybe even less likely to be a problem . The standard ones need a method to retain a loose pin like stainless safety wire. For the ones like team tough/ bolt products sell you would need a supply of stainless cotter pins.
