Noob question: Why TWO lockers? I assume we're worried about loading the gate and unclipping (hence the need for TWO opposite and opposed NON-lockers), but isn't that what using a locker is supposed to prevent? I'm not saying its wrong, necessarily. I mean, if you have them, by all means use them, but it just seems superfluous to me.

No doubt! You need at least four (At the most, five, keep reading...). One locker for each anchor and one locker (or maybe 2...see first quote) or two non-lockers for the power point.
If all you had were non-lockers, then, yeah, eight would be nice.
