Default Pops up /flip up cleats, which way to mount them?

Got those but wondering what is the best way to mount them?
do you prefer them flipping from insite towards outside? Line pulling them up till the stopper stops
or the other way around so when lines are pulling the pivoting cleat?

Me personally, I'd mount them to open to the outside.

I agree from both a functional and cosmetic perspective I think they look better….

Laces out! Kidding aside I think open towards the outside is the way.

Ok thanks
i was not too sure how they were stronger with lines pulling on!

you never know. Install the wrong way and you end up breaking the cleat ans the company says like
what were you thinking!!! Of course you break them when mounted backwards !

ask twice, drill once
is always better!
thanks again!
