Biners are intended to work in tension only. Thats how they are tested and rated. The situation you have described is introducing bending(leverage) to the Biner. This is not good, how much force it will take before failure with depend on many factors only some of which I am aware of. One thing you can be certain of is that it will be less than what it can take purely in tension. I think having a locking screw gate will add little difference for bending forces. I think a better solution in this case would be passing a sling through the ring and clipping it with a biner.
