My comment:

By definition, a locknut is spin-free once tightened. A locknut is either a second nut (contre-écrou) that prevents the first from loosening, or a nut that features a locking mechanism (écrou freiné) such as a plastic insert, a serrated surface, or a wire passing through nut and screw.
