The lock wrap is a conventional wrap. It just encapsulates the guide frame with 3 wraps of thread then coated. I did an experiment and bent the guide to sh*t while the non lock eventually pulled out. One way to sustain a guide with a non lock wrap is when you epoxy the wrap wipe the frame with brush as it spin nd the epoxy will form a neat gusset up against the front of guide frame. Larger KT guides where the lock wrap gets bunchy looking, the gusset accomplishes the extra hold.
