Every Pull Down Awning that I have seen comes complete with the best locking device ever as standard equipment!
The pull down Rod is in itself the locking device!
The only thing that they forgot to include is a pair of Bungee Cords to keep it from falling off!
Insert the straight L into the accessory hole on the trailing end of the Awning Roller. bungee the Loop end to the Rafter so that it won't drop off and You are good to go!
I use the same method. I did rebend the end of my rod so there is about 6 inches that goes into the Awning Roller. I tie the handle end of the rod to the Awning arm with a large tie wrap. Serves two purposes. Holds rod in place and keeps awning rod folded.
Now I always know where my awning rod is and a handy useful place to store it.
