I use Velcro straps to hold the sliding support bars shut on ours. If the bars can't open, the awning can't open. Also leave the switch in Up position.
Velcro straps and the small locks/clips will do nothing if the right wind angle comes along. This happened with our 5th wheel on a Texas backroad, thankfully. The awning & roller flew off and the arms stayed on the RV in the correct position. We were so thankful we weren't on an interstate because it was like a torpedo. After that we searched and found the 'awning lock' on the internet.
