I see they have a "LC-10SX LEVER CLIP FOR SX-SERIES VALVES. The Fumoto lever clip gives you extra security while using Fumoto Valves under normal or unusual conditions. No Tools required! The lever clip can only be installed when the valve is 100% in the closed and locked position." that locks the handle now. That is one of the reasons I would never use one, that and it slows the flow of oil by half. (not worried about someone opening it more if the spring became weak and let the lever open on it's own.)
