Well, on the 737 (I used to fly them), where there are both hydraulics as well as cables, the steering column is well known to kick one in the balls again and again in tailwind with hyd pressure off. To counteract the stab trim is often placed full forward, but the 737 surely has no locks. They may be present on some aircraft but not on them all.
