In the Bell 206 series and 407 if you think that by turning off the hydraulics you are locking the cyclic and collective in place you are sorely mistaken.....
I never said hyd off would lock the controls, indeed, if it did the helicopter probably wouldn't be certified with single hydraulics. Turning off the hydraulics and the frictions on, would definitely help prevent unwanted movements of the controls.
