CAAIP:
CAP562 Civil Aircraft Airworthiness Information & Procedures.
Leaflet 2-5 Locking and Retaining Devices Section 7 contains the information I think you are looking for.
You can download the current issue of CAAIP here - its a 7.8mb file but it makes good reading for those who really need to know the stuff it contains.

Surely this is taught how to do correctly at a very early stage of basic technical training ? If in doubt, ASK 
I have never forgotten, even after moving on to more exalted ( ? ) positions in aviation.

An old sarcastic chief engineer (any guesses who?) at Bristows years ago, explained that wire locking was there:-
1. So that you didnt loose the individual parts if they came undone.
2.Even if you 'anti lock' the parts they can only come 1/2 a turn loose....which is true!!
Please excuse me as I'm old, and going the way of my mentor!
