the nut with an extra half nut.

Remember that the correct way to use the half nut as a locknut is to put
the half nut on first - then the full nut - tighten them both up to
required torque and then, holding the full nut from turning, back off the
half nut to lock it against the full nut. I've even seen professional
engineers put them on the wrong way round !!
The same method is used even if you are using two full nuts.
