Locking Cable Release?

Would appreciate any info anyone can provide on a locking cable release. I want to do some long exposures and need a wired cable release that I can lock. Does the Pentax "cable switch CS-205" lock?
Thx, Steve

You can wire up your own locking cable release. I did it really quick with spare parts I had in my shop. There is a great wiring diagram on the following forum:

The image below is the result of such a process. I didn't use a dark frame for this one, but it was very cold this night, so heat wasn't a big issue.

This is 92 30s shots. 24mm, f5.6, ISO 800.

Did you shoot this 92 exposures manually or with any kind of intervalometer?

Real nice photo...
