Yes, thanks for that.
Certainly neat and a lot easier to undo than the form I was shown and neater
than the sloppy version I use, my initial lock requiring winding 2 turns and
then back over those 2 turns, so lumpy spiral rather than noose-like.

The one I was shown, the plug was right up against the mains inlet point and
the final loop went over the hanks at the extreme point away from the kit,
IIRC.
That final loop he really forced over the hanks , having to squash them all
at the same time with big fingers that he could probably use as Stilsons.
The only way to undo it, without breaking finger nails etc, was to wedge a
screw driver next that final turn to undo it all.
