Closest thing to that is a philidas nut, but you could use binx nuts or stover nuts, , or durlok.
Have a look on www.tridentracing.co.uk

tbh, I've never bought any, I make my own, just apply a gentle squeeze to a nut in a vice, it acts as a locknut then gripping the thread, never had a issue in 25+ years, obviously amount of squeeze is crucial so just practice on a few dead easy.
