Hi Ian,
I beg to differ with you. I have two friends with Versatowers in Sweden and
they both have locks on all sections - one 3 section tower and the other 4
sections.
Maybe the towers are delivered with only on lock but you can buy them
separately and install on the tower yourself.

Versatowers have only one locking device, a simple flapper plate at the top
of the lowest section. The second section rests on this plate to take the
strain off the winch cable after the tower has been extended, but all of the
higher sections are still hanging on their cables and pulleys.
