From the recorded profile

This is a translation of the source description. Dates, affiliations and plans refer to the source’s publication context, not a guarantee of current activity.

The “lock” in Lock Monkey means a key, and “key” literally means a key, making the character an image of locking doors and bicycles, a basic crime-prevention measure. The character participates in volunteer activities, crime-prevention patrols, bicycle-locking campaigns, and crime-prevention classes.
