I agree with you, Spiritjohn, on NOT using a line-lock or anything that relies on pressure -- be it liquid or air -- as parking brake.
Any liquid or gas under pressure WILL leak down eventually. It may take weeks, but one day we WILL leave the vehicle parked longer than usual, and....
This is why air brake systems went to spring-loaded parking brakes ages ago. (Called a Maxi brake, in the day.)
The spring applies the brake at all times, except when air pressure overpowers the spring so the vehicle can move -- "releasing" the brake.
I have both an AT545 and an MT643 here, if you need a comparison.
And yes, thanks, I will keep you and that bumper in mind.
