No locking; just increasing friction pressure proportionally.

Dual cam is automatic and the friction sways out now are set it and forget it. By the time you get done fumbling for your controls you'll be toast.

Yeah, but the major advantage of surge brakes is the trailer applies the brakes automatically when it is trying to outrun the TV; thus the sway is stopped before it starts. But, you can't adjust surge brakes easily for weather conditions (wet roads, icy roads, etc). Plus, they can be a bugger to maintain, at least compared to electric brakes.
