Hi,

The hubs you are looking at are fixed hubs. Permanently locked.
Not very commom. Guess that can be serviced like any other locks (cleaned and greased).
Not sure what the exact procedure would be.
Here is a link by to locking hub maintenance in the "how it works" section on the site. Hope it helps.

Or: someone has imported the parts from what is most likely the Asian or African market vehicles and has converted them, or they have made them and fitted them.

I had a feeling they were straight through hubs but wanted to check first.
At least there is nothing to go wrong with them!!!
