I think that would be ill advised, unless the car will only be driven in a straight line.

Locking the mechanism would not allow any slippage between the front and rear differentials, at best, this would present issues while turning on dry pavement (extreme shuttering/binding, axle/cv/differential failure). At worst it would in all likelyhood cause a wreck on wet/slippery surfaces during cornering. Think of an uncontrolled awd drift at 60 on an on ramp.
