Locking a Motor

If I set a motor to 0 power, will that lock the motor? We are picking up the recycling bin with a winch and pulley mechanism, so if the motor driving the winch is allowed to free-spool we are worried that when the weight of the recycling bin is placed on the free-spooling winch the bin will move down. I'm not sure if simply setting the motor to 0 power will lock the motor, or if there is another command to lock a motor.
