Locking nuts (or locknuts) and string locks are two different types of locking devices that do almost the same thing.

Locknuts always sit at the end of the fret board and incorporate the nut, the slotted part on the neck where the string vibration stops. It's both a lock and a nut... it's a locknut.

String locks are slightly different because they are attached to the head stock downhill from the nut and is just the "locking" portion. In other words, they only lock the strings and the nut is separate so it's simply called a string lock.
