Disclosed is an assembly for a gas turbine engine, the assembly includes: a spinner or nosecone comprising a threaded rear portion, an engine structure comprising a threaded front portion, the nosecone being threadingly connected to the engine structure, wherein rotation of the spinner or nosecone about the engine structure in a first direction secures the spinner or nosecone to the engine structure and rotation of the spinner or nosecone about the engine structure in a second direction releases the spinner or nosecone from the engine structure; and a lock ring slidingly connected to the engine structure to slide between: a forward position to engage the spinner or nosecone and block rotation of the spinner or nosecone in the second direction, and a rearward position, where the lock ring is spaced from the spinner or nosecone.
