ensures
Locks it in
Ensures means makes certain or guarantees.
To ensure something is to take steps so that it happens or remains true: The contract ensures payment within thirty days.
It often appears with that-clauses: We installed cameras to ensure that no one enters unauthorized.
Ensure differs from insure (provide insurance) and assure (remove doubt from someone's mind), though the distinctions blur in casual use.
