I checked it out on MW, and the stress is on the second syllable for all of the three terms defined:
the protective covering hanging from a hat onto the neck; the surname; and the place in North Carolina.
All of 'em: hav-LOCKS!
Sounds unnatural to my ear, so I'd have to force myself through a series of practices to stress that second syllable.
