Zefal locking skewers. gravity operated (no key needed), just flip the bike upside down and they unlock. I never have to worry about locking my wheels, just the frame
Here is an example of one of them and I found a 2nd type of locking system. I live in a very non-theft prone area so I only know about the type of lock through a friend who biked more in Boston and even he admitted they were mostly a deterrent. I am sure your local bike shop might have some better suggestions than those or they might know of a better designed brand.
I prefer the Zefal locking skewers.
I would avoid the cable locks at all costs. U-lock, or a chain. To secure your seat and wheels, this is a good idea. I prefer Pitlocks, but the Zefal is better than nothing. Of course, it doesn't hurt to use a U-lock for the frame, and a cable lock for the wheels... but I've seen more than my share of cable locks cut off near bike racks.
The Zefal Locking Bicycle Hub Skewers is good it unlocks only if the bike is upside down.
As far As the saddle, get foil wrap put it on the steps and seat on it. Measure the two dimples and see if your current saddle is wide enough to support it. Either way it takes time to adjust to a New saddle even if its made for you. I use the fizik aliente. Love it
You've got quick release axles you want to make more secure. Maybe I wasn't clear enough but I provided you with quick release axles that are more secure.
You have to flip the bike upside down to unlock those quick release axles.
Zefal makes awesome locking skewers that don't use a key
