Hub keeps coming loose

I have a no-name front hub on my work bike that has repeatedly come loose. I have overhauled it a couple of times, and adjusted it many more, and it exists on the bike without play for a couple of days, and then it's rocking again. I have overhauled the rear one, which has stayed in adjustment.

I am sure others have had this problem, and I don't think it's because the lock nuts aren't tight enough. I've done all I can to get them on there very tight.

For those of you who have dealt with this, or may know: how do you resolve this? This may seem like a stupid question, but does it matter which way the wheel is mounted? I've eliminated the other things I can think of, though, so it's probably something stupid like that.
