This is what goPenpal answered

The past tense of the word "lock" is "locked." Just like a key fits snugly into a lock, the past tense of "lock" fits perfectly into the sentence. It's as if the lock has been secured and can't be opened without the right key. 🗝️✨ So, if you want to express that something was secured or closed in the past, you can confidently use the word "locked." Keep in mind that English verbs can sometimes have irregular past tenses, but "lock" follows the regular pattern by adding -ed to form its past tense. And there you have it, a locked and loaded answer! 😉🔒
