locked
Needing a key
Locked means secured or fastened, typically with a lock: The door was locked.
Something locked is fixed in position or unable to move: locked in place, locked and loaded.
Figuratively, people become locked in conflict, debate, or embrace—held together tightly.
To be locked in to something is to be committed without easy exit: We're locked in at that price.
In slang, locked or locked in means intensely focused: He's been locked in all season.
