relocked
Secured once more
Relocked is the past tense of relock, meaning to lock something again after it has been unlocked.
This typically applies to doors, safes, phones, or digital devices that require securing a second time.
I relocked the front door after realizing I'd forgotten my wallet.
In smartphone contexts, a relocked phone is one that was previously unlocked for use with any carrier but has been restored to carrier-specific restrictions.
