Not a lock, it seems:

NC ~ 1. door bar/bolt 2. materials (such as bamboo, wood, earth, rocks, etc.) used to stop the breaching of a dyke

N ~ 楗 [jiàn]
1. 名 竖着插在门闩上防止左右滑动的木棍。
2. 名 河工在堤岸所竖的桩柱,它的作用是把埽(sào)固定住;篱笆的桩柱
修缮堤楗。

Wenlin ~ 楗 [jiàn] (书) door bolt

J ~ A good traveler leaves no trace. A good speaker makes no slips. A good accountant uses no devices. A good door needs no bolts to remain shut. A good fastener needs no rope to hold its bond.
善行无辙迹,善言无瑕谪;善数不用筹策;善闭无关楗而不可开,善结无绳约而不可 解。

M says sth rather different:
馬疲累跛行的樣子。通「蹇」。周禮˙冬官考工記˙輈人:「終日馳騁,左不楗。」
Diff:
- 楗 楗 [jian4] /door lock/
+ 楗 楗 [jian4] /assorted materials (rocks, earth, bamboo etc) used to hastily repair a dike/(literary) door bar (vertical bar used to prevent the horizontal movement of a door bolt)/
