A domain in expiry has a different status than a typical lock, called REGISTRAR HOLD. This does lock the domain similar to REGISTRAR LOCK which you have access to, but it also stops the domain from resolving.
Therefore, a renewal of an expired domain will have this status removed, but a renewal of a domain during the paid period that is locked will not affect the lock status as far as .Com and .Net is concerned. .Info, .Biz, and I believe .Org are a little different in that they require an unlock before they may be renewed.

If a domain is active and locked, does renewing via RWI unlock it? m2
