Nice idea! I had 3 thoughts about the admin UI.
1) The status label and button captions could be a little clearer IMO. Rather than "Is Unlocked"/"Is Locked", how about just "Unlocked"/"Locked"? For the button captions, how about "Lock Topic" and "Unlock Topic" instead of "Create Lock" and "Remove Lock"? 2) It occurred to me that the "File Lock Status" and "Change File Lock" columns in the table will always be either: Is Unlocked | Create Lock or Is Locked | Remote Lock This is really just a single state, so why not combine them into a single column like this: "Locked - [Unlock Topic]" or "Unlocked - [Lock Topic]" Where [Unlock Topic] and [Lock Topic] represents a button with the given caption. It's a minor change, but I think it would make the interface a little cleaner. 3) What about a "Lock Topic"/"Unlock Topic" button right there in the right border if the user has the proper rights. Is that easy to do? It seems it would be nice to bubble that functionality up rather than forcing the user to go into the lock management page and hunt down the topic.

The interface details and an explanation of the use of this new feature are included in my blog at [1].
