I might not remember correctly, excel (application) changes and flush a few bytes in the excel file when opening it. If another user opens that file again using excel, excel will issue a warning to the second user that the file is read only. This does not depend on file system lock. There are cases where an excel file is incorrectly flagged as readonly if that file was closed properly.
