From my understanding the underscore "_" should serve as a replacement for a space character which would be invalid in this context. So the underscore is not used as a connection between two different terms but simply as a space's replacement. Opposed to that the colon ":" opens a new namespace [1], I wouldn't talk about objects and it's properties here. So the lock-namespace would contain ref and number. Regarding the original question about tagging a lock's name: Why don't you simply use the name-tag?
