TWClassic and TiddlyWiki v5+ have very different internal architectures. 
 *None* of the plugins for TWClassic will work in TiddlyWiki5.... at least, 
not without being completely re-written from the ground up.

Fortunately, many of the previous TWClassic plugins are simply no longer 
needed in TiddlyWiki v5+... because the functionality they provided is now 
part of the TWCore code.  Unfortunately, TiddlyLock is *not* one of those 
plugins... in particular, because it is includes to "file I/O handling", 
and most modern browsers now block direct local filesystem access due to 
security issues.

Important note: The above applies to the *stand-alone* version of 
TiddlyWiki.  If you are using nodeJS, TiddlyFox, or TiddlyDesktop, there 
*is* some support for direct local file system access, because each of 
these applications is installed and run locally, and can request access to 
"priviledged" file I/O functions.

Another important note: the nodeJS usage stores individual tiddler as 
separate files.  This permits multiple users to simultaneously make changes 
to *different* tiddlers without a problem.  However, I don't think that 
nodeJS *currently* handles "collisions" when two people try to update the 
same tiddler at the same time: any changes saved by the first person will 
be overwritten when the second person saves their tiddler changes.  Whoever 
saves last, "wins".

Sorry I couldn't provide a more useful answer...

enjoy,
