Lockfast is a Scottish English adjective meaning fastened or secured with a lock — something that is physically locked and not meant to be opened without the right key. It sounds simple but it's a legally meaningful term in Scottish law, particularly in the context of theft and housebreaking, where 'opening a lockfast place' is a specific criminal charge. Beyond the legal context, it's used practically to describe anything that's been properly locked up and secured — a lockfast shed, a lockfast cabinet, a lockfast vehicle.
The police noted that the storage unit was lockfast but the padlock had been cut clean through.
