Meaning of \"Locked in\"

Non-PRO English Marketing Marketing / Market Research
I'm transcribing an Australian TV commercial in which there's scene from a quiz program. A woman gives her answer and the presenter says, "Locked in, correct." Does "locked in" mean "the answer can't be changed now"?

It is faintly possible, no more Perhaps the presenter does something to make that answer unchangeable, whereas other answers can be reviewed by contestants. Locks it away physically or digitally. It isn't inconceivable. But it isn't a common usage. If there isn't anything in the dialogue to support it, maybe you've mis-heard it.
