Asker: Thanks for feedback. Still, I'm very interested if it is possible to make a sentence with a preposition. i.e. "lock the door on (or with?) the top and bottom locks"?

No, it's not done this way. To avoid having the text sound like it was originally written in another language, you'll need to get creative and play around with the text. Here's a starting point but you'll need take your particular context into account: "He locked up the room, making sure both the latch and deadbolt were securely in place this time."

Example sentence(s):
  • Did you lock the top lock?
  • Damn, I forgot to lock the bottom lock!
