I think you should tell us what do you mean with lock in the specific case
.... And give us an example of which cells you want to lock...

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

By default all cells on a sheet are locked when the sheet is protected.

CTRL + a(twice in 2003) to select all cells.

FormatCellsProtection. Uncheck "locked" and OK

Now select the sections/rows/cells to protect and FormatCellsProtection.
Check "locked" and OK

ToolsProtectionProtect Sheet

The section/row locking does not work if you don't protect the sheet.
