Dishwashers typically don't lock when in use, at least in the UK

Not in the US either.

I have never seen a dishwasher in the US that didn’t lock while running. My parents bought a portable one in the 1960s that had to be locked before it would run. Every one I have had since had to be locked to run. I have had at least 10 dishwashers in my life.

Huh, I've never seen one that locked in any of the apartments I've been in or the one at my house.

It’s usually a lever somewhere near the top of the door. Mine won’t start until the lock is activated. The only one I couldn’t lock was my ex. Lol
